partlow11 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I know I've seen this discussed somewhere else, BUT, when I go to pick up the dwemer (??) puzzle box, I can't.....(Sorry I forgot how to spell it). I'm playing on XBox, GoTY edition. Did I forget to do something or is this a bug??? Basically how can I move on without starting a new game, I'm pretty far to start a new one. Thanks!! :ranting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmac Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Do you have the activation message when your indicator goes over the box? If not, then you're probably not looking at the box. You found it in the same room as Boss Crito, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajKrAzAm Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Can you pick up any other objects? -MajkrAzAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partlow11 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 The "item box" comes up, I look directly at it, but when i click on it to pick it up....Nothing!! I grabbed a few other things in the room, but the game won't let me pick up the box!!!! I've already done this before with another character, but this time, NOPE!!!

cmac Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I've never heard of a problem like that before. My suggestion: 1) Destroy your XBox version of Morrowind.2) Buy the game for PC3) Live a much happier life thereafter. or, if that's too much, (4) try talking to Hasphat Antabolis. If you got the journal entry, perhaps the bug will just bypass the lack of the item. If it doesn't, there's not much you can do. You're on Xbox, so there aren't any drivers, console commands, or patches to worry about. I'd try emailing Bethesda if #4 doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 like what cmac said, talk to the guy in the fighters guild, if you dont talk to him and try to pick it up to get a head start, it just sits there like a vegetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partlow11 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot. I haven't talked to him yet I thought I knew what I was doing). If my computer wasn't ancient, I'd toss the xbox version. I've been tempted to buy a new one just to play the pc version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yeah, I think you used to be able to pick up the puzzle box prior to the main quest, but I noticed recently that I can't pick it up until I start the main quest and talk to Hasphat. (And this is on the PC version, so it's not just XBox). I guess Bethesda decided to add it in a patch as a precaution :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg079 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) i'm having this problem right now, i have taken the quest, and the puzzle box won't let me grab it. honestly, i don't get it, how can the game be so popular if it doesn't work?and sorry about the necropost Edited June 22, 2013 by greg079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this, though, I have played Morrowind and Oblivion on the console and it is much buggier than the PC versions. Also, there is no advantage of mods or patches. Not that I'm saying you should get PC, just making an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
