Is it safe to drop a quest midway through so I can redo the quest?

Bazeric

I can't remember if it's safe to drop a quest when the last thing to do is turn in. The quest I was doing had a cool zone I wanted to explore, but I'm locked out of now. I am wondering if I can drop the quest and start it again to get back?

You should be able to restart any quest without issue. I can’t speak to your specific case with this zone, though.

It's the Quest for the Edrald Estate, there is a small plain of Oblivion there that I wanted to look around more. There are so many awesome little places like this that you go to once and get locked out of.

Not familiar with that quest. I have never encountered a bug with canceling a quest and restarting it. But you should probably wait for someone more experienced to chime in here. If you’re on PC, you can get on the PTS if you really want to test this without risking your character. Or make an alt

You can quit and restart any quest in the game, besides the main story as far as I'm aware. Have fun.

Yes, you should be able to drop the Quest and get a complete do-over... whatsis will run right back up to you all "help! help!"
& if anything goes wonky you can put in a ticket

Have fun in Oblivion, take pictures!

Thanks I thought I read here that on occasion it can be buggy. I want a do over so I can take a photo actually! I thought if I'd clear some of the quest I could lose the markers, but for this one it boots you out when you finish a certain part.

EDIT:Dropped it and fun thing is it was literally a quest where the guy runs up yelling "Help!" A lot of good writing in the game, but sometimes... lol.

Dropping quests works, only issue is finding the quest giver again.

You might want to drop the quest in group dungeon if you enter an dungeon late in the progress, if you want the quest storry just drop it and pick it up on an later run.
