For the quest May The Best Thief Win... I've hit a weird point. I was playing the quest normally, failing at everything, and then it was announced that the book was stolen before I could get to it, but I could steal it from the person in question before she turned it in. That's all well and good, but I was messing around while waiting for her in my ambush spot and I killed myself jumping off a cliff. I respawned, obviously, and I respawned before she stole the book.
Which is where the wierdness comes in. I eventually did get to break into Amantius's house, and the green arrow-thing came up showing that the book was there: But it wasn't. The book wasn't on, or in the desk... So I broke into the other thief's house while she was asleep to see if she had it, but she didn't... and the quest hasn't ended. Its like the book just vanished, no one has it, and I can't continue the quest. I looked it up in the Wiki and there wasn't even any mention of this kind of bug...
So, a little help? Is this something I can fix or do I just have to live without being in the thieve's guild?
thanks!
