Is there bug fix?

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:50 pm

I'm a newbe here so sorry if this has been covered. I have a real issue with a bug on the xbox quest. I can not get the Containment quest to start. But bug issues were listed on the sub forum. Containment quest will not start. And The dead arch mage is not noted as being dead by NPC. Is there a way to compelete this quest. I am so frustrated at this I am ready to stop playing the game. My charecter is a mage so this quest line is very important to me. Reloading an earlier game is not possible, since it has been awhile and I did not know this was glitch until I searched on it. As I mentioned these bugs are noted on the xbox subforum but I do not see where any of these bugs have been addressed.

I'm having the same problem on the PS3. I tried every possible "fix" mentioned in other posts without success. I'm hoping Bethesda will come up a fix soon... Let me know if you find a way around this issue.

What is the name of the quest? Maybe I can shed some light on this issue.

Is it the quest where you have to stop Ancano at the College?

If so, perhaps you spoke to Tolfdir too soon. He has to initiate conversation upon arriving back at the College after getting the staff for the script to run appropriately

I play on pc and i have several irritating bugs, Jordis still refers to me as thane even though i married her, and she doesnt sleep in our bed. display cases not working, shouts not working etc etc. Don't know if I should roll another char or just give up game.

The Quest is called "Containment". It is after "Revealing the unseen". It is before you are given the quest where you have to get the Staff of Magnus. In the Containment quest you only have the kill the floating killers balls. The Revealing the unseen ended and it shows up in the completed quests area but the "Containment" quest never starts. There is a dead arch mage laying in the courtyard and his body never disappears. You can pick it up and drag it like a scene from Weekend at Bernie's and not one person acts as though he is dead. Even in the conversations with others at the college they all refer to him in the present tense. This really is a bummer of a glitch. Why could there not be a glitch in one of the misc. quests like taking beef jerky to someone?
