This is my first post and i apologise to all in advance if this has already been reported, but i have scouring the forums and google and can only find a couple of vague references to the issue.
This glitch occurs after you take the quest Aftershock from Tolfdir at the College of Winterhold after obtaining the Staff of Magnus.
The problem lies upon reaching the quest destination, all i have is a quest marker pointing at the ground, there is no rift to seal, no magical anomalies to destroy and therefore the quest cannot be completed.
I am unable to verify if this occurred post patch as i was not that far along in the game when the patch was released.
Have any other PS3 users, or any experienced this bug? Anyone know a workaround? I have tried fast travelling back and forth, loading old saves, using my chracter to 'punch' the quest marker, used Staff of Magnus on quest marker, hell, i even took off all my apparel and ran around the quest marker naked, what do i have to do here to finish this quest or at least move it along to the next step?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
