Dark Brotherhood: Contract Kvatch problem

Blackedge7 · January 2017

so I just started the darkbrotherhood quest line, and got my first contract for Kvatch to kill an npc named Bivale Moren.

I've been inside the quest circle area on the map for over an hour and have yet to see this NPC spawn. I've tried googling/looking on youtube/eso wikia's for the npc's spawn location and have found nothing.

Here's a link to a screenshot of the spot/npc name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Given that I've been here for over an hour and have checked all the buildings, I'm wondering if it's glitched or may be spawning outside the quest marked area?

Any help locating this npc would be greatly appreciated

Just did multiple laps around the town, found nothing. Unless this npc/target is spawning in some odd spot outside the quest circle, im thinking its bugged?

can i drop this contract for a new contract?

From personal experience and that of others, some of the contracts seem to bug (but who knows - maybe someone as ZOS believes a spawn timer in the hours is a good idea) and the best course of action is to abandon and go get a new contract.

I think the npc's may have in game timers, like day/night. that or they bug and just kinda randomly come back.

I picked up another contract the other day for a refugee camp in glenumbra. went there, waited around for over an hour, nothing.

I happened to go back there yesterday at a different time of day in game to drop off a crafting wirt and bam the npc for the contract was just there out in the open.

bug, or timer. no way of knowing which i guess.

But ya i ultimately abandoned the kvatch contract and grabbed a new one that worked fine. Kvatch was my first contract so I was unsure if abandoning would work.

Anywho, thanks for the reply

I had the same contract. I spent two hours there and ended up getting a couple murder achievements from all the people I killed so that was a plus. Ultimately Thai npc never came so I checked back the next day and they were still nowhere. I then learned that I could drop The Quest and get a new contract and there were no problems. I think the npc is bugged.
