I recently got a quest from the Companions that required me to kill the leader of the Summerset Shadows, but I had already done that after a got the quest from the Thieves Guild. I tried to kill him again, but he was still dead when I got there (although the other enemies respawned). Now I cant finish the quest, and I heard there is a shout in it for me on one of their later quests. I cant get a new quest, and I cant abandon the old one. Any solutions other than starting over? It took me weeks to get where I am now and I prefer not to.

Please do not post Spoilers in General.

People come to General to learn about the game without learning about what happens in the game. If they want to know about what happens, that is what the Cheats, Hints and Spoilers section is for.

Do not use quest details or location specific details related to quests/puzzles/NPCs in your posts in this section. General is for discussing gameplay and mechanics. General topics about the the game include but are not limited to races, items and their use, magic, enchanting, skills, character builds, criticism, praise, funny random things that happen, places from an esthetic standpoint and and other general topics.

Use the Spoilers Section if you have to post quest details or other spoilers or a thread about the same. This also includes console commands, and character build exploits.

I will move this now.

Are you on the PC or Console? If you're on the PC, try resurrecting him with console commands, or using the console to advance the quest via setstage.

Unfortunately, I am on the consule so I cant do that. However, I really appreciate the help.
