Nilheim bandit leader autocomplete glitch help

Post » Thu Aug 21, 2014 7:50 am

Hi guys,

So I've only just gotten around to getting Skyrim--in other words, I am woefully behind everything, don't play that much PS3, and so I have no idea how to possibly go about fixing this (see: problem), and you will absolutely need to use small words. The problem being that I've had a couple of quests autocomplete on me. I'm assuming it's as soon as I get into a certain area, but I'm not sure. The current quest I'm going after is killing the bandit leader at Nilheim. I wander around, looking for Nilheim for a bit, and it pops up telling me I've killed the bandit leader. I restarted from the previous save point, and it did it again. I haven't killed the bandit leader--I haven't even found Nilheim--unless the bandit leader's a randomass sabre cat.

...Is the bandit leader a sabre cat?

Okay, no. The bandit leader is not a sabre cat and I absolutely did not just Google that. ...Yup.

This has happened once before, though I can't remember which quest that was. Not so long ago, though. I just svcked it up, despite not getting any fighting or loot, and figured it'd just be a one time thing. It apparently isn't, though the game's been letting me play through the Silver Hand quest without any autocompletes, so it doesn't appear to be gamewide. At any rate, I don't want to keep going with the game if this is going to be a consistent thing--especially if the solution is going to be starting over--so I thought I'd ask you lovely people for help. It might be a completely obvious in-game thing that happens on purpose. It might actually be the sabre cat. I don't know. Google is zero help. You, forum lovelies, are my only hope. (Feel free to pat me on the head and call me an idiot).

Thank you for any help you can give, though :)

I would re-install the game, and choose a save before your quest with Nilheim. (preferable a manual save)
