Extacide Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm a huge OCD completionist. I was curious what would happen if you went and cleared one (which actually meant all) of the bandit camps before you received the bounty for it in Riverwood/Whiterun. Turns out the option for the quest disappears entirely. I've been semi paranoid about clearing any dungeon without obtaining a quest along side of it, but this test will probably prevent me from exploring entirely. Anyone know of other missable quests; and better yet- is there any updated quest list that allows you to filter quests based on the dungeon associated to them, or am I simply doomed to have to be ultra careful and wait until all of the databases get updated?

Pronam Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) This might be radiant story, meaning that you will not get the quest unless the game picked it for you. That is why you if you visit a bunch of camp/dungeons for a side quest in a region before, you will be assigned to a dungeon/camp further away if you already cleared them. There might indeed be some buggy parts as the game's just out, but do remember it's possibly an actually working feature as well :thumbsup: . The game might indeed so choose to skip it entirely as there's nothing close to it/ in the list. Edited November 15, 2011 by Pronam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually tested this, or at the very least these specific string of quests. With the same character too, in an earlier save. The option to find bounties and kill bandit leaders disappeared from both Orgnar and Proventus Avenicci. I doubt it's a bug either, rather a consequence of such a wide open sandbox where you can clear dungeons before you even get a quest to do so. The difference is a couple hundred gold and a quest reward, and most people might not even care either way.

Pronam Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well it's either set to only start when the bounty hunters are alive and to end the quest when they are dead or it's a bug being 'not fully cared for' being it triggered journal stages ahead. Meaning that dialogue option won't appear or it is at a non reporting stage (no text entry) that is set when killing bandits that either bugs (doesn't continue) or rules it out (fixes it at a post stage that does complete the quest but does not provide any text). You'll be able to see when the CK is out, I am hoping it's properly set off here as else it would mean it could occur at a lot more quests. I like to free-roam as much as you, just hoping it's not killing too many quests over time. Mainly as they contribute to your reputation in region and the jarl.
