Skyrim talk:Dungeon Delving (Caves)

Are you limited to 1 quest per game or 1 quest at a time or can you have them all at the same time/complete them all? — Unsigned comment by 220.162.115.107 (talk) on 19 December 2011

It seems that only one radiant quest of a similar type can be assigned at any given time. You must clear the radiant quest from your miscellaneous quests in order to be eligible to receive another of the same type. Kastagir 18:23, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it's correct that you can only have 1 of these at a time since at the moment I've got 3 of them. Also the list of people that give this quest seems to be incomplete, for exemple there is also a quest to find the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Helm_of_Winterhold#Helm_of_Winterhold while that item is not on the list — Unsigned comment by 83.81.246.145 (talk) at 21:24 on 18 January 2012

You have three because they're technically considered different types of quests. This page is for Dungeon Delving (Caves). There is also a Dungeon Delving (Bandits) and a Dungeon Delving (Jarl-Caves) which are considered different types by the game. I believe all the Dungeon Delving quests you can get from Jarls are considered unique. Alphabetface 14:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Unable to get more than one quest from this list at a time

I ran a test on this issue. Once I got one of these quests I was unable to get it from any of the other people. I tested this starting with each of the NPCs and had the same problem. Then did another test to see if a new quest would be available once the current quest was completed and it worked. I got Frida's quest and was unable to get any of the others. Once I completed her quest the other quests were available again. I then got Oengul War-Anvil quest and the rest of the quests were not available. Not a completely thorough test but it does appear you can only get one of these at a time. — Unsigned comment by Izzysawicki (talk • contribs) at 03:32 on 3 February 2012

This has been noted elsewhere on the Wiki about radiant quests in the same group (can't remember where). Should be here too, though. Adding to notes section. Alphabetface 13:49, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I think the "find Hralti's sword" quest for the ghost in Old Hroldan might be in this group as well. The smith in Windhelm didn't have the dialog to start his "find Freydis' sword" quest while I had the other active. --97.73.64.147 06:50, 13 December 2012 (GMT)

Cannot complete quest?

Not sure of the cause, but it seems at some point I either started this quest to return Queen Freydis's Sword, or (if this is possible) simply found the sword without getting the quest start. Either way, in my misc. tasks it tells me to "return queen's sword" to quest giver, but when I checked my inventory I didn't have the sword in it, and when I talk the smith guy, he has no dialogue options relating to this quest. I tried using the console to a.) add item to my character to see if that would prompt dialogue b.) reset quest c.) Set stage to 20 to auto-complete d.) Set stage to 10 and then 15 to see if that would prompt his dialogue or re-start the quest. None of the above seem to have any effect that I can discern in-game after using those console commands, IE no on-screen prompts telling me the quest has advanced or anything. Nobody on the net seems to have reported this problem enough to have google bring it up. Anyone got advice here? It is worth noting that IF I REMEMBER RIGHT (this was probably nearly a year ago) I got the quest and went off and found the sword, then got side-tracked doing other things and eventually finished the civil war in favor of the imperials before attempting to turn this one in. Given the smith guy is hard-line Stormcloak I wasn't sure if there was the possibility of this being somehow intentional but poorly coded or what. Anyone got feedback/advice/help for me?
