Issue #36044: Pinewatch boss will respawn with unique name after killing her in TGTQ01

 
The bandit boss' name in Pinewatch Bandit Sanctuary still displays as "Rigel Strong-Arm" after the dungeon is initially cleared during the related Thieves Guild quest (TGTQ01). Since she's dead, the game should be displaying her name as "Bandit Chief" instead. The problem could be related to how the boss alias is set up in dunPinewatchQST.

It looks like this issue was supposed to have been fixed way back in v1.3.1. See (Bug 6671). Not sure how this is possible, but the console shows that dunPinewatchQST is still running. That could be related to the unique name not clearing as it should.

Assuming you still have this issue, we're going to need some additional info

What stage is dunPinewatchQST at?
What stage is USKPChangeLocation06 at?

The fact that dunPinewatchQST is still running suggests the patch quest never kicked in for some reason, but that shouldn't be possible.

Yes, dunPinewatchQST is still running. It looks the five aliases haven't been cleared for whatever reason. I have no idea why that would be because the console shows that TGTQ01 isn't running.
