Two quests I'm having trouble with.
The first one is minor, I think, but it's the one where you have to follow
this woman's husband who's cheating on her. I apparently started this quest
without realizing it a long time ago, and never really followed up on it
until now. Well, much time has passed, and I now just happened to find the
guy, sure enough standing next to another woman. Now I'm unsure as to what
I'm supposed to do next. If I talk to the guy, he gets all mad at me, and
then when I talk to the wife, she gets mad too, and that's the end of that.
No reward or anything. I assume that's not the way to do it. But nothing
else I try seems to have any effect. Tried sneaking, talking to the
mistress, even picking their pockets, but nothing works. Is it too late to
do this quest correctly? Did I screw it up by not doing when I was supposed
to?
The second is far more important. It's the quest where you need to find 3
pieces of the blade for Almalexia. I've found one, at the museum. And of
course Almalexia gives you one. It's this last piece I'm having trouble
with. At least - I think that's what it is, it may be entirely unrelated.
In this woman's house in Godsreach, there's a secret trapdoor to a section
of forgotten sewers. I've made my way down to the last section with the
Strange Devices that throw spells at you when you get close. I got past
those, and the woman was there, all dressed in Glass armor and shooting
arrows at me. She was all paranoid that I'd come to steal "it", which I'm
assuming is the last piece of the blade? Anyhow, I had no choice but to
kill her. But there was no sign of "it" anywhere. I searched the entire
place, took everything on her body except her shoes, and even retrieved
everything from those 2 very heavily guarded chests in one section there.
(Required the use of Dragonbone armor for 100% Flame resist. Fortunately
I'm a Nord, so I already had 100% Frost and 60% Lightning.) It was nothing
but a bunch of Ebony weapons and gems. I noticed in the console that the
arrows on the woman were labeled as "ebony arrow_sadri", and since that's
her name, I'm guessing maybe these have something to do with the quest?
It's the only item on her that's specific to her, though I've never seen a
Mace of Slurring* anywhere else either. Anyhow, am I correct in assuming
these are connected? If not, what else am I supposed to do? I've talked to
every single other person in town that I can think of, and nobody else seems
to know anything. I've searched every sewer and cave that I have access to
at this point, and nothing else seems to come close to being related to this
quest. Any clues?
*(What a perfectly useless item. What possible reason could there be to
want to lower somebody else's Personality? If you're attacking them with
this big mace, they're probably almost dead anyhow. And come to think of
it, why do NPCs even have a Personality attribute? It has pretty much no
purpose whatsoever, except for persuasion and bartering, which NPCs don't
do... Oh well.)
