Redguards still in Whiterun and on roads?

[Aethuviel]

I finished Saadia's quest a long time ago. On this particular character, I sided with her, so the Alik'r warriors are still at the Whiterun gates. Nevermind, I guess I can sneak-murder them.

But it bugs me that the random encounter with two Alik'r harassing a redguard woman is still going on. Both of these things should be gone, since I finished that quest.

I see other people complaining about the two blokes in Whiterun, but not about the random encounters still going on.

Which choice did you tell them?

[Manlikebeans]

Exactly same thing happened to me its so annoying and i dont have a stealth build

[Aethuviel]

Told who? I sided with Saadia, like I said. So Kematu is dead.

[Slava Ukraini]

Same here. The game is incomplete. Many quests never got finished unfortunately. Maybe there is a mod?

Actually, I believe a very large number of things don't update to account for progress through various quests, resulting in things like people still talking about the civil,war as if it's ongoing even after you put an end to it or guards still rudely making the comment "what, did someone steal your sweetroll?" to you even after you're high level and word of your heroic deeds has spread far and wide :P

[Aethuviel]

Yeah.
Sooo, I tried to take out the redguards at the gate. But being level 32, with a glass bow, ebony arrows AND an archery potion, I still can't take them out quickly enough. Bummer.

Well if they bug you that much... and fail horribly at stealth, you could just console kill them.

[VILLAGE PILLAGE ⊕]

How does it even bug you it's out of my mind.
Anyway just kill them, you won't get a bounty.

These things were fixed in Unofficial Skyrim Patch 1.1, meaning quite long time ago.

You do not seem to have all DLCs, so here is the link to old patch.

Perhaps she was indoors while you were looking outdoors?

[Aethuviel]

Sooo I killed both of them... and every time the guards just KNOW I did it, despite being hidden at the time and no bounty being added.

So I console kill them. They're not essential. But they just fall to one knee and act half-dead, then when I come back, they're fine. They just. won't. die!

YES it might seem like nitpicking, but it bothers me that these two guys are staying there long after the quest is over.

[Aethuviel]

Just tried the same thing with a random poor guard and he apparently had a heart attack and died instantly. The Alik'r won't.
But I CAN kill them with arrows, so they're not essential.
Makes no sense.

Sounds like a protected status (meaning the player has to kill them).

If you have the werewolf form, then that acts a lot like the Grey Cowl from the previous game - illegal actions you perform while using it won't be attributed to your human form.

Of course, you could always markfordelete or disable them.
