Missing Key Bugs

[jayrendar]

I've come across three separate quests that require finding and picking up a key in which case the key is unable to be picked up. This has prevented me from Completing a few big quests and its quite frustrating. Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around these glitches?

Do you have the Light Fingered skill active, the auto loot one? That skill seems to prevent picking up keys in some cases which is really, really annoying.

If you have it on, try resetting the skill node to deactivate the skill, then see if you can pick up the key. If that alone doesn't help, try to reload the world by traveling to another map or leaving the Animus and coming back. If that also doesn't help, you might have to reload an earlier save.

reset the light fingered skill, save the game, then reload the save and you can loot the key and then reassign the light fingered skill

Which quests are these exactly?

There are three known instances where a skeleton contains a key which can only be looted if you do not have the light-fingered skill. These are:
- Obtaining the deed for the Ardmel trade post
- Entering the artifact cave on the south-eastern shore of dublin
- Entering the Deoraby Spar Cavern in Snotinghamscire

If these are the quests you're referring to, apply the procedure mentioned by Dhaunas, this will circumvent the issue.

If you're referring to other quests, please name or describe them.

These are the exact three! Thank the both of you for the replies! I tested it and problem solved. I am so happy I can now get Excalibur!

small similarity; I have noticed that some corpses show no loot "blue lines" above them, but if you leave the area and return right back, there are often corpses with loot that had none before!
