Please fix all the broken quests.

[Bounty quest]
Picked up a quest to kill a bandit leader in the Valtheim Keep.... THERE IS NO KEEP, only towers, and they are completely void of life since i killed everyone there in the start of the game. And doesn't show on map even when activated as active.

[Quest - Flight or Fight]
Ran into a corpse and got a quest to tell his family he was dead, but i can't because the quest doesn't register with the Target NPC and doesn't show on map even when activated as active.

[Bow to the Master]
Got a quest to search for a bow. Found the bow, but even with the quest marked as Active, it is not visible on the map.

[Blood on the Ice]
You get a quest to investigate murders. Part of the quest is to search the scene. But no matter how much you walk around the scene at the graveyard, you get no completion of that part.


I am sure there are a ton of other quests as well. Sort them out.

1) I have a quest from some Jarl to kill a dragon at Skyborn Altar - which I had previously cleared, and it's broken: no dragon there now, going to Journal and trying to have Map show location doesn't work either

2) Companion quests after K dies are stuck

For that investigate one you are supposed to follow the trail of blood which leads up the stairs and down a road to the door of a house. When you reach the house's door with blood splattered over it the quest updates. That's a confusing one. It had me puzzled at first thinking I had to hunt around the graveyard itself for something.


The Valtheim one though really is bugged. There is a specific orc bandit you are sent to kill, but if he's already dead the quest can't be completed. I got that radiant quest given to me twice by an innkeeper, the second time it got stuck though because he was already dead of course.

If it's Leifnarr's death to report to his family you can find his wife Grota in Heartwood Mill , west of Riften and very west from Faldar's Tooth, together with their son Granolch. Unfortunately there is no dialogue even when the child asks you about his father...

[Blood on the Ice]
1: There is no trail of blood from the Graveyard to the house.
2: Jorleif will not start any conversation.
3: Viola will not start any conversation.

How about Bethesda sort this out ?. Seriously, this quest is one of the most bugged out quests according to Wiki.

Thu'um it out your rear.

If you have this many complaints, don't annoy people of the community who have no problem with the game: Go get a different game.

For the complaints about gameplay and how things run, I could agree that I'm tired of hearing those bash Bethesda. At that point I would say, "You've bought the wrong game." But this doesn't seem to be the case. If it's problems with the game not working. Well why shouldn't it be fixed? (Disclaimer - I've played Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and love them all) I never had any problems in Oblivion with quests. Now with Skyrim... I haven't had a LOT of problems but there have definitely been more than I'd like. So far, I have one quest that I won't be able to complete due to a dang briarheart.

If you don't believe Skyrim has any bugs, why read the posts where someone is obviously having problems with them? Not trying to start a war here, but just thought it was out of place to make that comment to the OP.

Nobody is making you read this thread!

Your ignorant answer is much more non-productive then repeated complaints about valid problems with the game.

He's been trolling all day posting about how "broken" the game is, even on threads where it wasn't necessary.

Do you really want to continue arguing with a complete stranger over the internet because he finally got fed up with people complaining, or are you going to ignore this post of mine and let the world keep spinning?



Not to mention that this is the wrong forum for complaining about bugs in general. He's not asking for help: He's asking for Bethesda to fix them. This should be in the http://www.gamesas.com/forum/179-skyrim-hardware-and-software-issues-subforums/ section, shouldn't it?

sure, it's a boring night, and I like winning arguements

possible he's still hoping there is some way around the problem - and this forum would be the place to get an answer to a spoiler type question

Then let him come in and ask a specific question about the problems he's having and give more detailed information. Until then, it's in the wrong forum.

I think the issue here is that we all don't wander very far outside this forum, so rants just get put in here.
I don't think anyone really cares if it "might" be in the wrong section, it just gets posted.

So your Skyrim's perfect and issue free, eh. Where the hell can I get one of those copies.

A large portion of my aggravation towards people complaining is the fact that, within playing over 500 hours of this game, I've run into maybe five or six bugs, none of them actually breaking a quest other than Blood on Ice. So...I really don't understand what people are doing to break their games so often. Not to mention I'm on the ps3, what is supposed to be the most bugged version of the game.

So you're firing all guns on an assumption that everyone here speaking from bugged PC/360 points of view are all exaggerating and full of crap.
And your logic is backed up with the fact that you've only got in the neighborhood of 500 hours, and on an entirely different platform.
That's a great reason for your aggravation.

Is PS3 supposed to be the "most bugged version?" I have no idea, and I don't give a damn. I'll never own one.
But your noob assumptions on the rest of us are really aggravating.

What are people doing to break their quests? Playing the game, that's what.
What do you call it when you're unable to perform one quest because you did some other quest first, and forgotten technical issues by Beth prevents that? I'd call that a "broken quest."
Even if we dismissed our own (valid) complaints and concentrated only on broken quests, we'd still have a lot to say on it.

Skyrim's not bug-free, and pretending it is doesn't help the cause.
If it gets on your nerves so much to see others discussing broken, busted, bugged, BETA Skyrim, and expressing their angst and disappointment in the greatest series ever, and wondering if they wasted 60 bucks, maybe you should go police the Oblivion boards.

Many of the bugs reported here on these forums were later fixed in the patches.

There are still more in the game, and it pays for people to report them here so that the developers notice and do fix them eventually.

1.4 installed on my 360 via normal update procedures. It didn't fix anything. It actually caused some other problems. I've also read that for the actual bugs that were fixed you should start a new game. I'm almost done with the MQ so I won't be starting a new game. I'll be finishing what's left to do and wait for DLC. I've put over 200 hrs in this play through so I'm not about to put another 200 hrs in unless I just would do a power play through of the civil war and MQ on Novice level, but then what's the fun in that? My total time in Skyrim is around 400 hrs. (first play got totally fubared at about 160 hrs. before getting to the good parts) so I'm done for a while after I finish the MQ.
