How to clear bugged quests?!

Recommended Posts

im playing on the PC version (with a controller and some mods that might have caused some of the issues and might not).

 

i have a few broken quests on my quest log.

i cant remember them all but here's what i DO remember:

 

1) retrieve a few items. one of which is a briar heart. i have 7 briar hearts but the quest marker stays on the briarheart corpse even when i took its heart.

2) kill the bandit leader at rift watchtower. the quests marker doesnt show on the map and in the watchtower itself there is no leader. when i click X to make the map center on the quest location it ddoesnt do that.

3) help the people of the cant-remember-the-places'-name. i have helped all 5 poeple and bought a house on solitude and im the thane already yet the "help these people" line remains in the quest log.

 

my biggest issue is with quest 1 and 2 since as long as i cant finish them i cant progress through the no.1 quest and as long as i dont clear the bandit leader i cant get any more generic quests from the jarl in riften. and i like those.

 

SO, is there any way, any thing i can type in the console, to make a quest progress somehow?!?

or trick the game to believe i solved that quest so the jarl can give me other quests instead?

 

thanks

thanks a LOT. this almost helped me completely.

 

i have another broken quest - helping the citizens of haapingar. i have a status of 5\5 (meaning i helped them all) but i dont get a quest completed.

 

in this page:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Thane_of_Haafingar

it seems like it's a known bug and the page suggests a solution, saying:

"If you complete all five favors before being given the quest to do so. The quest will not update correctly, leaving you with a quest entry "Assist the People of Haafingar 5/5" To fix this on PC open the console and select a NPC in Solitude and enter the console command "setRelationshipRank player 2" This should update the quest 6/5 and change its status to complete."

 

i tried this but nothing worked. i tried bringing the console up when close to a few NPCs (citizens or guards in random) and clicking on them with the mouse and typing setRelationshipRank player 2 and ENTER. the same like i typed appeared on the console without any errors yet nothing changed in the quest list :(

will i ever become thane in riften?

is there a solution for this?

 

p.s. - i managed to solve my 3 other quests using this list so anonDraco - you are a life saver.... if to be melodramatic.

I have a quest bug at the college of winterhold. Ancano won't die, and Tolfdir won't talk to him

 

I found suggestions for a solution here where it lists NPC IDs: I looked up Ancano and the related quest.

there is a console command resetquest mg08e stage where stage is the stage number. use the Wiki above for your quest to get the number.
