Another quest on XBox 360 which needs to be fixed is "Rescue Mission." This quest is given to Dragonborn by Vilkas, the Harbringer of the Companions.

The Dragonborne is tasked with traveling to a pair of towers to the east of Whiterun, kill the bandits at these towers, and rescue the kidnapped lady from them.

The problem with this is that the quest is completely broken!!! I've been to the towers multiple times, killed all the bandits, but the kidnapee never shows! The other thing is that the compass points you back to Whiterun when the quest is activated, but while inside Whiterun it points you directly to the towers!!!

I am unable to continue the Companion's Questline because this stupid quest is completely broken.

What should I do? I think the only thing I can do is start another playthrough and completely ignore that quest and see if I can get a different job from another Companion so I can finish the Companion's questline. ..

Any fixes/suggestions would be nice.
