Mission fault

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:08 pm

Hi all new to the forum so i hope this is in the correct section.

I decided to go for a wonder and came across the bloodworm helm i picked it up and it said "to take it to Travern". When i got to Travern he asks if i have found the Helm or the amulet but will not except the helm from me and keeps repeating himself. I have found the location of the amulet but the door is locked and cannot be opened without the key. Now the bloke i found dead with the helm i believe starts this quest who is dead so i have no active quest to start.
Any ideas.

If you are on a console, it is bad news, you need to reload an earlier save. If on pc, try http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:A_Plot_Revealed#bugs

It's a known bug, if you go pick up that helm before you're given the quest to do so.

If you're on PC, you need the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, which fixes it. Otherwise, your only choice is to reload an earlier save, because this will mess up the Mages Guild questline.

Edit: The ninja strikes again! :)

Bit late to say this now, but you should always have a couple of saves. I have one at my house in Bruma, and one in the field at all times. If something major goes wrong, it's only ever a few hours back to the town save. Sounds like commiserations and this are required

Lol the thought of starting again is daunting i don't know if i could bring myself to do it nothing to say i wouldn't find another glitch and be in the same boat. I could just carry on without the mages guild my last mission was the Mages guild in Bruma was attacked. I expect i would miss loads though.

Bloody game
