Quest: The Blessings of Nature

Type: Side-quest

Description: The dead Gildergreen tree in Whiterun should be erased and replaced with a sapling, if you choose the "sapling" option. Instead, the dead tree model remains, and the sapling is placed inside of the dead Gildergreen. You can actually see parts of the sapling sticking out of the dead tree's trunk.

How to replicate: Just do the quest and choose to take the sapling back to Whiterun instead of tree sap.

Stats: I've tested with multiple characters and It doesn't seem to matter. It appears to just be a general bug with the quest.

Other: Here's a link to a screenshot of what the sapling choice should lead to, as seen in the PC version by deleting the dead tree model with console commands after returning the sapling. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2904/screenshot81h.jpg

*Quest: Tending the Flames
*Type: Bard's College / Misc Obj.
*Description: When you find Svankir's ghost and his corpse on the ground, the book 'King Olaf's Verse' is not to be found. The big problem with this bug is that you cannot leave Dead Man's Respite once you enter so I'm pretty much trapped in the dungeon with no saves to get out.
How To Replicate: I've been seeing if other people have the same problem, and it seems it's just chance whether or not the book will be there. Some people found it reappearing after reloading a save and clearing out the Draugrs there and it would respawn, but people who don't have earlier saves are pretty much out of luck.

Quest: The Cure for Madness

Type: Dark Brotherhood

Description: Dark Brotherhood will not load

How To Replicate: Choose not to kill Cicero, return to Dk. Brotherhood, cannot enter. This bug keeps the area from loading. The bug started manifesting as blank geometry when entering the Pine Forest Brotherhood, was able to reload to a point where I could at least get the quest and leave the Sanctuary, and upon completion the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary was the black screen with no music, smoke, rotating sword etc. Went back to a save that was still loading properly, put away all extra items in storage at home, and the blank geometry glitch went away. Then I completed the mission to kill or not kill Cicero, and again cannot return to the Dark Brotherhood.

Stats: lv 67, 370+hr, 19MB

Other: Chose to kill Cicero, does not resolve. Having my fortune told does not resolve.

*Quest: Elder Knowledge
*Type: Main Quest
*Description: NPC Urag gro-Shuv will not offer quest advice and does not give the two books needed to progress, Quest marker correctly showing above him tho
How To Replicate: Unsure, I've just carried on from completing 'The Throat of the Workld;, I have a feeling tho that it might be related to the fact I had discovered Septimus Signus earlier and started the quest 'Discerning the Transmudane' before stating this quest
Stats:l Lv31 about 80hrs playtime
Other: Main Line quest so finding it a bit of a probelm,

*Quest:Whispers in the Dark

*Description:A bug occurs after the coffin scene where you are told to speak to Nazir to find more contacts and there will be no option. Preventing you to continue the Dark Brotherhood quest line. Perhaps because I had already completed a few side contracts?

*Quest: Whispers in the Dark
*Type: Dark Brotherhood, Quest
*Description: After Astrid tells me to go to Nazir and do a few more contracts, Nazir gives me three dialog options, none of which are to accept any new contracts. I have gone back several times, saved and quite, still, nothing shows to continue on with my questions in the dark brotherhood.

Did you find a way to fix it? I saw how long ago you posted this and it doesn't seem like they're fixing this in the new update either. This just happened to me and I'm so annoyed, I really wanted to complete the dark brotherhood quest-line...

*Quest: The Forsworn Conspiracy
*Type: Sidequest
*Description: When you get back to the shrine to meet Eltrys, he is dead and there are guards there. However, the marker is over the air near the left stone column and you cannot continue the quest. The guards treat you like you aren't supposed to be there and will fight you if you don't leave, but will not arrest you as they are supposed to to continue the sidequest.
How To Replicate: Unable to replicate, as I've only played it once - but this is common. Possibly must go back to Eltrys between each subquest line in order to stop this from happening initially.

*Type: Miscellaneous
*Description: I sold my Theive's Guild armor set when I received it because I don't wear light armor and then when I got this quest I could never complete it and also I cannot get the achievment for restoring the Thieve's Guild to its former glory because of this glitch.
How To Replicate: Sell your Thieve's Guild armor set.

*Quest: Collect Bounty From Skald
*Type: Miscellaneous
*Description: I picked up a bounty to kill a dragon in the Dawnstar inn, I killed the dragon and then went to turn in the completed quest. I talked to Skald and he gave me the reward money but the quest never left my log, so I picked up another bounty from the inn and killed another dragon and went to turn it in hoping that it would get rid of the quest in my log but instead it did the same thing, gave me the reward money but didn't take the quest out of my log. Now I have two quests in my log saying " Collect bounty from skald" that I cannot complete.
How To Replicate: Pick up a bounty from the Dawnstar inn.

"Campanions Guild"- Hired Muscle= It tells me to intimidate Sven which was killed by a dragon before I joined the guild and it always leads me to his dead body and I can't do anything for the Companions and I've been complaining about this since Skyrim came out but Bethesda are being jackasses and won't even acknowledge this.

Quest: Invocation of Azura
Type: Misc. Obj.
Description: The librarian at College of Winterhold asks you to get the Invocation of Azura book from High Gate Ruins, I had previously looted the book though but the game won't recognize I've already got it so now it is stuck in my inventory and I can't finish the quest.

ALSO: The word wall for Storm Call that you come across after you complete the dungeon Forelhost doesn't seem to work for me. I hear the chanting but when I approach the wall the word is not learned. I've learned the two other words from the wall so it's kind of frustrating I can't master the word now. I tried reloading and restarting my 360 and didn't seem to work.

I have the exact same problem. Looking to find a workaround but came up dry so far. I don't even know if Bethesda has tried to push a patch yet on the 360 but will be anxiously awaiting it.

Quest: Help the people of Falkreath (2/3)
Type: Misc
Description: I simply cannot seem to find another person to help in order to clear this quest. During my travels, I already visited Falkreath, and in that time 4 dragons attacked (Not at the same time). Rulia died as well as Mathis, so I cannot sell Mathais cabbage to help him, I can't help the wood-chopping fellow with the ashes quests for the Rulia guy, and no one picks up my stupid armor and weapons that I drop (Note: Does it have to be certain types of weapons?) I helped Lod, I completed the Hircine quest and the Vampire quest, and I aided Hera at the Mill via splitting wood.
How To Replicate: Not too sure how one would replicate this...have a dragon come and %^& shiz up?
Stats: Level 50 Redguard warrior BAMF!
Other: Love this topics' organization.

Quest Name:
Loud And Clear

Type:
Thieves Guild

Description:
When I started the quest I managed to follow him to the Ragged Flagon Cistern, but before he managed to introduce me to Mercer, Thalmor people attacked and Brynjolf got engaged in the battle. When it was all over he returned back to his chair in the Ragged Flagon and when you are trying to approach him he simply answers "hmm?" everytime. This also prevents further advancement in The Dark Brotherhood Forever quest.

How to Replicate:
I had just been to the Thalmor Ambassy and did the quest over there. When I continued with THAT quest I was supposed to look for Esbern (who the Thalmor also were intrested in) which I may have been the reason Thalmor attacked me in the Cistern. This abrupted Brynjolf's walk to Mercer.
