I've been doing a lot of Mage's Guild quests lately, and a common one is fetching research from a mage in another town. However, the quest giver warns Necromancers will try to stop me. I always arrive in the area and get in the building without seeing a single necromancer. And after I get inside and get the papers, the researcher warns me it'll be hard to get out because of all the... necromancers. So, I leave the building, head back to the Mage's Guild and turn in the papers. No necromancers. I've done this five times, never seen a single necromancer. Is this a bug or does anyone have an explanation?

Are you talking about this http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Research_Notes? If it is, then it isn't a bug at all because the Dark Brotherhood wants the notes and not the Necromancers. But you'll only have a 50% chance to receive the letter, so you probably ended up not receiving the letter.

Wow, someone has seriously revamped the Daggerfall section on the UESP. It used to svck and I'd always just point them to The Beginner's Guide, but that's looking pretty good. Of course, I'd probably still point them to the Beginner's Guide just out of habit (or maybe tradition), but hey.

That's the one. Why does everyone think it's necromancers, though?

Yeah I do remember it being pretty uninformative before.



To be honest I've never done this quest so I'm not sure. It might just be a part of the script.

I had a similar scenario with a thieves guild quest, after you get your quest item sleep at an inn for a day, if they still don't come you are just too scary for them. :foodndrink:
