hi, i don't understand it, so many players have the problem with this quest, and there was an update recently, and the makers did not bother to fix this... i will never finish this game, because obtaining the black book from neloth is depending on finding the servant, and in my situation, the body is in the water on the right between skyrim and Solstheim, i tried swimming under water, reanimating, waiting long days, there is no body to be found. I am level 93, and i guess Bethesda would suggest to start the game over, and MAYBE the bug will not occur? I really do not understand that, why they can't fix this?
Don't tell me to upload the save, because it's not an option in my situation.
Best regards
