I have a problem, I have a quest I can’t finish, i need to talk to a smith, but he is dead, killed before when a dragon was attacking the town.
Now many hours later I have a quest that I need to talk to him and I see the pointer but he is dead an he lies on de floor.

So is this bad luck for me…. Ore is there a way to be able to do the mission anyway.

there is a way if you play on the PC

bad luck for me, I play on teh XBox ..... :nope:

Then reload old save, restart the game completely with a new character or continue without finishing the quest.

I guess the game failed to acknowledge his death as a quest failure. I would recommend moving on an assuming you failed it. Maybe a future patch will fix it for you.

I have 100+ hours in the game, so I have to skip this quest...

tnx for the reply guys...

if he had a wife/relative the radiant AI may have given his quest stuff to them snd just not updated the pointer. also did he have quest stuff for you to loot on him? maybe you can complete quest that way.

Seems Bethesda screwed up with him. It seems you cant kill any Quest related NPC to very bad luck the one they didnt cover got killed lol.

Is it a Misc quest? If so it's no problem, bu the game alreadu got trouble with the amount of quests available. One day I looked around the net for a bug fix on this quest, and I found out that it is the only quest started in that town. Thank you Bethesda, Windhelm got one quest that isn't part of a questline. :facepalm:

But the quests that are in this game are generally very good. A tad bit short, but very good.
