Mission Bug Fixes [SPOILERS]

[Varanus]

Edit: if you encounter a bug in a mission go here. All missions are listed with known bugs and fixes. Reading the rest of this post/thread is a waste of time.

___________________________________________________________________________

I have just had a very frustrating weekend playing Oblivion. Not only did I enounter three separate mission bugs but all my carefullly stored stuff vanished :cry:. I do not have internet at home so had to wait until I could find the answers. Fortunately I found the answer to one bug (main quest) but not the other two. Perhaps it would be useful if a sticky thread for mission bugs was created - it could be used to both report bugs and fixes. Something like:

 

Main Quest

1. Tutorial

2. Deliver the Amulet

3. Find the Heir/Breaking the Siege of Kvatch

4. Weynon Priory

5. The Path of Dawn

6. Dagon Shrine

7. Spies

8. Blood of the Deadra / Azura

9. Bruma Gate

10. Blood of the Divines [MQ09]

Bug

: The same undead blade appears twice (Valdemar is both the ghost in the prison and the hall of judgment) [MQ09 53 to 70]

Fix

: reported by

wildey

: Go to a savegame before you kill all four ghosts and then press tilde (the button left of 1) and type player.placeatme 000364bb and hit enter when you hit tilde again and go back to the game the fourth undead blade will appear in front of you kill him and he will go where he is supposed to. Then just kill the others that you need without killing the duplicate Valdemar in the judgement hall and presstoe-changeoh you're done.

11. Miscarcand

12. Allies for Bruma

13. Defense of Bruma

14. Paradise

14. Light the Dragonfires

 

Mages Guild

1. Cheydinhal [MG02Alter]

Bug

: Vidkun's body not in well [MG02Alter 20 to 30]

Fix

: not known

 

Thieves Guild

1. Boots of Springheel Jak [TG10Boots]

Bug

: see

thread

Fix

: see

post

 

Fighters Guild

 

Miscellaneous Quests

Cheydinhal

Corruption and Conscience [MS10]

Bug

: Aldos Othran will not attack guard [MS10 40 to 50]

Fix

: reported by

SlimyMarmot

: If he had dialogue with the guard but nothing happened after that, it happened to me too, and I found out Reneer's Guard Overhaul was the problem. The most straightforward way to complete the quest stage is is simply killing Aldos - bring up the console, click at him, type "kill" and press enter. You could also go through the quest with RGO disabled... supposing you even have it.

Question: to move past a stuck quest should will the following command work? player.setstage MQ02 10. E.g. to get past the main quest problem described below should I use the command "player.setstage MQ02 70"? EDIT: apparently it is not as simple as this, I tried and failed.

 

Full list of quest codes can be obtained from about 345,000 sites using a popular search engine near you.

 

Another question (unrelated to rest of post - I am getting my own topic off-topic, doh): I had read here somewhere that I could safely store all my stuff in guild halls (Mages or Fighters) after joining - this would appear to be not entirely correct as the stuff I had stored in cupboards and chests was gone later (due to game refreshing container contents).

 

- Is there anywhere that stuff can be safely stored?

- Do I need to just chuck stuff on the ground in the guild? (major pita)

- Is there a mod that creates safe containers in guilds? (I am aware of the bag of holding mod but that is too cheaty for my liking)

- I have heard that you can store stuff in purchased houses, are they safe from container refresh?

 

Apologies for all the questions and for not doing a proper search on this second question but I was posting anyway so no harm done.

Your Post calls for a little experimenting

 

As far as storage goes, Most containers that are "vanilla" ( unmodded ) have a respawn period of three-10 days, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF!.........Purchased houses, Those containers do not respawn, therefore they are safe to store things in.

 

As far as a an unoffical ( a mod ) home mod, or container for that fact, be sure to read the read me. Alot of mods that are specific about this, list which and which isnt safe to store stuff in.

 

like Magic tower for example ( i think that is the one ) it has chests that respawn something, ( cant remeber havent been there or read it in awhile ), and then it states also that there are storage containers that are safe.

 

As far as quest bugs, alot of people use the unofficial patch to fix those, but like before read the read me but also read the comments, as people also state other things there too.

 

And then you can always do a search here for quest bugs, and find answers also, because 90% of the issues have been posted here already.

 

Good luck.

Thanks for reply - I have all the latest official and unofficial patches - they do not stop quests going buggy it would seem.

 

I agree with searching in principal and spent several hourse doing so. Unfortunately there is so much spam here that searching is both time consuming and possibly unrewarding - I am not having a go at anyone, this is a great forum and very helpful, but there does seem to be a lot of unnecessary thread creation.

 

Anyway, I will try the fix I found and report whether it works
