sgb617 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I came across a cave, I believe it is called Forbidden Cave or Forsaken Cave (can't recall), so I entered and went all the way through it collecting everything. One item was book call The Waters of Oblivion. Later I came across a quest requiring I get that book. I already had it in my inventory, but I can't turn it in to complete the quest. So I went back to the cave to see if it's there still and I can get it again, but it's gone. I can't drop it cuz it's a quest item either. So I have an open quest I can't complete, and a quest item for it that's stuck in my inventory doing me no good. I'm too far now to just load an earlier save. Is there anything I can do??? Find it elsewhere so it recognizes me picking it up while the quest is active?? Is there a console workaround for this??? Can I use a cheat or whatever to remove it from my inventory and try to get it again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeniyagyu Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have the same problem. if you have the ID of the book you could try "removeitem" then "additem" to see if the quest updates. I don't know if that will help but it is something to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgb617 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've tried that and it didn't work. Gonna try to figure out the quest id and do a console work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketcher15 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Hi, im also stuck with this, was you able to find out the ID for the quest? If need be I could list my current quest IDs to see if any are a match to yours? In my search I found that by following the description as shown in the link http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615804-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/61025805 and using the example for the stage mgr20 solved the problem for me. Hope it helps everyone else! :) Edited November 23, 2011 by sketcher15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreSama3 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Dont use the 'additem/removeitem' code because you'll just get an error. Use the dropitem code and drop it on the ground and then pick it up again. Same happened to me, this works with ANY quest that is glitched because you picked up the item before the quest starts. "player.dropitem 0001AD17 1" Would be the code you'd want to use for Waters of Oblivion. (no quotation marks) Here's a wiki list of all the items listed so far if theres another quest item you need to drop/pickup again. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Item_Codes_(Skyrim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
