Ok, I am pretty far into the Dark Brotherhood quest in TES IV: Oblivion, I came across this quest where I am supposed to defeat this champion in his own house, I picked the lock to his house; however, I am caught by a guard when I walk out of his house, After I try to pay the gold or go to jail, (yes I know I can resist but I don't do that in the game) my game crashes and I have to restart my computer over and over again. I don't know what the problem is, I spent 34+ hours into this game, and I only encountered one other crash, tough this specific one crashes my game enough that I am stuck and cannot progress no matter what. Sometimes quests or npcs become bugged and the game will keep crashing at a certain point when dealing with certain NPC's. The best thing is to reload a previous save to before starting that quest and redo everything.If you can't reload another save then the only thing you can do is mess with console commands and hope you can pass the part you're stuck on without triggering a crash since the command may just advance you to the part that is bugged.Can you specify exactly which quest you are on? I don't recall having to kill any champions in their own home in the Dark Brotherhood questline.

I don't recall having to kill any champions in their own home in the Dark Brotherhood questline.@Snake, The quest name is 'Broken Vows', It is located in the town of Bryma, it is this chain of sidequests after you have done the dark brotherhood quests.P.S. I thank you for posting to this discussion, I will wake your advice and I will try to fix this. Okay I remember that mission now thanks.Well first thing you should try is to check if the quest is glitched somehow.type the following into consoleplayer.moveto 30149If the game or NPC is glitched this might cause an instant crash. If the game doesn't crash proceed to complete the quest by talking to him, if it does crash, reload your save and type the following into console.prid 30149moveto playerThis will teleport him to wherever you are. Teleport him outside his house so maybe his AI will reset. Talk to him and then let him walk back into his house.
If the game doesn't crash, follow him inside and try to complete the quest.If any crash occurs just type the followingprid 30149killIf the game crashes with any of these steps, then the quest is glitched and might require you to reload an earlier save to before accepting that quest.

Well, not quite the first time. I never finished, but I did complete some of it in my first playthrough when the game was first released. And then I put it off in later playthroughs and became rather attached the named NPCs in playthroughs where I forgot they were Dark Brotherhood targets. Narfi the beggar?
Who'd even want him dead?! I feel bad for the guy! Ect.As I've got lots of mods that populate the world now, a few less faces would hardly be noticable anymore. But I want to complete this questline for the first time ever so now I'm stuck.Currently I'm battling myself over whether to kill Nilsene Shatter-Shield or not even though the girl literally has about two scripted comments.
But I saved her from death already in Blood on the Ice so I'm a little attached, you know?Anyways, as console resurrect commands don't work for Dark Brotherhood deaths (I tried on Narfi and he's MIA now), does anyone have any advice for someone who doesn't want to kill anyone doing this questline? Thoughts and prayers? Anyone have the same problem? What did you do? Originally posted by:s for the console, nah, I may have been the second person to scold you for it, but that barrage was coming with or without me because all to often we do have to deal with people who break thier games and then whine about it on the forums, and it's not a joking matter here.TBH I have a terrible sense of humour.
My main indicator in the original post was asking for 'thoughts and prayers' which I figured would be pretty obvious but apparently it's not as big a joke outside the circles I run? I was seriously hoping for some support and like-minded people and am still pretty shocked there aren't any, but also joking. People can be multi-faceted you know.
Other joking bits included calling the NPCs I'm attached to 'dumb NPCs with 3 lines' and the apparently monsterous 'I have the power of the console why can't I just resurrect them' (punctuated with a period because it wasn't actually a question, but a joke) and some exaggerated language for effect ('battling' myself over Nilsene instead of 'just haven't decided'). And yeah, I did break my save over Narfi, of all NPCs, isn't the hilarious though now that you know I do actually already know better?Anyways, I recommend you don't make the mistake of taking someone as a serious human being again if you think a good response to that is to tell them you know better what's healthy for them or not and they shouldn't play video games anymore and sling phrases like 'serious issues' on a video game forum of all places? Because that's not respecting them as a serious human being, it's treating them like a child. Because that's honestly the part that I've taken issue with, not the console thing. I should have added the disclaimed that console is bad and I should feel bad into my original post, but I was pretty ready to respond with that basic clarification until your post started going on about how I can't possibly be right in the head because I have empathy for NPCs and how could I possibly think anyone else would think that too?Seriously, what's your problem? Yeah, consoles are bad, we can all agree on that, but you didn't have to get all up in arms about the rest.
Originally posted by:I guess you could say I'm of the same mind as you. I have close to 9000 hrs between LE & SSE and have never done the Dark Brotherhood, and only some of the Thieve's Guild questline. I've never been a vampire and only tried werewolf once (didn't finish/cured myself). To be honest I only defend myself. I always let the bandits or whatever have the first shot.
Except for the Thalmor. I will snipe those guys every chance I get.Edit: I don't go out of my way to avoid a confrontation though!!I used to be a werewolf all the time because diseases annoyed me and because I could transform only at will it was all benefit and no drawbacks. Now I use a needs mod and actually use sleep so I don't do that anymore. Never filled out any werewolf perks or even transformed after the first night.I'm usually pretty good for killing anyone unnamed like bandits without provocation, but give someone a name, even an obvious bandit chief, and I'll quicksave and try walking up to them and seeing if they attack first every time.Except the Thalmor.
Give them a name and Thalmor robes and dude is as good as dead, it's just a matter of time.eyes guards shiftily. Oh, also I wouldn't hesitate to kill Nazim if given the opportunity, but I can't say I've got a clean opportunity yet.TBH I have a bit of a similar problem with taking sides in the civil war. There are Jarls I like on both sides so I don't take a side so I don't displace them. This is my playthrough of 'usually don'ts' so I'll be doing that too this time.
When I get around to it. Meh, getting defensive is an expected reaction to a nerve being hit as opposed to the 'I was just joking' vibe you were apparently attempting to aim for, but whatever, like I said, my mistake for responding to your posts as if you were serious as opposed to having your tongue planted firmly in your cheek.
Now, with that said, I'm not sorry for what I said, because the emotional attachments you described as having formed with NPCs that are literal cardboard cutouts is not a healthy thing to have and we do live in a world where people are being drawn into thier virtual lives and alienating themselves from reality. Now, apparently that isnt your situation, but if it were you should be thankful that someone was willing to virtually slap you as opposed to patting you on the head and pretending it was healthy. And yes; IF your first post was serious, then your hobby would be an unhealthy one for you. I don't believe in 'giving a drunk a drink'.As for the console, take a little time to read the forums, because they are full of people whining about thier games being broken, usually due to thier own actions, and people like myself simply get tired of it.

Thoughts and prayers? Anyone have the same problem? What did you do?Someone else already said this, but you can make a hard save before you begin the quest and then complete it and go back to your old save.
Or, you can use console commands to force complete the quest. It'll show up in your journal as complete, and I think you get XP for completing it. Not nearly as much XP as if you went through the whole quest.
You lose out on any gear and rewards you would get in the quest though. I'm not sure what happens to characters that have to die in the quest. I would assume that characters like Vittoria Vicci and the various other characters you have to kill in the quest live, while most of the Dark Brotherhood members completely disappear. I don't know.
You may not even be able to enter the various Sanctuaries since you won't learn the phrase to get in. This would accomplish your task of keeping the NPC's you've grown attached too alive. I would suggest combining the 2. Make a hard save, go through the quest normally, then once its finished, reload the save from before, and then complete it through the console.
