I did a search on this, but I couldn't find that it has already been done, if it has could someone just post me a link, then I shall go and make us all sandwiches.
There are also spoilers.


When you are doing the stronghold quests for Redoran and you have to hire guards, you go and talk to the guy in the fighters guild, and he asks you to rescue this woman from vivec, Hlaalu prision. Now I can get the key, no worries, but she won't take it. I dont get a diary entry so I can't finish the quest, becuase she won't take the key and free herself.
Any ideas how to sort this?
Cheers

1. One possibility is that you do not have the quest (it's not an offense, it really happens sometimes that you have spoken with a questgiver or a quest related being but the game forgets it somehow). Check your Journal whether you have the journal entry.
2. You can escort the woman out of Hlaalu Prison. That means: (taunt and) kill the ordinator nearby, open the cell yourself and "follow me".
3. The last resort is the console of course.
Start the game editor, open "dialogs", select "journal", find the the corresponding journal entry. The entry name is HR_something (most likely HR_stronghold). Read the related texts and find the value, where you have freed the woman (let's suppose it's 170). Close the editor and start the game. Enter

Journal HR_something 170

Close the console and go to Percius.

1) Yes, i do have the quest
2) She doesn't have any dialogue options at all.

I sometimes found that even though I had a quest in my journal, the dialogue options didn't come up until I had spoken to the quest-giver again. Like, you had to ask the quest giver about the quest (select relevant dialogue options with quest-giver) twice before you could talk about the quest with other people. Maybe try going back to the guy who asked you to free the woman and talking to him again and then seeing if she has dialogue options?

That was my first guess. There has been many a time that I talked to, say, Caius, about a quest, and had to talk to him *again* about the same thing, to actually get the quest.

If all else fails, do like Radek said: Use the console. ;)

Journal HR_Stronghold 145

(I gave Frelene Acques the key to the cell)
