Well, as you may know, the first time you visit Solitude, you witness
I think I spelt that right.

Anyway, if you loot his body and take the amulet of Talos before talking to the little girl, Svari and asking about her uncle, the amulet becomes stacked with any others you may have and because it is a quest item, you cannot drop them. You will have to go to the girl's mother and convince her to go back to the temple. However, talking to the mother causes the amulets to no longer be know as quest items and you can get rid of them. The problem is, the mother does not give you your reward and the quest does not complete. The dialogue associated with the quest is gone forever and nothing can be done.

The only way to complete the quest is by killing the mother before talking to her and causing it to fail.

So, basically, to anyone who hasn't yet been to Solitude - TALK TO SVARI FIRST!

Just bringing this to the attention of Bethesda, whom I hope are going to include a fix for this in the post-christmas patches. Oh and yes, I know this should go to the bugs section of the forum but I wanted to get opinions on this and warn people.

On a brighter note, I'm level 32 and loving Skyrim.

Had the same problem, so many quests in my misc folder, I don't really notice it not being complete.

Inference: "dont loot every dead body you see especially if he was executed like you were once about to" sympathise!

Ugh... so that's the explanation for my stake of Talos amulets. Wonderful. -_-

Ahh! Dang! Too late, I already took the amulet before talking to Svari... hopefully I didn't sell the amulet yet... *runs to check*

I have to say though, the quest was very mundane and a little pointless. I just can't see why Bethesda would assume that we would talk to an insignificant girl that we don't even know is related to the quest when a massive event is going on...

EDIT - Oh and apparently the original amulet from THE MAN ( I refuse to ruin this for somebody even though most of you have already witnessed it) was unique and has to be given to the mother so any stacked amulets bugger up the quest.

It's actually a fairly common bug, especially with radiant Quests which can send you to random dungeons to collect random items. If you already have the item you can't complete the quest, nor can you ever get rid of the item. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be an annoyance more than a nuisance.

Ah damn it... *hauls around 58789375 Talos Amu's i cant get rid of*

It's nothing game breaking but I expect it's extremely simple to sort out... hopefully.

If you're playing on PC the command console can solve it though... lucky people! I play on PS3 but at 8mb thankfully never experienced the massive lag.

Perhaps I should post this in the bugs section... this forum is so darn busy I have 205 views in a minute! INSANE! Topics are dropping like fly's! How do we expect Bethesda to notice these topics with this much activity?

On a side note - How many Talos amulets have you collected so far? The Thalmor should pay us for our services! I have an amazing 2!

Once the CK comes out it should be an easy fix to just rename Roggvir's amulet

Easy for you to say! What about the console players?

This is not a bug. It's a Talos curse and trap.

I advise you to stop worshiping Talos and proudly wearing his items, or more bad things will happen.


If you go to the Temple of Talos in a city under Imperial control you risk being imprisoned and forced to do hard labor.
Worshiping Talos is asking for trouble. Find something better to do.
