Thane of Riften Bug?


Astaril

Recommended Posts

did you help 5 people of riften? Did you buy a house there yet?

yes I have done all this, I am aware this is a known bug just wondered if anyone knew of a clever way to fix it as I have done a lot in the game since buying my house. :(

 

Apparantly if you buy the house and then visit it first rather than talk to the Yarl this bug occurs, so if anyone has any knowledge of this one it would be helpful. Or am I stuffed?

"setstage 65bdf 200" will add the thane weapon to your inventory, spawn the housecarl in honeyside and will give the option to say you are thane when a guard in riften tries to arrest you. Might try other stages (10,15,20) in case one of those is bugged. Edited by STSG

Am really glad I decided to stroll through the spoilers forum. I had already completed the Civil War quest line and to my surprise the Jarl was now Maven Black Briar and though she would let be buy a house she would not offer being a Thane ..so I used setstage FreeformRifrenThane 10 and all went as it should. Though one note: I had already completed the Skooma Quest Line and helped a couple other people before I used the console for the Thane position, the usual housecarl was waiting upon my entry into Honeyside

Thanks all, this is great! :thumbsup:

Shame Bethesda haven't fixed this in their last patch, but this will definitley be better than losing all my progress since buying that infernal house. :wallbash:

Pretty much what happened to me. I visited Riften before, did a lot of work for the Thieves Guild but never really talked to the Leila Law-Given. Then I did the meeting at High Hrothgar and Maven became the new Jarl. I decided I should go check her out. I was instantly able to purchase a house (Honeyside that is), which surprised me since I had to work my a*s off to become a Thane of Winterhold and had to kill a dragon for Whiterun. I did a few more quests for Maven and she brought up the Thane subject. Right when I thought she'd give me the title and all, I was left with a "speak to the Jarl of Riften" misc quest. I suspect the game wants me to talk to Leila Law-Given but when I approached her, I could not start a conversation with her. Same happens with Maven. Does Leila claim her Jarl title back or is this change permanent? Maybe if she takes the position back, I'll be able to talk to her and debug the situation, therefore doing what has to be done for my Thane title. And to think that all this started because I didn't like that empty room in Honeyside, housecarl's room apparently..
