*Quest: Tending the Flames
*Type: Bard's College
*Description:
1. The rings on the Ruby Red Claw door won't activate. A bit of a big deal, because at that point in the quest you can't backtrack through a different loading door in order to fix it.
2. The rings on the claw door do activate, however the game will not accept the correct combination.
3. Did not receive the quest reward "Gift of Gab". Or, if I did, it isn't showing up in active effects.
Other: #2 MAY have been caused by activating more than one ring at once.

Quest: rescue from fort Neugrad
type: liberation of skyrim
description: My current objective is report back to Ralof after you take the fort but he just says talos guide you
and other stormcloak sayings.
How to replicate: I don't know what it could be.It might be because I charged in without talking to them outside the fort and
now I can't talk to him. Or it could be because I went back to my house without talking to him
after I took the fort.
Stats: lvl 26 imperial

Quest: Horn of Jurgen Windcaller
Type: Main
Description: Have to meet "a friend" at Riverwood inn and rent a room after discovering a note in place of the horn. Unfortunately the inn owner Delphine(sp?) is not there. She is in fact stuck on the right side of the river between Riverwood and Whiterun. When I follow the quest arrow to her and try to speak with her, she simply says "hmm?" and doesn't move. This is preventing me from continuing through the main quest.

How to Replicate: Appeared to happen randomly since other posters have not mentioned the issue.

Stats: Level 17 or 18. I don't have the exact details since I'm not by my xbox. Played for about 18 hours now.

Other info: Delphine appears to have already been stuck there before I picked up the note in the dungeon where the horn should have been.

*Type: Misc
*Description: I have Finn's Lute, Pantea's Flue and Rjorn's Drum, I have handed the Lute and Drum in, had the rewards but the items haven't been removed from my inventory and when I talk to the NPC's they just repeat the quest completed dialogue. I have a quest for Finn's Lute, I've found the lute but when I talk to her I can't hand the quest in either.

*Quest: Boethiah's Calling

*Type: Daedric Quest

*Description: Sacrificing a follower at the pillar as instructed does nothing. No Boethiah's conduit. Nothing happens.

*How to replicate: I believe sacrificing a follower before attaining level 30 will cause this to happen.

Stats: Level 15ish the first time, level 31 the second. 39 hours in.

Other: I have tried to kill the cult first which does succesfully produce Boethiah's conduit. However she just says to sacrifice a thrall at the pillar to gain her attention.

I have Panteas flute in my inventory. under Misc Quests it says to find Panteas Flute. When I talk to Pantea nothing happens.

Under the side quest Blood on the Ice. The game completely skips over the potion of having to patrol the streets at night and goes straight to capturing the murdered. When I catch up to Calixto I can beat him up forever while never being able to kill him so the quest won't end.

Thats 2 quests now I have that won't complete.

*Quest: Conjuration Ritual Spell

*Type: College of WinterHold

*Description: Phinis Gestor has simply disappeared from my game between the quests Good Intentions and Revealing the Unseen keeping me from even starting the quest for the Conjuration Ritual Spell. I tried waiting a span of 2 weeks in game time: 1 week in the Hall of Countenance to check if he'd be there each night and the other in Whiterun just to see if i could get him to reset.

*Stats: Altmer, 43 or so when he vanished, can't remember play time spent a while trying to work around it.

Quest: Repairing the Phial
Type: Misc Quest
Description: I am stuck with Forsworn Briar Hearts in my inventory, the waypoint is still active if the quest is active. But... cannot get quest giver to recognize the fact that I have said item. (and every Briar Heart is now a quest item. I can drop some, but three seems to be the limit)
How To Replicate: Bug seems to activate once you have a briar heart in your inventory as soon as the courier (or quest trigger) seems to activate this second part of the white phial mini questline.
Other Info: Apart from the broken quest it's really irrirating to be stuck with (now) useless ingredients. Also while the unmelting snow is also flagged as essential (cannot drop), the mamoth tusk powder is not flagged as essential and can be found as a misc ingredient on NPC's like bandits, giants and necromancers.
Stats: level 46, 74 hours (or something like that no exact data, found this thread way after bug occured)

Quest: Pantea's Flute
Type: Misc Quest
Description: Similar to the above described bug. Not only am I stuck with all three instruments for the bards misc questline. I cannot get Pantea to recognize or to acknowledge that I found her flute (no innuendo intended :hubbahubba: )
How to replicate: I found the flute in a chest in one of the dragonshout caves. (for the love of God, i cannot remember which one), it might be triggered because I spoke to some bards in Sollitude, though I did not trigger any of the bards quests. The courier who guided me towards said cave approached me in Whiterun though.
Other info: Irritating, nothing else, the reward for this quest is meaningless at the moment for my character. But the quest clutters my journal and I feel like a solo band with all these instruments..
Stats: When I found the flute upper twenties, when the quest started upper thirties.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet...

*Quest name: N/A
*Type: Thieves Guild Misc.

*Description: Relatively early into the Thieves Guild quests you are given a full suit of thieves armor to wear; each piece adds to thief skills like pickpocketing, lock picking, etc. However, chances are decent that if you use heavy armor or are just doing the Thieves Guild for completion (i.e. not really focused on thief skills or thieving that much) you will have little use for this armor and will sell it. The most convenient place to sell it happens to be Tonilia, as she has a good amount of money and is (I think) the one who gives you the thief set in the first place. This presents a problem though, as you are later given a quest to upgrade your armor. If you sold all of your armor to Tonilia, your only dialogue option with her will inevitably end with her telling you to go find it. She won't go into her buy/sell screen and pickpocketing her for the armor comes up empty. I have not yet progressed much further so I don't know if this breaks any quests further down the line or whether it essentially makes her useless as a vendor/fence for the rest of the game as well as the short term. So far as I know, there isn't a replacement set you can get your hands on, though I have not tried killing any of the other thieves to check.

How To Replicate: Sell Tonilia all four pieces of your thief set and don't buy them back before she offers an upgrade for a piece of your set.
Stats: N/A
Other: N/A

Not sure if there's an official quest or not, but I'm stuck on becoming Thane of Riften.

The quest log says to check in with the Jarl, but there's no conversation options that will let me progress. She told me to purchase Sunnyside from her advisor and then check back with her. I bought and upgraded sunnyside in one go, went to take a look, but when I came back, speaking to the jarl would not advance me.

I ran into an identical problem as well. Not sure if this happens 100% of the time or just random chance or what.

On that note, I've noticed a glitch where with a bounty quest involving bandits, if you cleared that area before you got the quest, the quest doesn't auto update to complete or respawn the chief so you can complete the quest, making it impossible to complete so far as I can tell. This happened to me with a single tower so far and upon venturing back to the (cleared) tower, there were two bandits on the lower floor, but nobody upstairs and in any case no chieftain to be seen. Presumably this could happen for any bandit bounty quest. I am not sure if it would happen with the dragon bounties or not.

So, in the usual format...

*Quest name: N/A
*Type: Bandit Bounty Misc.

*Description: Apparently if you clear an area of bandits and then later receive a bounty to kill the chief bandit there, the quest neither auto completes (reflecting the area's cleared status) nor does a new chief bandit spawn there. It's possible that the bounty causes other bandits to spawn (not confirmed, may have just been random respawns due to time elapsed) but in any case the important one won't be there. Talking to the steward who you are supposed to turn the bounty in to presents no dialogue option to turn in the bounty. Have not confirmed whether this happens all the time or just sometimes due to a glitch in the code or what have you.

How To Replicate: Clear out a bandit area prior to receiving the bounty quest for that very area.
Stats: N/A
Other: N/A

@Tanishh - Emm.. I sort of need a quest name to add them to list.. so for the thieves armour quest you reported, it would be the quest you got that told you to get the armour upgrade. And the name for the bandit one would be whatever the misc obj says.

I'm going to update the OP a little btw :)

Quest Name: Repairing the Phial
Type: Side Quest
Description: Told to obtain a Briar Heart from the Forsworn at Broken or Sundered Towers Redoubt. Had previously cleared that area. Found Forworn with the Heart dead. Took the Heart, no journal update. I also had a Briar Heart in my inventory marked as a quest item. Qust doesn't seem to recognize it. Questgiver won't take any of the items retrieved, including either of the Hearts obtained. One Briar Heart remains stuck in inventory as Quest Item.
How to Replicate: I believe it glitched due to having the Briar Heart already in my inventory, due to having cleared the area the quest marked, or the combination of those factors. I am unable to test this.

Quest Name: Rjorn's Drum
Type: Misc. Obj. (I think. It never showed in my quest log.)
Description: Had found Rjorn's Drum early on in my game. Finally got to the Bards College, spoke to Giraud Gemane, saw option to return Drum to him. Recieved reward for doing so in frm of skill levels. The Drum was not removed from my Inventory and remains a Quest Item.

Quest Name: The Forsworn Conspiracy
Type: Side Quest
Description: Finished quest and subsequent "Escape from Cidhna Mine". The guards in the Temple of Talos are still there and try to arrest me using the same dialogue from "The Forsworn Conspiracy".

Quest name: Forbidden Legends
Side quest
Started after joining Wizards college.

I get to a room that have two thrones (chairs) with a lever next to them. Each lever operates a revolving door that opens up to two rooms. One door opens up to symbols and the other opens up to rotating symbols. Only these symbols don't move even though they should. You can tell because when you get close to them, an action is hi lighted. In the throne room there is a chain that you can pull but all that does is shoot at you. Indicating that the symbols in the other room has not in the correct position.

Fix what ever thing that is keeping those symbols from moving.

Also tried looking for it (Forbidden Legends) in the book but it was not even listed. Couldn't you at least put all the quest that you have in the game into the strategy guide? gees...

Also I sometimes have trouble turning pages in a book while in Folgunthur (the place that this quest has taken me).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Quest: Investigate the Boethiah cultist

Type:Miscellaneous

Description: A Boethiah cultist attacked me while I was at the Shrine of Azura, and I got the "Investigate the Cultist" objective. So I searched his body and took everything, as well as reading the book that was included. It unlocked the "Boethiah's Calling" quest. However, the "Investigate the Boethiah Cultist" objective is still listed under my Miscellaneous tab and won't go away even though I've already progressed through Boethiah's Calling.

Quest: Battle for Dunstad
Type: Civil War
Description: Ther are 2 different problems with this quest. The one that has happened to me is as follows: I get to the fort and start fighting. When there are around 40% of the enemies left the game completely freezes. I have tried the following: playing from the disc, playing from HDD, restarting the console, clearing cache, using earlier save files.
Everyone else is having problems with the enemies never showing up in the fort.
How To Replicate: Just go there and see for yourself. Congrats if it didn't freeze for you and you do have the enemies there to kill
Stats: Level 35 with around 55 hours of gameplay, save file is around 10MB
Other: Not a problem with the console.
