Choixth Surreptitiously Shadowed bug (rare?)

kenyoni · January 2019

Greetings,

Platform: Xbox One

I have now run into Choixth 5 times in Murkmire in 5 different locations. Each time, when I get near, she says "Watch your step. You never know what might jump out of the murk to kill you."

I then engage her and she says ""So, you decided to take up my invitation? Followed me all the way out into the middle of nowhere? I'm flattered, and you're lucky."

My choice at this point is "Goodby". That's it. No other dialog options. And I don't get the "Cross Paths with Choixth for the First Time" achievement point.

I can find only one comment referencing this: (comment #4 of the thread) https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5679650#Comment_5679650

Since I can find no one else complaining about this, it's probably a rare corner case or some condition that prevents the dialog from progressing.

thanks for any help on this,
kenyoni.

You are not alone! I had the same issue and didn't get the achievement either, on PC/NA.

I bet it's related to this bug:

So, @ZOS_GinaBruno, I think the actual bug is:

Some Murkmire achievements are not being recorded, specifically for the "Swamp Rescuer" and "Surreptitiously Shadowed" achievements..

Just to keep this active, I'm having the same issue.

Any time I try and progress the achievement: "Surreptitiously Shadowed" with the NPC Choixth in Murkmire, and can reproduce a crash in the game client.

It also doesn't allow the achievement to progress. I've had my 'first' encounter with her 5x now, and the achievement doesn't record it.

I'm on PC-EU.

- The first time I talk to her (she always uses the 'first time encounter dialogue'), I choose <Remain Silent> every time until she cracks.
- The second time I talk to her within the same encounter, I choose <Remain Silent> once, then "Fine, I'll talk"
- If I try to talk to her a 3rd time, the game client crashes, and the error log pops up.

I've been able to reproduce this twice in the same way.

I've submitted a ticket, with the reference: 230325-002011

I am having the exact same issue on PSNA. It has crashed my game application four times so far, twice today alone just as an experiment.

And to add, I did do the "A Book and it's Cover" achievement prior to attempting to speak with Choixth if that may or may not matter.
