I noticed the quest "Repair the White Phial" is broken. You can't harvest the forsworn heart. The other bugs have been noted, such as quest items not being removed and then stuck in your inventory. All the fetch quests from the bards have this and the decoded journal of Gallus in the thieves guild. Great game!

Look for a different forsworn briarheart. Some of them don't have them in their inventory for some reason. Briarhearts are the boss of any forsworn location.

hold on a sec you can repair the white phial?

is there anyway to remove gallus's journal from your inventory on the x box? will it be fixed in an upcoming patch?

i wish they at least made all quest items weigh 0 like they did in oblivion, kind of annoying having precious space being taken up

that's bugged too apparently, for some reason the quest for repairing it wont start. This happened to me also.

Oh and to OP, if you are on PC you can player.remove those items and setstage for your quests. if your on xbox, like me, then you'll have to wait for a patch to fix those.
