Bugs[]
This section contains bugs related to Stealing Plans. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- PC 360 PS3 If the quest points the Dragonborn to any of the following places which are already cleared, the game will crash:
- Broken Helm Hollow
- Orotheim
- Redoran's Retreat
- Treva's Watch
- 360 If the chosen location is Broken Helm Hollow and the first two Silver Hand enemies inside are waking from their bed rolls and are shot, they sink through the floor. It is recommended that the Dragonborn waits until the interned target has risen completely before shooting.
- PC The console command to skip this part of the quest is
setstage cr10 20
. - PC 360 PS4 In some instances this quest is given again by Aela after already completing it once, rendering it uncompletable since she already has the plans. When asking for work, other Companions may or may not inform the player they are doing something for Aela, or sometimes they may actually give an additional quest. On PC the setstage console command does not work to fix this problem.
- PC (fix) Using the console command
movetoqt CR10
to teleport directly to location and back to Aela makes it possible to finish this quest.
- PC (fix) Using the console command
- PC 360 If the quest is at Faldar's Tooth, Gallows Rock, Broken Helm Hollow, or Fort Fellhammer, the quest marker will not show up and the Silver Hand Stratagem will not be there.
