Issue #8394: Vald's Debt - Cant be closed, He is dead, found quill after killed.

 
During The Pursuit, Vex tells you that Vald is working for Mercer Frey because of a debt he owes to Maven Black-Briar; clearing the debt is suggested as one way to get Vald to stop guarding Mercer's house, Riftweald Manor. To learn the details of the debt, track down Maven, who can typically be found at The Bee and Barb. She tells you that Vald lost an invaluable item, the Quill of Gemination at the bottom of Lake Honrich outside of Riften.

- I spoke with Mavin, got he option quest to get the quill. However, the next time I played, I went to Riftweald Manor, and out back, Vald, attacked me. He died. I proceed and finished The Pursuit quest.

A day later, I realized I never when and got the Quill. So I found it returned to Mavin, and the only dialog options are;

- How did you become allied w/t guild
- What is the Quill of Gemination
- Your name carries weight in Riften

I am running;
- Unofficial Skyrim Patch 1.2.4
- Unofficial Dawnguard Patch 1.1.3

Hate to be a bother, but do you still have a save that's affected by this? If so, could you attach that here as well? Everything in your log is as expected. It should definitely be working.

As requested.

thought I would include some journal screenshots to show quest progression...

Arthmoor said:
 
No idea why it didn't work for you, because this was specifically fixed in USKP 1.2.4. The fact that you're getting dialogue specific to the quest means its still running.

I'd need to see the SQV output from FreeFormValdDebt in order to know what's going on there, because the tests I ran on it all worked.

Thanks, unfortunately that save won't load in my testbed. Even with all the required mods in the order your save wants them. After selecting it to load, I see a load screen briefly, then it just dies.

Euther said:
 
hmm... Do you want me to try and reduce the mods I have loaded and resave? I am using the latest SKYUI ?.6 and am about to install the latest ß mayne that has something to do with it?

Arthmoor said:
 
Could be. If you can get me one that's not dependent on that, that would be great. I'm still using SkyUI 2.2. Been waiting for 3.0 to enter a more stable beta period before using it.

OK, how do I get you the SQV output from FreeFormValdDebt in order to know what's going on there, because the tests I ran on it all worked.

Open the console (~ key) and then type:

SQV FreeformValdDebt

It'll work best if you have Conskrybe installed (on Nexus, requires SKSE) since you can attack the Conskrybe log here with all the info that gives.

Otherwise provide what you can from the console output.

Chances are slim you'll see this here, but I realized why your save wasn't loading. You didn't provide the SKSE co-save files.

Dont know how long this link will be valid... Here is the save w/SKSE co-save

I can confirm this issue in my game as well (UKSP 1.2.7).<br>
<br>
Vald's dead, I found the quill, but can't close the quest unless I delete the USKP fix dialogue for the quest.<br>

Finally managed to get back around to this - can't reproduce. Vald is dead. Had the quill quest. Recovered the quill. Took it back to Maven. Finished up just fine.
