Go Fish quest not resolving?

[lunadoodle08]

I have 16 rumare slaughterfish scales in my inventory, but the quest isn't updating. When I talk to Aelwin he just tells me where to find the fish and the quest marker is on the lake. Does anyone know how to fix this without console commands?

Do you specifically have the rumare scales, not just regular scales?

This quest has always had this bug. you need to have EXACTLY 12 in your inventory or it won't resolve.

Yeah, you have to use console commands to get rid of some of those scales, you need 12 and only 12. You can't drop any though, of course. Do a search for "go fish bug" and you'll find the command, i'm too lazy and drunk and in jail to do it for you.

I have the same issue as you do.

Is there any way to turn achievements back on after using the console? I can use the console, but then it just ruins all your saves going forward.

Can someone tell Bethesda to add a check for >= 12 when completing this quest... maybe add that in a future patch and force everyone to run a recheck when picking up their 122:nd scale?

its that or remove it from the game since bugs aren't features this is 2025...

Yeah... This One!!! Fortunately for me I don't have this problem, but if not for this thread I would not have stopped at 12 if there were more to be found.

However... speaking of which; I can't find anymore; I have 5, and even after doing other things for 4 or 5 days (In game) they have not Spawned More. I've searched all the waters around Imperial City... do I need to find more elsewhere?
