Daggerfall: Um I can't Kill My Target?

Post » Tue Aug 19, 2014 10:36 am

OK I found a guy in Daggerfall named Uthistye Yeomston who tasked me with killing Belleadanna Buckingston as the Dark Brotherhood said no to this request, I found the girl but get this....oddly for some reason my attacks aren't affecting her. Not only that the guards aren't chasing me so it's as if I'm attacking a ghost....why else would they not show up saying "HALT!"? I tried casting a spell, heck even tried the different interetactions tools like stealing, BUT ALL BRINGS UP THE TALKING PAGE!!!!

I try casting the Shock spell, the talk page pops up (the page where you can ask someone about news or shops/guilds), I try to steal from her the talk page pops up, "everything I do besides trying to stab her opens up the talk page" so what's up? Is this a glitch/bug? How do I kill her and complete the contract? There is a female Bard downstairs dressed like the Spellwords, when I talk to her it just tells me "You see a Bard" but at least I can attack her which gives the "what kind of assasin are you? TOO ARMS!!!!" text so is she the target? How when the Belleadanna Buckingston girl is up stairs?

You know I tried to Google this like I would with Oblivion or Skyrim, but no luck why is Daggerfall so freaken rare when Googling up missions?

Have you tried exploring her dialog options?

Once i got a quest to save some lady who was kidnapped rescued from inside a dungeon. I managed to find her but when i click on her to come with me a dialog mesage appears and then she cries in panic and dies of an heart attack (quest failed).

Daggerfall common quests have a few surprising alternative endings activated by a random factor (perhaps it was because i tought too much time).

Nothing special about her text dialog...besides doesn't exlain why everything I do opens it up.

EDIT: OOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I completed the mision by killing the female bard, NOT WHO THE GUY TASKED ME TO KILL!!! He tells me to kill a girl, I find her but she's unhurtable...I go downstairs kill the bard instead and return and I got the reward? I DIDN'T EVEN KILL HER I just killed a random bard the girl with the name I had to kill was up stairs.....was this a character/coding glitch?

Daggerfall does have some buggy quests. You may have found one. :D
