sirjafar Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I can't seem to get rid of the hostile guards in the Talos temple in Markarth. They're still hostile and give me the two options to either give up or fight. Both options result in fighting, and when I defend myself apparently I gain a bounty and then can't get out of the situation. Its really annoying. Is there a fix for this? I've already completed the Talos Conspiracy quest, so this shouldn't be occurring. The only solution I have for this situation is to never enter the temple. Does anyone have any alternatives?

Nomad42 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Choose the fight option, run out of the city, wait a little a bit and then renter. They should give you similar dialogue. Go to Jail and serve your time. Edited December 19, 2011 by Nomad42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8films Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Firstly, the OP's mistaken. It isn't "The Talos Conspiracy," it's "The Forsworn Conspiracy." The guy in the temple, who was your contact throughout the Conspiracy quest, is killed by the guards that are hostile. If he isn't dead, then it's just a minor glitch. Either way, getting arrested starts a new quest, "No One Escapes From <whatever the mine name is>." Or something similar - I've only done the quest once. After arrest, you don't go to the "dungeon" like in other holds, it starts the new quest for the Escape. Which has some pretty serious challenges in it. And, at the end, you're back to 'normal' .... however you define that in your own skin. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankas Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Happened to me too, I finally had to kill them and then pay off the 1000 fine. Problem solved ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt70ss454 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am stuck with the same loop. Can't do anything but submit or fight. Tried to submit but the guard just loops back to Halt submit or fight no matter which choice I make. Wouldn't matter but subsequent quests require you to go back and the same thing happens all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankas Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Guess I should have been more clear, I put arrows in the guards while sneaking at the top of the stairs (I guess any ranged attack should work) I got the bounty because there are two guards. To pay the bounty, I have found that if I run from guard to guard while sheathing and unsheathing my sword with one hand and healing with the other, I eventually get a guard that will let me pay off the bounty. I believe I ended up all the way out past the stables on this one before the guard let me pay. BTW, the guards are now gone but their shields are laying on the floor in front of the shrine....... LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjafar Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Apparently Markarth is one of the most bugged city is Skyrim, don't know why Bethesda doesn't patch that damn place. Someone else in another topic suggested the idea of having quests that relate to the rehabilitation of Markarth after the civil war. @Xl8r, ty for the correction, but I was too lazy to double check the quest's name, I know that the people who beat it should know what I'm talking about, and I see that in this thread.

abaris Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Happened to me too, I finally had to kill them and then pay off the 1000 fine. Problem solved ;) You can't kill them all. There's one immortal legate with them. A fact that you don't know when being confronted by the guards. I tried to fight them and ended up loading previous safe, since not only Lydia died in the process, but that darn legate followed my halfway across the map.
