    Oh, now i 'C', lol ( * & ^ )
    Finally realized it is supposed to be about 'friends' online, lol; i thought it was about 'enemies' online, hmm
    Well, i can (must) buy the darkwood (?) sry, lol; blackwood expansion to get the companions, right? i'm looking into it right now.
    If they gonna put companions in the game, i'm a fool to say no (and be a f2p peon grinder, lol; feel for u, i used to do to) ;#)

    I encountered today what seems to me an unintended bug, with the Nightblade swallow soul skill and the Arcanist skill tome-bearer's inspiration.

    When you have the tome skill active and you use swallow soul, the heal effect from swallow soul always applies to the damage caused by the tome skill, instead of the damage caused by swallow soul, this greatly reduces the amount and effectiveness of the heal. Given that the swallow soul skill states that the heal is based on the damage done (by swallow soul), this seems to me a bug.

    Third skill line is Aedric Spear, happens in PVE,PVP, and on target dummy. Sets are Oakensoul, Soulcleaver, and Deadric Trickery, no add-ons. Thank you.

    Are there any updates on fixing the Subclass quest bug, where alot of us cant finish the quest? This has been a thing for a while and it seems as though it should be fixed by now.

    Not only did it happen on the second character i attempted to subclass, but every subsequent character after that and now alot of us just have a permanent quest that we cant abandon stuck in our quest logs.

    Any updates on that? Will it be fixed in Update 47?

    EDIT: The quest is still bugged for picking skills that youve already leveled to 50, but the quest bug gets fixed if you pick a skill that isnt level 50. Seems like its an easy fix for me, but that still could be an issue for people who have the skills all at level 50.

    Chiming in here to report I'm experiencing the same bug. Quest is stuck at "Subclass a skill" despite having leveled Winter's Embrace on my Templar all the way to 50.

    I still have the subclassing quest bug. Because of this, I also cannot choose a second subclassing skill line, so it's not merely a bug that prevents the quest from completing in my journal. It also prevents me from accessing that aspect of gameplay - two subclassing lines and one base class line on impacted characters. For characters that do not have the bug, I can choose two subclassing lines without difficulty.

    It's clear from this thread that I'm not the only one for whom the fix during the recent patch didn't work. Are there any updates on this?

    I assume the subclassing quest is still bugged? The answer https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/70613 states this was 'resolved', but also says you haven't pushed a fix:
    This issue will not prevent you from unlocking and gaining access to Subclassing on your characters. The quest will just get "stuck" and won't be able to be completed in your quest log until we push the fix.
    So, I guess we are still waiting for this fix?

    I just checked with one character who had the quest stuck in her questlog, and she could finish it now...

    It would have been nice if they mentioned it somewhere but I also didn't see it adressed anywhere; or I just missed the post.

    I cant complete this quest. I have tried everything mentioned in the many, many different websites and forum posts.
    It is stuck on 'Subclass a New Skill LIne' and nothing I do progresses the quest

    ..nvm i figured it out. i was using a controller and the UI did not show nearly enough
    i have to use akeyboard to see the ui with the steps to complete it

    tldr you cant finish it with a controller on pc you need to use the keyboard to show the right ui

    I used a keyboard and mouse but still can't complete the quest.
    This is the 3rd char this has happened to.

    Please fix this.

    Currently if you're doing the introductory Quest, one stage requires you to Subclass into a Skill Line that hasn't been Subclassed by any other character yet, otherwise the prompt will say "Equip" instead of "Subclass". If you equip the line, the Quest does not progress.

    But then if you do choose a line that has the Subclass prompt in order to progress and complete the Quest, the UI continues to say you're Subclassing into that first line you chose, even after you pay the extra 1,500 to equip the Skill Line you originally wanted after.

    So now the UI says my Templar is Subclassing in Green Balance when it instead has Siphoning equipped.
