Bug - stuck in log[edit]

I seem to have "Kill the leader of Dragon Bridge Overlook" stuck in my log. I've done it successfully once before, but I obtained it again and I don't remember who I got it from. When I track the mission, it doesn't put a waypoint on my map. When I do the "show on map", it's grayed out and won't show me where the quest target is. I fast traveled to Dragon Bridge Overlook, and the camp has reset since the last time I cleared it, but there are no npcs to be found whatsoever.

I tried using the console to remove or advance the quest but it doesn't seem to work. Setstage favor151 and resetquest favor151 seem to do nothing at all. Halp? — Unsigned comment by 75.34.55.137 (talk) at 05:39 on 29 January 2012

You have to to finish the quest according to this page: Bounty: Forsworn.
setstage BQ02 100 or setstage BQ02 101 (depends on who you got the quest from, the jarl or his assistant) also check this site for all the other bounty quests: Bounty Quests. If setstage FavorXXX isn't working for you. this will probably work. — Unsigned comment by 79.192.148.208 (talk) at 22:09 on 6 April 2012

Igmund's steward Raerek also gives these quest[edit]

Not sure if important to note but Raerek also gives these quests along with the Jarl. izzysawicki February 26 2012

Another Bug - buying a house[edit]

I fast traveled to Dragon Bridge to get to Dragon Bridge Overlook (i hadn't discovered it yet) and an Elder Dragon came and attacked everyone at the town. I killed it, but in the middle of the fight, a thing popped up and said I had killed the leader at the Overlook and I had to report back to the Jarl, but when I did, I wasn't able to buy a house afterwards. Is it a mistake on my part, or just a bug? — Unsigned comment by 207.118.138.220 (talk) at 02:49 on 21 April 2012

There is some information about purchasing Vlindrel Hall in the description at the top of that page. Try reading all of that to see what applies to your situation. Unless the page is incorrect or outdated, there are different variables why may be involved. Sorry I couldn't help more than that, but it's a start at least. ABCface 05:24, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Bug - leader already dead[edit]

I'm on PS3 and got the quest "Kill the leader of Deepwood Redoubt" and when I got there he was already dead with the quest marker on top. Casting Revenant and killing him just turned the npc into the usual ash pile with the quest marker still attached, I had to reload a save before talking to the jarl. — Unsigned comment by 91.156.212.161 (talk) at 14:27 on 11 August 2013

Relationship Bug[edit]

I just encountered a bug in which doing this quest AFTER having been made Thane set the Jarl's relationship rank from 3 to 1. I loaded an earlier save to double check, and the rank was three. 188.96.116.177 22:26, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure how that would have happened. As far as I can remember, you are required to do this quest before becoming thane in the first place. (It's the first of three objectives for Igmund - Kill the Forsworn Leader, Find Hrolfdir's Shield, and Assist the People of the Reach.) --Enodoc (talk) 00:59, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Yes, but you can get the first quest from Raerek and after returning to Raerek you can get the second quest from the Jarl to find the shield, completely side-stepping the Jarl's little speech about sellswords. The Jarl's looking for work speech option was selected after having been made Thane. 88.71.100.24 16:33, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Here, I took screenshots. The first picture is after having done, but not finished, the first quest when given to you by Raerek and talking to the Jarl. The second is shortly before finishing the first quest through Raerek, and the third picture is taken after having finished the first quest and talking to the Jarl. Note the friendly greeting. The "looking for work" option was still there after having been made Thane, and finishing it yields you a relationship reduction. https://imgur.com/a/qb4wKr1 88.71.100.24 16:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
