Ok im 3 weeks into this game and im level 81 and playing it on the 360. I done a chance arrangement about aweek ago. Went to do the next quest speak to matey in the Red flagon. Problem is he wont leave his stall and the other stall owners are still gathered around him. Im really not happy as im an assassin build so i just joined the dark brotherhood and when i came to doing the quest to join the thiefs guild its bugged as stated above. I find this disgusting that such a bug got past testing. To me its game breaking and i would like a reply from bethesda that this will be patched. Ive now lost the interest to play this game after putting so much work into it to find i cant join the thieves guild. Bethesda patch it and i def no im not the only one with this bug on the 360.

i had the same problem. people was just standing around him in his stall and he didnt move.. i just reloaded and it was fixed. i think its caused if u are too long with the steal-place thing.
if people move away after the task is done, then its safe to continue, if not. reload again.

load from before starting the quest that is.

I cant reload as i done the quest aweek ago. It was only last night 1 week on that i wanted to do the quest thats bugged. He just wont leave the stall. So thats 1 week of my time playing skyrim that hes not moved from his stall.

aww that svcks big time... :-/ i waited aswel to see if they went away, but they are staying there 24/7 not even sleeping or eating, if u can't load then i see your dilemma.. have u tried and use your force push on them and run outside and hide, then go back in when its safe? maybe it will fix it. but im not sure.. havend tried it myself

Last night i attacked him and lured him to the ratway then went inside but he wouldnt follow me in there. Was hoping to lure him into the red flagon hide till he was non hostile and speak to him but that plan was shot down in flames.

Gonna keep bumping till some one at bethesda replys to this post.

I'm on the very final quest, and the dungeon door has locked shut. Can't get all the acheivements, or finish the guild.

I cant even join the guild let alone get the achievements.

Bump

I have the exact same issue! I was hoping it was fixed last patch, but it wasn't. Please fix it Bethesda!!
