:wallbash: I think I screwed up and did the Vampire Hunter quest in Skingrad all backwards.

I spoke to the Vampire Hunter, "Elidor" and told him that the vamps were all hanging out in "Bloodcrust Cavern". Instead of letting them go there and do the job, I went there and killed them all myself.

On returning to Skingrad I find the Vampire Hunters still hanging around looking for vamps to slay. All talking options are done with them all and it can't piss them off enough to want to attack me.

I tried killing them in their sleep (stealth 100 + invisibility) but keep getting jumped on by the guards each time I killed one of them.

Is there a script I can type in to get the correct speech options up maybe?

I did what you did and I think its correct, and I didn't think it was a glitch. Try speaking to the leader of the clan (I think he's the wood elf) and he decides he and his buddies should leave. Then you can continue with the quest.

I've tried that several times now. Apparently (according to a walkthru I read) if I show him the Vampire Dust I collected, they'll leave town, but there no new conversation points showing to allow me to do so. I don't really want to kill them and get a mark against my spotless infamy record ;o)

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Are you sure you killed every vampire in the cavern ? They are marked and you should get a quest journal entry when you're done with them.

 

However, there is always the painful "go back to an earlier save" solution...

Yeah, I got the message telling me that "all I had to do now was deal with the Vampire Hunters". Restoring from a previous save would be extreeeeeemely painful, but not out of the question. I haven't tried "Frenzy" as yet. Will give it a go and see what happens. Other wise, ???

Suggestions:- try and see if Count Hassildor will accept them as gone. In fact I have found they never do go, even though they say they will, so perhaps it is finished.

 

If that doesn't work, the vampire hunters sleep in The Two Sisters Lodge I believe. If you break into their rooms and kill them you should avoid getting a bounty, although you will get a visit from the Dark Brotherhood.

 

Failing that you can always advance the quest using the console. But this quest has several bugs and I'd only do that as a last resort.

Treating "Advancing the quest using the console" and "Console-killing the vampire hunters" means it wouldn't cause much trouble at all, I think.

 

Ok, just tried to talk to the Count, but it doesn't look like you can unless he wants to see you.

I've done the Dark Brotherhood thing before and don't really want to go through that again.

How do I go about console killing the Vampire Hunters?

I'd like to try it.

Open up the console using the ~ key, with the vampire hunter in sight. With the console open, click the hunter. If it works, his name and Form ID should appear at the top of the screen. If it does, just type in "kill", and down he goes. You might want to save beforehand in case the game requires you to kill them, in which case type "kill player" instead.
