    ok I'm getting frustrated with this game more and more having put in 164+ hours into it

    cannot complete ''Blood On The Ice'' one of the characters i have to talk to won't bring up the dialogue line to continue/advance through the next part, so i cannot get the trophy or complete this.

    also

    i cannot complete ''Reunification Of Skyrim'' which i 'think' is part of main storyline!!! it says i have to 'regain the pale' when i get to the imperial camp a grey arrow hovers over the captain inside the tent but no text dialogue line comes up and nothing happens, can't do anything to advance the quest

    also having spent hours upon hours trawling through caves and places i have tracked down all but 1 dragon priest mask, i want to get the last mask when you get all 8 to place on the wall at Labyrinthian, and having got stuck i googled where this last one was.. low and behold, guess where the last mask is... in 'skulfdafn' and i can't go back there. :mad:


    just wondering if anyone else having problems with quests you can't complete and any other stuff ruining the game for you?

    I'm having a similar problem, on the quest to go to Sky Haven temple with Esbren and Delphine.
    I had already cleared the place before the quest was given to me and now the npc's won't budge past the first obstacle even though it's already done.

    There are a load of bugs like this, it's madness especially since this is part of the main quest, it means I've no way of finishing the game now!

    oh yeah i remember that quest, it is part of the main storyline alright. that really is annoying man. what can you do!?! i have thought about starting the game all over again from scratch but there is no point, id almost certainly run into a bug elsewhere ruining the game on me, again.

    The thieves guild questline got really bad for me. i had to do a lot of console work to finish it but that led to more problems so I started a new game in the end.

    Unfortunately I'm on PS3 so I can't even do any messing around on the console.

    I was saving the main storyline for as long as I could hold off, 160 hours later when I finally get around to doing it I find myself so frustrated that the game is in the box not to be played for a couple of years just coz of a stupid glitch that shouldn't be there in the first place.

    At least in the Morrowind days if you did something too soon or anything you got a message saying that the action effects such and such meaning you can reload a save then and there and not 100 hours later.

    That be life, the good people at Bethesda were good enough to give us dragons at least.

    Im on the xbox and I had a main mission quest (which I posted about here) I have a number of side missions that cannot be cleared that involve speaking to a person or collecting a bounty from someone. Skald seems to be one of the peeps.

    The thing is that the relevent people are alive and well but the dialogue options never appear. Also when you click on the mission to see its location, the game wont do it. Very annoying.

    I've a bug on the xbox. I can't go forward in the companions quest because i cleared a bandit camp before starting the quest and now i have to clear it again and the objective marker is over a bandit chief who i've already killed.

    I've tried resurrecting the bandit with staffs and spells and shít but it won't work.
    I really wanted to do the companion quest and I'm not loading the game because i cleared that camp 2 or 3 months ago and I've completed other quests in that time.

    On the companions questline, there is one half way through , to find and kill an escaped prisoner.
    I left this for a while to do others and not that quest in on the bottom half of the quests menu (finished quests) but still has a clear diamon beside the quest name as opposed to a filled in one for a completed quest.
    Now I can't continue with the companions quests even though Vikras(?) says I still have a job to do.

    What part is it? try pushing them towards the area you need them to be in or shouting them towards it. Maybe try pushing them off the ledge? Try attacking and then yielding if its possible...

    This might help for the Reunification questline
