Reddimus Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 This is about the story that happens immediately when you first enter Markarth. The Forsworn Conspiracy I usually go about quests by what it tells you to do and also helping the good guys. That ended up with me going to jail. In order to not fail any part of the quest, I had to talk to and listen to Madanach's story. My first attempt lead to Madanach and company slaughtering a bunch of people in Markarth, which I didn't want to happen considering this is literally the first quest I had in this city. So instead, as soon as Madanach unlocked the door to the city, I attacked him and killed all of his supporters. What did you choose to do? Is there another quest from them afterwards?

Is there another quest from them afterwards?I actually killed Madanach, took the key and note and killed everyone else in that mine.Ran into a little trouble after that, cause I cant get to my gear. The gate leading to the guards is locked and requires a key wich I cant find anywhere. I can however escape the mine (strangly enough the door leading to the city requires a key too, but opens without problems) but ones back in the city I get attacked by thonar silver-blood who cant die. The guards no longer want to arrest me luckely but instead try to take Thonar down. So I'm a bit clueless in what the hell is going on. Where do I go? Am I still getting my gear back? Hope someone can help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambersja01 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I just asked about this please what do I do after I find the guy dead at talos shrine do I have to submit to jail?? Or where exactly is cidna mine located? Marcvss I know its cheating sort of but if you press the ~ button in the game click on the door and type unlock you can get your stuff back but idk this quest is retarted it ended with three guards at the Talos shrine and idk what to do after that because I killed all the guards (20 or so) and then theres no more part of the quest..

When you complete that and go back to talos shrine guards have killed him and pin it on you. You need to let them arrest you. You will be taken to cidhna mine, wich you then must escape... In there you must meet with a guy named Madanach and either escape with him or kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to get arrested? :( I wonder when they made the quest if they thought how many people would be a wussy and get arrested ok I guess I'll do that or do you have a map marker of the place can you screenshot it or tell me a nearby location? And what do you recommend I do after getting arrested to not screw up the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you recommend I do after getting arrested to not screw up the game?Well yeah atleast I let them arrest me since you cant pay off the bounty and those guards were constantly trying to arrest me. I even searched for hours to find a console command to get rid of my bounty. Nothing worked. Its either fight or go to jail or never show your face in that town again. Going to jail unlocks a new quest so thats a positive thing anyways. As for the best course of action in my opinion... Talk to the guy. Killing him got me in trouble. Theres no marker for it on the world map. Its located near understone keep. (Cheers btw for the tip on using the ''unlock'' cc on that gate, didn't work though. Tried that command on several locks btw an it never has worked.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what ever you do if you decide to have yourself arrested... Don't kill Madanach!!!!! Edit; I found a way round the bug by using the TCL command to get past the gate. Collected my gear and just walked out the front door. Quest completed. Edited November 16, 2011 by Marcvss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collected my gear and just walked out the front door. Quest completed. Bug huh? I let them arrest me. Did the quest so i could have a little personal one on one talk with Madanach. Pickpocketed a random prisoner for a shiv. Killed Madanach, looted his body. Found a note on him saying he had a key somewhere. Found the key. Went out of mine using Madanach's alternate tunnel route. Exited tunnel Thonar showed up, gave me my equpments and.... QUEST COMPLETED. plus i',m so going to kill Thonar in his sleep (if possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RozenDoll Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am currently in the midst of the quest and i didn't even knew. Here's what i've done so far: I've done the quest about the sudden murder, which ended being surprised by the corrupt guards. i fought them off, went out and fought the rest of the city's guard off, all while i was wondering what the hell is going on. after getting away from markareth with a 'mere' 12k bounty on my head, i noticed in my journal (under "completed quests"!!) that i was supposed to get jailed to advance the story. my question: can i still progress the quest by having myself arrested and jailed, and get rid of my bounty without having to lose my money?
