So, I decided that my Nord Stormcloak would pretend to join the Imperials, steal the Jagged Crown and report back to Ulfric to confuse the Imperial troops and 'gain intelligence' for a new role-play idea.

So, I enter Solitude as I prepare to 'join the Legion' and look to my right, expecting the same old sight, but... Nobody was there. At all.

No executioner, no Rogvir, no gawkers... I asked around, and nobody said anything about Rog's execution.

It never happened! It actually didn't happen in my playthrough!

I know this is just a glitch, but it affected the story for my role-play, allowing me to improvise and come up with a different plot as to before.

Anybody else experience this?


Oh, by the way, I did leave and reenter the city a couple of times, and again after 2 in-game weeks. Still nothing.

Put. Down. The. Skooma.

Never seen this before. Try reloading a save previous to this or keep on leaving and coming back a few more times.

Did that, same thing. No execution.

Maybe it was something I've done...? If so, I'll scour the game saves for it and share it here.

That's pretty cool haha.

Nice!

You have saved Rogvir, what was at one time thought to be an impossible task. Well done!

Thank you I didn't do a thing, but sure, gimme the glories!

Slight digression, if I ran onto the platform and slaughtered the guards and executioner, could I save Rogvir?

He would keel over and lose his head even if his executioners are dead or so it has been reported. WTF! Talk about an unlucky stiff!

Very interesting bug.

Yeah, I wanna go see wild solo human decapitation now, off to see for myself

Sort of... You can save him. But if he actually survives, he'll be removed from the game the minute you or he switches a cell.

I saved him once he ran away all the guards came after me

i followed him to make sure he lived and then he just vanished into thin air

No, even if you kill the guards and executioner, Rogvir will die rather quickly. He can take just one step and...die.

Bethesda just doesn't like the poor soul.

That's odd. Lucky!!!!

Check if he's still alive.

Executioners are busy men. They can't wait for an audience to arrive.

You obviously got there too late and missed the whole thing!
