moho25 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) So, I know this issue has been reported on various sites around the web. The basic problem is that if you purchase Honeyside + decoration packages (rather than just the house alone) from the Jarl's "assistant" before talking to the Jarl, the quest to become the Thane becomes bugged. You are unable to get the title or the housecarl. My problem is that I had my mind on 12 things at once in the game, and didn't catch it right away when it glitched. To revert to a previous save and get my title and housecarl for Riften, I'll have to lose 8-10 hours of gameplay. I have over 235 saves so far, but of course on THAT day I didn't do too many saves. Wtf. My hope was that Bethesda would fix such a glaringly obvious bug in the patch today, but...no such luck. The dagger and temporary fix that are suggested on certain sites aren't really the best options in my book. If there's anywhere you want the actual Thane title, it's in Riften, as you are doing quests for the Thieves Guild. And, I want my housecarl, too! At any rate, does anyone know if/when Bethesda plans on fixing this? Is it something that would be easily fixed by mod writers once the kit is released? Would you revert, or just keep going...and hoping? Thanks. Edited December 1, 2011 by moho25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corban122 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm in the same boat. I didn't know about the bug until it was to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyrika Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) I am also stuck on this quest, and found this on the UESP wiki: "For those getting stuck at the end, setstage FreeformRiftenThane 200 seems to do the trick. You become thane of Riften, get a levelled weapon and can now find Iona in Honeyside. If others can confirm this works for them, please add the fix to the main page." I haven't tried it myself yet, but some people on the page reported that it works. Edited December 1, 2011 by Eyrika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moho25 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 setstage FreeformRiftenThane 200 This. Thank you so much for this. It worked like a charm and saved me a bunch of time. I'm glad I decided not to play last night, and post this thread instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
