Fighters Guild Quest: Harlun's Watch Bug?

[Excal]

Hello fellow gamers. Please forgive me if this issue was covered elsewhere, but I read as many threads as I could and didn't find anything specific on my problem. The problem is, I have been working through the fighters guild quests. I am on the "Mystery at Harlun's Watch" quest and I am supposed to find an intact body named Eduard Denile. My compass pointer leads me straight to the area in the swampy cave, but all thats there is 3 skeleton corpes, and 2 zombie corpes. When I cursor over them, it just says skeleton and zombie. Not Eduard Denile. Needless to say, the required quest journal messages are not triggered, and I can't complete the quest. Anybody had this problem, or know of any solutions?

 

The only thing I can think of is that the 3 skeletons are really close together, and sometimes when you move the cursor over close objects, you keep getting the adjacent objects name. Or, as I read in another post. Someone had a similar problem in one of the mages guild quest, and it was said that some dead bodies time out and disappear after 3 days or something? And you can't easily get them back cause who knows what the objects ID is. I sure hope not, cause then I am really screwed. I am practically at the end of all the fighters guild quests, with alot of hours in. I even tried going back to a save that was before I got the quest, but the mission target is still not there.

 

I have not had any other major problems so far, bar the odd freeze-up or crash, so I have not installed the official game patch. The only mods I have running are the three I purchased which were the orrery, horse armor pack, and the wizard's tower. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

if i recall you need to find out about strange lights from the towns folk, then find a "will-o-the-wisp" you should get an update.

then you go into the cave and you should find some trolls, then go to the room with the skelotons and other stuff and you should get a update, if not try running around the entire room,

If non of this works try disabling all your mods,

if that doesnt work try advancing the quest via console command.

This is a known bug said to be fixed in the official beta patch which is freely downloadable on the official site. Alternatively you can check in the construction set for the command to trigger the correct journal entry and enter it via the console.

Thanks Malchik for the info. Thanks to you too Mechsaber. Maybe its time to try the patch.

I have the exact same problem. I raided this cave before I got the Fighters Guild mission, thinking that you couldn't break quests in Oblivion by exploring.

 

Now I have the same ivisable body problem and green arrow to nothing.

 

Thanks for the ideas. I may look on Elder Scrolls Planet's web site and see if I find a cheat code, now that I know what the name of the person I am looking for. Thanks. I'll post a solution if I find one!

 

Good Luck!

Here is how to fix this, at least it worked for me:

 

Go to the spot where the body was supposed to be.

 

Hit the ~ key to enter console mod.

 

enter: player.placeatme 00034597

 

hit enter

 

Eduard Denile will appear and the quest screens will appear that say you have solved the quest.

 

It's a little weird to talk to the dead guy, but you can if you want to.

 

Return to Harlun's Watch, tell them what happened and get your reward!

 

P.S. The patch did NOT fix this for me and turning off mods didn't either. If you go to elderscrollsplanet.com, they have cheat codes for just about anything you get stuck on, but for the PC version only.
