Dark Brotherhood quest issue

[rando3]

Third dead drop, quest name broken vows, ID is Dark12Harem.

 

The problem is at the end of the quest when you go to the old bridge. For some reason, the "rotten box" never appeared and I saved right after I killed the Khajit, so my save and autosave both have the bug.

 

I think this could be fixed if someone could find the ID of the box with the construction kit (I don't know how to use it) and tell me how to manually enable it with the console....

 

Please note that the unofficial patch didn't fix this, and I tried manually ending the quest, giving myself the note for the next quest and manually starting it. Needless to say it got me nowhere.

 

Thanks for any help

Try:

 

SetStage Dark12Harem 100

Player.AddItem 30146 1

Player.AddIfem f 500

SetStage Dark13Justice 10

 

If you really need the box ID it is 30147. but the above should get you going. It advances the quest to completion, adds the next orders and your reward, then sets the next quest going.

Thank you.

 

I tried something of the likes above. I might have done startquest instead setstage on dark13justice.

 

Now, how do I enable it with the console? enable 30147? or is it more detailed?

If you've started Dark13Justice then the rotting box will do you no good. But no, that ID is the base editor ID. You would need the RefID of the item placed in-game. You shouldn't mess with console command without knowing what you are doing. You may have to revert to a previous save.

I would rather enable the box through the console if at all possible rather than telling the game to finish the quest, give myself the items and start the next. Unless that's not possible.

 

If it's not I'll just do it the other way. Is there any way I could get the RefID of the box and enable it?

You have to understand that if you have started the next quest, this quest is finished, and will not update at all... ever... even if you enable the box in the console. But if you want to give it a try, the only way of finding the RefID is to save your game via the console. Open the console and type:

 

save "mysavename" 1

 

the '1' is the important thing, as it dumps the save to a text file. You will find (in your save folder) mysavename.ess.txt . You will need to open it up and search for Rotten Box. The RefID will be the first eight digit number in the line where Rotten Box is found.

Not sure if my previous post was confusing, but I have not started the next quest. I tried setstage dark12harem 100 and startquest dark13justice but that didn't SEEM to do anything, so I just quit without saving.

 

But thank you for the help. Kudos
