I didn't have any problems with the quest, but I had read that their were problems so I was very careful. 360

I didnt have any problems with the quest either and at he time I did it I didnt even know there was any problem and just charged head on into it.

This is one off the most buggy quests in the game the quest just wont start for me I'm on the PS3 waiting for the patch,the patch note do say it fixes the not triggering bug I hope it does.

The problem with patching a quest that works fine for many (a lot of people who never had any problem with that quest will never post here) and not fine for others is that it'll end not working at all for anyone. I don't want to imagine what these forums will look like then.

yes, i recently finished this quest, it is NOT a "buggy piece of ****" - its actually a very good a fun quest which isint just like "go get this sword fron this ruin and ill give you cookies" its the sort of quest that people who really love immersion will do, when i started it i was so shocked by the murder, it felt so real!

but yes, once before i said it was the buggiest quest in tes history, ifi m honest with you i think that beth did a good job with it but by the end of it they got bored so they didnt bother to test it first!!

It did, but at least that bit got fixed with patch 1.04.

I've just started this quest - took me quite a while to figure out how to trigger the actual events, after I had heard the rumours in Windhelm - but when I read that it has many bugs, I decided to follow the walkthrough (+ notes & bugs section!) of the wiki:

One warning that may or may not still be relevant....I'd go for sure, and take note of it anyway :
