Readvent of Calamity quest "bug"

[NSpectre7]

Don't know if the devs watch the discussions here or if anyone did the same thing and found a workaround, but I broke this quest it seems like.

Upon re entering Melve and viewing the cutscene where Ulrika is being bullied I ran outside and picked up the person bullying her and threw him off the cliff so he couldn't report back to the queen. Going back in I got the cutscene with Ulrika offering to let me sleep in her home for the night. In the morning she had disappeared but the Lennart cutscene didn't happen and he doesnt give me the continuation of the quest. I checked Harve village but Ulrika wasn't there.

Did anyone do the same and managed to complete the quest? Obviously shouldn't kill npc's but in a game where they brag about npc's being kill-able that seems like an obvious moment to put in some safeguards.

Have you finished the Harve Questline "Scaly Invaders"? She only shows up after you've done this.

same thing happened to me. Ulrika is here in town but I can't interact with her and the trouble on the cape quest line is bugged

I think it's because we simped and throw the guy in the water...

Same here. Seems like something they should have planned to happen.

Will try that, but why the f did they not think of us doing exactly what we did!?

Just saw an article about this on Kotaku, too. About how "a lot" of people kill the dude (and wreck their quest).


Gotta say, it never occurred to me to kill the guy. Not because I thought "hey, quest NPC, need him" but just. . . it doesn't generally occur to me to kill named/meaningful NPCs (at least until quests/plot say to). I probably would also think "gee, if I do that, I'll be a criminal/Disa will put out hits on me/etc", at least if "kill him" had popped into my head at all.

(I also don't kill the "famously annoying" NPCs in TES games, either, so I guess it's just me.
/shrug. Only ones I generally kill are the Assassin's Guild recruiter who visits you in your sleep in Oblivion; and the ghoul dude trying to get into Tenpenny Tower in Fallout 3. Because I helped him the first time, and I know what that leads to. I'm fine with breaking that questline :P )
