Can't start "Names of the Fallen" (Trolhetta Cave/The Rift) - No Amulet from dead Soldiers

Title describes it all: after interacting with the dead soldier in Trolhetta Cave (or precisely: interacting with any dead pact soldier in that area with a "new-quest-marker") the quest "Names of the Fallen" is not triggered. There's also no amulett inserted into my inventory, which could be used to trigger it manually.

If it makes a difference: I've played that quest twice some time ago with pact-characters (Nord and Argonian) without any problems, this is the first time I'm playing in the Rift with a non-pact-character (Altmer).

    Additional technical information (if relevant): I'm playing on PC, EU-Server. Diabling addins does not solve the error.

    Update: The issue persist's with Update 25 and also effects other chars of mine (today I tried with a Bosmer Warden to start the quest).

    one note, considering that I've had problems with this off and on, sometimes they change exactly how it is triggered. Check quest items, and see if there's one that you need to use. That sometimes is how I start it, whereas usually it's supposed to be a dialog without having to use the quest item.

    I've googled bugs for that quest before, so I had an eye on my inventory - there is no (new) amulett that could have come from the dead soldier. But thanks anyway for the hint.

    Meanwhile, several months have passed and nothing has changed! Quest still can't be started with any of my characters.

    @ZOS: how about a status message?
    Are you able to re-create the reported bug? Are you incestigating? Will it be fixed?

    I believe you can pick up the amulet by killing soldiers in the cave/tunnel from the bottom of Trolhetta to the top and it will show up in your inventory. Have a vague memory of that happening to me. Not 100% positive, but it might be worth a try.

    As I stated earlier, there is no new amulet picked up by my characters - there's no progress at all in any way. I can interact with the dead soldier a hundred times without any change; no amulet no message about a starting quest and 'new quest'-marker stays pointing to the corpse.

    It also doesn't make a difference if I interact with any other of the dead soldiers lying around in Trolhetta, I tried them all with several chars.

    This bug report is now seven(!) months old, several patches and updates have been released and NOTHING happened!

    No follow up questions, no status indication, not even a note, that this is under investigation in any way.
    The quest still doesn't start, no matter how often I trigger one of the dead soldiers.

    ZOS, please either fix that quest or simply de-activate/remove it from the game. I know there's a lot more to do than fixing that quest, but seven months without any change or message is just ridiculous!

    I agree.
    I tried it again 2 days ago and the quest still won't start.

    At least put it on a to-do list or something.

    Please check your inventory AND bank for the pact amulett - that's where I had accidently stored it with one character which blocked the quest for all my other chars.

    That was it!!! Thank you!

    Same thing happened to me.. the last three characters I ran through The Rift quests, I couldn't figure out what the quest markers on the dead guys were for. Finally decided to look it up this time, and bam.. sure enough, there was a Pact Amulet in my bank.

    This could easily avoided if that amulett would be classified as quest item - not sure why it is not.
