Delvin's Bedlam Job Uncompletable?

[satayagraha]

I am supposed to steal valuables for 500 gc's worth in Raven Rock. And I have done so - easily more than 500 by now.

But the quest seems to be stock somehow. The partial completion alert doesn't come and I am never told to return to Delvin.

I have tried loading as well as fast traveling, but it doesn't help. I also tried traveling back to Riften to tell him anyway, but that doesn't work either.

What causes it - and/or what can be done?

Help, hints and comments gratefully accepted.

You are right. Raven Rock Bedlam quest is indeed bugged out.

How are you even there? This was already fixed in Unofficial Skyrim Patch 1.3.2.

Return to guild and tell Delvin that you wish to quit the job. Then install USLEEP to your game.

Thanks. However, the option to quit the job never shows in the dialogue...

In that case you have two options. Pick the one you prefer.

1. Get arrested in Raven Rock, which will fail the job.
   
2. Use the following console command: setstage TGRNT 50

Getting arrested didn't work - quest still uncompleted.

The console command did work, to a certain extent: I completed stealing the stuff and was told to see Delvin fine enough. But when I talked to him, the dialogue option to finally complete it was missing.

[Ilja]

Can you pick another job from Delvin now?

[satayagraha]

Yes. I was able to do that all the time, by the way. The dialogue for Fishing or Numbers jobs shows at least.

In that case the quest should be solved. Delvin should not give jobs, if you have incomplete jobs for him.

[satayagraha]

I know that is how it is supposed to work. But in fact, I was able to ask a second job from him even before I went to Solstheim for the Bedlam. I never accepted it, but I was surprised to see the option as well.

And as it is, the Bedlam-quest is still in my journal.

Thank you for the patience, by the way : )

I don't know how to deal with the open Bedlam quest with Raven Rock. That quest is bugged. It is also impossible to complete anyway.

Stealing any item does not count against the quota. They have to be placed in open location (keeps count), or in storage that is out in the open.

Other cities can be emptied few times, before they even have time to respawn. Raven Rock does not have enough valid targets to clear the settlement even once.

This is why USLEEP disables the location as potential Bedlam job target entirely.

You might wish to make a hard save and try out other quest stages from UESPWiki page. I am sorry, but I really can't figure out any other way to help you. I already had the patch, when Raven Rock became "valid" target for TG Bedlam jobs, so I never had to personally deal with this problem.

I eventually got around it with 'setstage TGRNT 200'. And I certainly will get USLEEP installed.

Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you for telling. Now I know which stage I should recommend, if someone else has the same problem.

Good that you got it sorted out.
