Target NPC for quest is dead : V

» Thu Jun 07, 2012 6:07 am

I got the Hired Muscle quest from Farkas for The Compagnions Questline, have to intimidate Faendal in Riverwood, but he seemed to be killed by a dragon attack, now i'm stuck on that questline, any way to abandon quest or get that NPC back up, i'm playing Skyrim on the X-Box 360 btw.

Thx

Try going back to the quest giver and choosing "you do this one".

reload a previous save infortunelly one of the few options for you in a console no pun intended

Damn...another one. Come on, Bethesda, y'all need to give us an option to abandon and restart quests. :confused:

It is that darned radiant stuff. The solution has to be to abandon the quest if the randomized portion fails. Fixing them on a case-by-case would just be a worthless band-aid.

...or impossible. There's a difference in knowing the problem and knowing the cause(s).

PC? Box? On PC, if you find Faendal's body, you can revive him by using the command resurrect in console and brawl him. That will solve your problem. If you can't find his body, open the console and enter

player.placeatme 0001348C

and Faendal should materialise in front of you.

If you're on PC, you can either use the above console command to respawn a new version of the NPC at you, or you can use the setstage command to complete the quest manually if that doesn't work. Look up skyim console commands on uesp.net for more information on how to do this.

Yeah, I've had a few radiant quest problems with the quest assigning me to children. Too bad they aren't fair game...

What is the code to complete the quest manually (PC) I can't find it anywhere, and I've tried to resurrect, that doesn't work, I respawned and intimitaed but my menu still shows the dead Faendal with an arrow for me to intimdate. I just want to get past this dang quest already.

Awesome, thanks so much that worked.
