Can't Read Location; Won't Show On Map

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 9:06 am

I just picked up a quest from one of the inns to go kill a bandit leader, but the words are so small on my TV screen that I can't read them. I actually have trouble making out a lot of the names of things in this game because I can't tell what letters are in the words. My boyfriend and my roommate can't read them, either.

It also will not give me an arrow or show me a location on the map. The place I'm being directed to looks like it says "Orzrheim". I looked on the wikia, but nothing that looks like that came up for the list of locations for bandit leader killing quests.

It's Orotheim. Between Markath & Whiterun, near a giant camp. You should be able to zoom in to the map. And you must have Misc on the tab of the journal and the individual misc task both ticked for the marker to show up.

Found it! Thank you! :biggrin:

I did have both the misc tab and task ticked though... I don't know why it won't take me there. I double checked to make sure no other quests were activated as well. :confused:

It might mean the badit is already dead. And hasn't respawn yet.

I don't know if this was an issue (I forget all the time.), but open the map first and while it's up, open the journal, select the quest, then select Show on Map.

I have a permanent Misc Quest to kill the bandit leader at Rift Watchtower. Although I check it off correctly, highlighting it and trying to zoom to it produces nothing. I had killed everyone there just wandering through very early in my character's career (less than level 20), I am now level 60+ and they still haven't respawned, and I still can't get any arrows to point me there.

At least I am not the only one stuck with this. I haven't yet tried console commands to fix it (it's just not that important to me). I'm thinking forcing the cell to reset may work better than forcibly advancing the quest (if the forced reset even works).
