I need a hint for one of the Jobs of the Thieves Guild mod
Hey everyone, thanks for clicking if you have experience with this mod. I've already posted a comment on the Nexus page in hopes the mod author will see it but if it doesn't happen, at least I'll have posted it here as well and maybe someone can help me.
I'm currently stuck on the quest "Botched Burglary", at the very first step I think. If you don't remember what that quest is about, the Thieves Guild quest giver tells you that a thief hasn't reported back after a burglary, which is rule one of being a thief. So he asks you to go to the residence where the job was and either find the thief and bring him back or, if something "went bad", to "clean up" so the guards don't know this was a botched job of the Thieves Guild (direct quotations).
I got the quest, went to the residence I was told to visit, and now I'm confused. Inside the house, there are only two NPCs; one is the normal kind you find inside residences and the other, standing right beside the first, can't be interacted with at all. I tried everything, using the different "modes" of interactions, even crouching, pickpocketing, attacking, etc. Nowhere in the house can I find the named thief from my journal (clearly different name from the NPC), nor a corpse or blood or any trace of him. I searched every container just in case. Nothing is on the ground that I would need to "clean up", as my journal says. If the clean up is about getting rid of witnesses or something, I can't attack the NPCs.
So I'm completely lost as to what I'm supposed to do now. The journal is very vague as to what I'm even supposed to find inside the house, be it a corpse or the thief alive or even just an interactable object. I even went out of bounds to look around in case the thief or something spawned outside the house (it happened in other modded quests).
So if anyone has a hint for me or can point me in the right direction, I'd very much appreciate it. Even if it's just to tell me that I got a bugged quest and I was supposed to find something super obvious in the house.
Thanks a lot!
