Broken Companions Quest

Just in case anyone was wondering.....this quest being broken does not prevent you from becoming thane. This quest is broken for me and i had presumed that i couldn't become thane, however after helping out enough people in the town i still got the Skooma quest. I didn't get it from the Jarl though, i got it from a wandering Argonian woman that was addicted. After giving her a healing potion, i got the Skooma quest. She was wandering around the stables outside the city. - Citticringle 15:22, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I am not sure why for my case there is no bandit leader. There is an Orc, Orc hunter and a bandit in that tower. I guess what written differs for different level. 175.145.212.208 14:52, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Also had no problem becoming Thane. Enough other quests available to reach 3/3 for Riften Thane. Had same situation with a dragon quest near Falkreath, and could get Thane status their also. — Unsigned comment by 108.197.17.202 (talk) at 16:34 on 25 December 2011 (UTC)

If you kill the leader, you can also not go on with the companion quest. Companions will say, youre already on a mission........ Nice..... Any comments on that...... — Unsigned comment by 145.53.219.63 (talk) at 20:05 on 27 December 2011 (UTC)

on how to fix the broken quest? — Unsigned comment by 80.112.204.114 (talk) at 17:19 on 29 December 2011 (UTC)

The quest is broken for me and I still can become Thane by buying a house, but I wish to complete this quest and maybe there is a command to respawn the orc leader. — Unsigned comment by 187.23.114.8 (talk) at 15:04 on 8 January 2012 (UTC)

(←) It may be worth mentioning that if you're sent here as one of the first Companions quests, it will impossible to complete. You have to get the job from someone else.--Hatrackhotel (talk) 07:07, 4 July 2013 (GMT)

Hatrackhotel, had you already been to this location before receiving that quest? If so, that bug is already listed as confirmed on the article. If not, can you give more specifics please? — ABCface^◥ 20:23, 4 July 2013 (GMT)

I had been, yes. It didn't occur to me that it was listed, my bad. You've all got it covered, nothing to worry about here. --Hatrackhotel (talk) 04:18, 5 July 2013 (GMT)

Wrong picture

The picture of the 'Rift Watchtower bandit chief' at the bottom of the article is completely wrong. The picture shown is 'SR-place-Hag's_End_05.jpg'

Fixed, thanks for pointing it out. — ABCface^◥ 04:31, 25 October 2014 (GMT)

Possible pathing bug

Pathing seemed completely broken at this location for me just now. Quest objective was in the chest on top of the tower. Clairvoyance could not find a path to the quest objective until I was on top of the tower. The orc found outside the tower could not enter it. The orc found inside the tower could not exit it. The orc found on top of the tower was able to at least begin to descend the stairs inside the tower, but only if closely pursuing me. After claiming the quest objective and marking a different quest active, clairvoyance could not find a path to an objective elsewhere form either on top of or inside the tower. After exiting the tower, clairvoyance functioned normally. Seemed like pathing for areas of the tower was completely absent. Platform PC GOG 1.6.659 no mods. 73.65.99.175 19:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
