Animal Extermination is always in the same location?

This is a problem I've had for years and years now. In fact, I've had it ever since the game first came out. Every single time I do this quest, its always the same location. In fact, it used to also always be the same creature. Consequently, I never did this quest much because I found it dumb. Besides, its not very much fun to do anyway; at least Farkas sends you out to clear a bandit camp, or a falmer den, or maybe clear out some vampires.

 

Doing it for my last playthrough (which failed btw), I had the same problem, minus the fact that the animal in question did vary.

 

Looking on the UESP about this, apparently there's supposed to be over 40 locations that can be chosen for this quest, including some houses the player can own! The odds of getting the same location should be less than 1/40, but yet I keep getting the same one over and over again even if I do the quest over half a dozen times. Also, this playthrough I had completed the companions quest line, so I had visited most of the map. Still, I kept getting sent to Alvor's house every single time, and Hadvar was always in there fighting the creature in question which obviously begged the question why I had to show up to save the day.

 

What could be causing this? I'd had this happen even if I don't have a single mod installed. In fact, its persisted between different computers. Why can I find no mention of this glitch? I've always had it and I have no idea why it happens. I mean, in my last playthrough I visited Dawnstar, Solitude, Markarth, Karthwasten, and Falkreathe. So then why is the animal always invading Alvor's house in Riverwood? Yeah, its nice to have a short walk each time, but it just makes the quest dumb as I said. And it doesn't help it isn't exactly the most interesting radiant quest to begin with. I was only doing it so Aela would give me the quests for the totems of Hircine.

 

What could be going on?
