According to my Steam ticker, I've been playing the game for over 270 hours. I love the game. But I just NOW found out that because I entered Markarth for the first time through the quest 'A Night to Remember' I may very well be bugged out of getting the chance to even start the 'The House of Horrors' quest.

Does anybody know if there are plans to fix this in an upcoming patch? I know I'll be making more characters in the future and would get around to playing it eventually, but I'd like to be able to with this character too.

Read the list of fixes in the up coming patch. If it ain't listed then i guess the answer is no. (not checked so can't tell you)

I entered Markarth the same way, and I got the House of Horrors quest...

On PC here.

I'm on PC too... and no luck. Tried searching through these forums and it's mostly just a mess of people saying they can't get it and not very many positive results. And according to that list, doesn't seem like it's going to be addressed in this patch.

This is a little off topic. but i was in windhelm and this guy walked buy and offered to take me into the house of curiosities and I thought 'cool I wondered about that place.' So I gladly gave him the two gold. Well I decided to pick his pocket of some loose change. It went off without a hitch you could say, but then he yelled. "Get away from me!" and no i didn't get a bounty. He walked into the house of curiosity and so I stepped up to enter after him and the door was locked. OK, well I tried to step back a minute, even tried to wait, to no avail it remained locked so I picked the lock. Took a couple tries and then I entered. He sees me and yells, "guards, intruder!" well I exited and re-entered and he still thinks im there to steal from him or something. I mean I paid the 2 gold to see whats in there or what he was going to offer, and he merely locked himself inside. Maybe I can try later. that is if he ever leaves the "house of curiosities" bwhauhahahaha ha ha.... ok

The House Of Horrors quest doesn't always start right away. I've been in Markarth several times, only to have it randomly start.

Does anyone know if Bethesda is aware of the issue? Is there a location for users to submit problems they've been having?

I've read the bugs list on UESP and I'm apparently not the only one who has the issue.

I've had no issues with it. Infact I've visted Makarth at least 10 times with my current character and the Vigilant is still standing there waiting for me to talk to him. Go figure. I did have issues with blood on ice on my first character though, which was solved by entering Hjerim.

Was expecting a desire for an alternate option in the quest where you defy Molag Bal entirely.

it starts after you have reached a certain level, not sure which level, but a level.

So even if this isn't addressed with a patch, do you think it'd be fixable through the CK?

You dont have to be a certain level for this, you can start it at any level

Congratulations,

I first visited Markarth through 'A Night to Remember'. Went back very many hours later. An NPC collared me and House of Horrors began. I was unaware there was a bug here.

I'm playing on Xbox 360.
