BANDIT LEADER UTTERING HILLS CAMP

[76561198042888882]

all,

for the third time, i have been given the quest to kill the uttering hills camp bandit leader. i have went there on three separate occasions since getting this quest the third time and killed the bandit leader twice and killed a bandit maurder where the leader should be and the quest does not mark as completed. does anyone know how i can fix this so that i can get a new quest from whichever jarl i got this from.

thanks.

So you're saying that you have been getting this Bounty for Uttering Hills Camp for three times in succession consecutively and on the third time the "leader" is no longer a bandit chief but a marauder?

Questions:
- Are you running any mods?
- Is the quest marker working?
- Are you doing the bounties within the timespan of an in-game week?

Anyway it takes about 3 days for indoor cells to respawn so you can wait around if you want but don't quote me on that.

no mods. quest marker sometimes on leader and sometimes on the spot.

i got the quest and tried it the first time and the leader just lied there after i killed him. i waited about a week for everything to respawn and tried it again and this time the maurder was there. i killed him and the nothing happened. i waited another week for everything to respawn and tried it again. i got the bandit leader but the quest marker was not on him. i killed him and the quest did not finish once again.

So the cell did reset and the quest marker still points that your target is in Uttering Hills and even you go there, the arrow is pointing at an empty space? This complicates things...

Have you completed that Thief Guild quest relating to this? You'll know what I'm talking about if you've done it.

Anyway you can try the console commands but save first before you do.

Sounds like a radient quest they have a habit of bugging out sooner or later. It won't break the game if you ignore it.
