Laid to Rest.

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:56 am

I'm posting this to see if there is something bugging out my quests.
I just spent about 2 weeks getting my game to the perfect stage with mods and such, and started my new game yesterday. All was going ok untill I started 'Laid to Rest'.
Is it just me or is this the buggiest quest known to man?

My issues:-

Spoiler

1. Upon finding Helgi's coffin Laelette attacks, I killed her and then activated the coffin to speak to Helgi. The husband then appeared and I had him AND the girl talking to me at the same time so I missed what both of them were saying.
Multipul reloads and it seems you actually shouldnt talk to the coffin as he always appears, says something and then walks away. LEaving you unable to talk to Helgi.

2. The linch mob that goes to the cave get there and just stand there.
Upon talking to the husband he calls the rest cowards, I was like "Why, they are here arnt they?". A minute or so later they decide to say something and wander off.
Multipul reloads and this stays the same.

3. The husband is horribly bugged as a follower. Stands around doing nothing, appears out of nowhere, gets stuck.

4. Upon killing the Master Vampire thwe husband just stands there and says nothing in relation to the quest or fulfilling the reason for being there.

5. Alva is also in the cave, but she either A. Attacks the other vampires and complains about me 'ruining everything', or B. Just does nothing and says "Can I help you?" or something along those lines.
She does everything except what she should, turn hostile.


All of these things have really broken my immersion for this game and I've lost all hope, I hate having to reload because of bugs and retry things :9
I love this game but I really cant wait for the unofficial patch.

Has anyone else had these problems with this quest?

My mods for your information, in case something might be causing this.

I've encountered number 1 before, I think you just have to use the coffin before Thonnir shows up. You dont have to talk to her to advance the quest though, it just gives you more information. I just cleared out the cave on my own, so the follower problem isnt something I had to deal with. I dont know about the rest of it, but number 2 is supposed to happen.

EDIT: I dont play with mods, so I dont know what, if any, effect they might have.

Yeh I realise that number 2 is supposed to happen, the problem is the way it happens. It's not done right. They just stand there without saying anything and the Husband refers to something they havent done yet, guess he's psychic.

EDIT: With further testing it seems if I attack Alva in the cave, she is just asleep for some reason I get a bounty added to my head............................
This has to be an oversight or a bug, how can she not turn hostile or at least say something to give us a reason not to kill her, let alone get a bounty!
