'The Senche' quest bugged

Kaizxen

In Moonhenge, Haras sends you to the Hound skeleton to start the hunt for the white Senche, and the quest hints for the player to crouch and look for a trail. So, standing on the skeleton, I crouched and saw the first highlighted bush.

Once I got to the bush, it had an interaction available. Unfortunately, the interaction didn't do anything, and there was no further trail to the quest objective.

I was able to finish the quest by looking up the location of the white Senche online, but the quest itself is buggy.

It was working fine for me a couple of days ago. There is no need for any interaction as far as I remember. Finding the next bushes is quite difficult though and you have to crouch most of the time. You won't be able to see the next bush if you look from the previous one. Sneak around a bit into different directions.

Took me some time to figure out which way to go, but I don't think this is really bugged at the moment

For every other quest of this type (crouch to follow a trail), once you reached a marked bush, you could see the next one, so that's honestly what I was expecting.

I did wander around in various directions while crouched and didn't see the next trail marker at all, although I'm not sure how far from the first bush I needed to wander to see it.

I'll admit, it was difficult to notice even the first bush because the yellowish glow blended into the surrounding terrain, so it's quite possible that I didn't see it.

Hey there @Kaizxen,

For this quest, you simply need to follow the trail to reach the tiger. You shouldn't need to activate the bushes to progress. If you run into an issue where the next bush can't be found easily, or doesn't appear at all, please submit a /bug report and we'll be happy to take a look. We're glad to hear you were able to finish the quest!

When you make an item in the game world interactive and nothing happens when you use it, the player assumes there is something broken... which often is... It's just bad design at the moment. At least put a message in like "You found tracks of the the tiger" or something and put the quest marker to the current location... That way everybody would know it is working.

Yea, I've done that quest a lot, never had it be intractable. They make it pretty obvious from the quest dialog the objectives and hints that you just need to follow the path... And this is why bugs aren't getting fixed people, because people send in tickets about nonsense and slow everything down.

The bushes are interactable, in that it brings up the 'E' interaction prompt right in the middle of the screen. However, the interaction does nothing. Therefore, one way or another, it is a bug. If the bushes are not intended to be interactable, the prompt to interact should not show up. If they are intended to be interactable, then the interaction is not working.

Regardless of how obvious you think it is, your post is utterly unhelpful and ultimately a waste of server resources. Thank you for playing, but troll elsewhere.

No, it's a side quest in one of the Aldmeri zones.
