Unfindable Quest Locations in Daggerfall?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 5:52 am

I mentioned this in an old thread about dungeons but I was finally able to reproduce it. http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/7017/questlocation.png It clearly says I need to go to Hearthham's Hold. http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8457/travelmap.png The game says it doesn't exist. I've tried different capitalization, I've tried misspelling it, typing it in multiple times, and I also tried without the apostrophe. No go.

What's the deal here? In the other thread it was suggested to me to remember to include things like "The" if they appear. This one has no such thing (and no, adding it doesn't help ;) ). Does the game do this sometimes, despite me having never heard of the glitch or is mine somehow broken? I've seen this a couple times with dungeon quests so far. Most of the time the travel works great. Oh, and if you're curious, putting "Hold" in there gives me Moorhouse Hold, which was for a quest I did previously.

I checked Daggerfall Cartographer, and Hearthham's Hold does indeed exist in the province of Daggerfall. However, when I do an in-game search, it doesn't come up for me either. It appears to be one of those locations that isn't marked on the map by default. If that's the case, then apparently there is some error that either allows dungeons to be selected for quests when they shouldn't, or something is wrong and the dungeon isn't getting revealed when necessary. Bu the way, I've been checking all the provinces and I also found that there's a Hearthham's Hold in the province of Shalgora. I haven't checked to see whether that one can be found on the map, but considering that there is a Hearthham's Hold in the province of Daggerfall, I think you're being given a valid location--just one that unfortunately isn't appearing on the map for whatever reason.

Make life easier:

1. Map Mode
2. Click out Town
3. Hover over lite orange dots or any other dots til one found the place.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention that doesn't work. I did the same thing other times I had the issue. All I can find is all the other ones I was given or the ones I found on maps.

The only other thing I did differently from normal was rest on my ship before trying to find the thing so I could cast a teleport anchor. I was going to repeat the experiment to see if it would make a difference somehow but the next quest I grabbed was a dungeon I've already done. I think I need to fiddle with it more and see if I can find a pattern.
