Bharakrama Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 All right. I think that there was a thread before which dealt with this problem, however there was no resolution to it. Basically the problem is that I can't find the forger whos name I guess is "Stranger." He isn't in his abandoned house in Anvil or in the castle (as other people have pointed out). I can't find him anywhere, no matter how long I wait. And I mean regular waiting ... not hitting "T." I thought possibly of just spawning him but the code I thought was for him happened to be a mountain lion. Much good that did me of course. Is there anyone who can help me with this problem? This is seriously starting to piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 It is difficult to believe this is a game glitch because it affects only a few people. It is sometimes possible for a random game to spawn an NPC in some way trapped - I have had bandits in rocks before now - but again I think it is very rare. I do not know the stranger's full routine but every morning he sits facing the Countess and at night he sleeps in the abandoned house. If he is not in either of those places at those times he has either not spawned at all or been spawned somewhere he is trapped. I believe his ID is 0000C230 but calling him up via the console may screw up the thieves guild in a big way, I don't know. UESP under their page on use of Console have another suggested way of finding an NPC, one I have not used. I would suggest you check out their site and see about trying the other way first.

Abramul Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Might it work to use the command that moves you to an object? Don't remember what it was... EDIT: Hidden message below. Select to view. This should probably be in spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bharakrama Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 All right well. The thing was while doing this quest I was also doing the "Ultimate Heist" quest for the Thieves Guild. So I thought that maybe that would have caused some sort of weird glitch. So I finished up that quest and got my reward and stuff for it. And then I went back and started up Taking Care of Lex and no dice. Of course I didn't know if that was going to work or not. Anyway, I decided to use the "movetoqt" command but that just put me in the 2nd floor room of the abandoned house without the "Stranger" anywhere in sight. I also tried spawning him using the code that was given to me by Malchik, but it says that its a code that isn't recognized. I guess this is a quest which is going to stay undone. What a waste.

Malchik Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well afaik the taking care of Lex quest has to be done before you can get the quests from the Grey Fox so somewhere earlier there seems to have been a glitch. You should not be able to get any quest from the grey fox while that quest is unfinished. Something else has screwed the TG but I have no idea what. Perhaps a mod.

mulder Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I had lost the stranger to when i played taking care of lex quest.But i finde him in bruma. He is the gray fox and if he is still in bruma then you whont find him in anvil.Talk to him and if i send you on a missin take it and komplite it.When you return to him, talk to him and the wait a minute.When you get a logg entry saing that the gray fox will contakt you when you hav sold for x septims (sold for 700-1000) then he goes away. if he does this then you can find him in anvill as the Stranger.
