So to start with i play on the ps3 and I have a level 61 nord with over 180 hours of gameplay.i have done over 130 quest and over 230 misc.. quests. This is a problem that needs to be fixed, proper stacking of soul gems. i have 5 common soul gems all filled with common souls and only 4 stack to one pile and the other is on its own. Also the remains of Lucien Lachance never go away after he is killed no matter where he is killed. I also have just passed 1 year mark in my game and i wonder why the items in my house in whiterun (brezzehome) dont restock themselfs its been long enough. In the quest Animal extermination it is a random kill on a random monsters at a random location.. mine happens to be Greenspring hollow which i have previously cleared , however when i go there for the quest there is no animal and just a quest marker. i have done other quests hoping the animal would appear in time but everytime i go back nothing...no matter how long i wait or sleep no monster seem to appear. i have tried killing animals in the area thinking its just not there at the moment and has wandered off but i don't get a update after killing all the monsters in the area surrounding. Any thoughts .......... otherwise i think quests in the game should be able to be cancled and restarted as an option for quests of this type it would give me a new location and new animal to kill... making this problem solved ....

I am also having the same problem with the companion quest to clear Greenspring hollow. Like you, I had cleared the hollow before receiving the companion quest. However, When I went to the hollow there was a bear and I killed it. Unfortunately, the quest would not complete and I can not do any of the other companion quest. I tried emailing Bethesda and serching these forums, but I just can't seem to find any usefull information

Regarding the quest at Greenspring Hollow, you are kinda screwed. If you clear it and a radiant quest directs you to kill something there, then what you were meant to kill is dead but not registered as dead. In my experience waiting for a very long time in a different cell doesn't even fix this. Bothers the hell out of me.

I really dislike this trend with Beth regarding radiant quests. It makes everything more fragile and about as deep as Mike Tyson.
