groupoffriends Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've started quite a few games, so I've come across a number of mercenaries who had heard of "some trouble nearby" and were heading there to investigate. Sometimes they've said they marked it on my map, but so far I've never been able to see where. Was it this place or that? Is that a new place, or not? Or did he mark a place that's already marked? I met one near Whiterun and decided to follow him. I tracked him *all* the way across Skyrim and saved frequently in case I lost him while I was killing something or picking alchemy ingredients. Then he got killed by a giant. Every reload I did ended with him going back to the same giant and getting killed again. The spot that they mark on your map, or should mark, should have a quest arrow, and be clearly stated in the list of the other quests you've taken on. Otherwise you can never find the trouble nearby.

Georgiegril Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So, the mercenaries don't create a quest. It's like when the guards tell you "if you headed south, watch out for...blahblah" If the location is not there already, it will appear on your map, in black. You may not be able to locate it easily if you have a bunch of locations already on your map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
