When this mod come out, I just finished that Quest, and according to Autor, I wait and see I have that problem b4 activating. For me, I am all-right with the quest for now. But you never know. Like, the game refresh for some reason, if you don't have the play save "might get some problem (not big, but will take time)". So, I am sill thinking to activate the mod. I always did for Daedric artifact. On the play, fast travel to avoid cell confusion and correct time. After getting the ring must speak to all the people , and sit at the chair closest to the Alter. The Elf lady must talk to me when I point with cross-hair b4 I leave.
This is really, really cool. My grandfather used to tell me some pretty horrific stories about stuff like this happening in the uncivilized areas of the country. Recondite places where you could sometimes see strange people wandering in the night, and some of their more brutal practices. Those stories have stuck with me to this day, so this quest always had a different weight to it. Especially when you look at the unusual facial features from the butcher in markath. Because this was a telling sign, according to him. Some of these people usually looked skewed and weird. Pretty disturbing stuff. This quest and the one from that town hackdirt in oblivion. A reminder of my own shame, I believe.
I know you're not the one making these scripts, but I have noticed another issue with this quest.
If you select the option to spare her when you meet her (its not too apparent which of the dialogue options this is), and then kill her afterwards the quest will fail and never continue. You have to kill her either when you meet her, or (I've heard) once you've brought that man to her. Doing so in between these two stages will cause the quest to just end. Also, if you hit her while she's running away, she'll still be hostile to you at the cave entrance, making it impossible for you to progress the quest.
Yeah, if you don't make the right choices this questline can be almost as glitchy as Blood on the Ice. On a side note, I still don't get why nobody's fixed that quest. I still find it stupid having to sell a piece of evidence to someone BEFORE I show it to the authorities. Maybe ferrari will finally address this and make the way the quest plays out actually made sense? Oh, and it wasn't until I read up on the quest on the UESP that I found out that the quest isn't supposed to end after Wuunferth is apprehended. For years I naively thought that was how the quest was supposed to play out! Of course, this is more a writing issue than a true glitch, but still. I wonder if Jayserpa will ever address this? Seems more up his alley given all the quest overhauls he's doing lately.
