mothermoy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 For anyone that wants to know how to delete a quest here's what I did to delete the Talk to Aventus Aretino one. It's a wordy explanation but, well, that's the way I explain things... FIRST: I had to get the Quest ID - since the RefID shown at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Aventus_Aretino didn't work with any command I tried. To find the Quest ID I used the command: ShowQuestTargets Some of the info it returned was kind of cryptic but two things allowed me to find the ID I needed fairly easily: 1) I had only five active quests2) I knew that the Aventus Aretino one was a prelude to joining the Dark Brotherhood - so when I saw Current Quest: DB01Objective I figured that was it. Other Quests listed were: Current Quest: dunGauldersonQST - not too crypticCurrent Quest: CW00A - crypticCurrent Quest: MQ201 - crypticCurrent Quest: CW00B - cryptic I figure, since the two remaining Miscellaneous Quests are to Join the Imperial Legion and Join the Stormcloak Rebellion, the two IDs starting with CW00 are for those quests. The one remaining ID must be for Diplomatic Immunity - which makes sense since it's part of the Main Quest and that ID starts with MQ! (I so smart!) Note that you can scroll the list up/down with the PageUp/PageDown keys. SECOND: Once I had the ID I was set to use the SetStage command - almost. Entering SetStage 0 didn't do anything so I had to find out what the stages were. Player.sqs DB01Objective returned the following: Stage 0: 0Stage 10: 1Stage 200: 0Stage 255: 0 By the way GetStage DB01Objective, a command I first tried, returned: GetStage >> 10.00 That info didn't help but you can see that the setting of 1 listed for Stage 10, gotten with the Player.sqs command, must mean that that stage is active. THIRD: Now armed with all the proper info it would be understandable if you figured that the number I needed was 255 - being that that's the last stage - but it wasn't. For some reason 200 was the number that worked. I typed: SetStage DB01Objective 200 and immediately heard that tiny drum roll we hear when we complete a quest stage - and the text "Completed: Talk to Aventus Aretino" was displayed. Checking the journal afterward showed... nothing! I'd expected to see the next step, involving heading to Riften, but the quest was gone! http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/smile.gif An added bonus is that it doesn't even show in the list of completed quests. It's as though I never had it! http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/biggrin.gif To sum up I typed: ShowQuestTargets and figured out which ID was probably the one I needed Player.sqs DB01Objective showed me all the stages - and which was active SetStage DB01Objective 200 was then entered - trying first DB01Objective 255 (no result) and then it (happy ending!) I hope this helps someone. Four years later and this is the Post that just keeps on giving. Had a hooooorrriterribad quest i wanted to boot, and this did it! thank you so much!

MrBucketLikesMods Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, If this question has been asked - and it probably has - I could not (easily) find a thread about it. Can quests I don't want to do be deleted with some console command? I've a miscellaneous quest that involves murder and I don't want to do it with this character. And I don't want to murder the person offering the job to avoid committing the murder - cause that would be murder. (Bandits are fair game though). I doubt it matters but the quest is called Aventus Aretino. Thanks for reading this. Yes they can.Just use this command in the console:--SetObjectiveCompleted "QuestID" "Stage" 0--To find the quest ID you should just find it here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:QuestAnd replace it with "QuestID" The Stage are the "objectives" of the quest.To find out which stage your on you should type this command in the console:--GetStage "QuestID"--And that's it.So the command should look something like this at the end (Im using the Unbound quest for the example):--SetObjectiveCompleted MQ101 150 0--Well, hope this helps.
