Notes[]
- These are side quests and do not play a major role in the Thieves Guild main storyline. They are required, however, in order to become the guildmaster.
- Due to the location of Heimskr's House in Whiterun, it is extremely difficult to get in without being noticed. It is best to wait until Heimskr is inside his house and asleep or the Dragonborn will be spotted.
- Even though the target objects are stolen, they are not marked as stolen in inventory.
Bugs[]
This section contains bugs related to The Burglary Job. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- Heimskr's House may also become a target. However, if the quest is triggered after completion of the quest Battle for Whiterun, it will be impossible to complete, as there is no longer any way to enter.
- In the quests where the Golden Urn or the Jeweled Candlestick (Solitude) must be stolen, upon returning to Vex, she explains that the Dragonborn 'got caught' or 'got arrested' and the quest will be failed even if they did not get actually get caught or arrested.
- PC (Fix) One can work around the issue by entering the console command
set TGRFailArrestVex to 0
.
- PC (Fix) One can work around the issue by entering the console command
- The above bug can also be encountered in radiant quests for Markarth resulting in the quest failing despite the Dragonborn neither being seen or arrested.
