I'm trying to become Thane of Riften.... But I can't!

Here's what's up:

I've done the skooma quests up to the point where i have to go and clear out Cragslane Cavern. (I've actually already cleared this cavern before I even got to riften...) So I get there, I kill everyone and the game doesn't say "report back to

the Jarl" or anything... No one left to kill. I look around and there's nothing important. I go outside to see if I missed anyone. no one else -so i head back to the jarl and the dialogue option isn't there at all to say "i killed everyone-gimme

something for being awesome". Nothing at all.

I'm playing on ps3 btw... I've already tried loading an earlier save but it's not helping.

anyone think they know a solution?

I

Re-read the quest details and check the map while being in the cave?
Otherwise try e-mailing Bethesda and see if they have a solution.

Have you looked in the pockets of the bartender (in the cave)?

There is no bartender! just one dude outside, one dude inside near the entrance and then another dude in the back room. no wolves fighting anymore, no wolves in the cages... no people betting... Nothing. it's just screwed right up...

Bethesda hired some people just for dungeon design.... and that worked great.

now Bethesda REALLY needs to hire some people who's ONLY job is to find ALL the bugs and fix them for good.

Thanks for the help... It didn't actually help me but I did end up emailing bethesda about it like you said
