Forever Mourning

I’m trying to get 100% Achievements in Skyrim completed before the expansion pack comes out later this month. So far, I’m down to just one left: “Glory of the Dead.” It’s the Achievement you ear for completely “The Companions” storyline. Only problem is: due to a glitch in the game called, “Forever Mourning,” I can’t complete it. After collecting the witches’ heads and returning to Jorvaskr (I’m not going to bother to check if I spelt that right, and if I did it would only make me madder than if I hadn’t), I find that there’s been a fight with the Silver Hand and Kodiak has been killed. The current quest finishes, and the next never comes up, meaning I can’t continue. It has something to do with the Helm of Winterhold quest being active in my logbook. I’ve waited patiently for a patch to fix this issue, and it hasn’t. There’ve been patches resolving the overall issue, but nothing that works with any current in-progress save.

I finally gave up and went back 21 levels to an older save and plodded through three quests to get back to the point where I was at, only to be cock-blocked, as it were, by the same glitch. I’m in the middle of trying again with the “wait 32 days in-game,” to resolve the issue, and if that doesn’t work, the only thing I can do is start from scratch, which will be brutal.

This is all on 360, by the way. I’m also mad at my 360 for misleading information of the game-box saying the bargain bin copy of Crackdown I bought was 2-players. It is, but only by Xbox Live or system-link. Last I checked, that wasn’t two player. That was one player, with someone else playing somewhere else. What happened to all the split-screen 2-player games? Look how successful Castle Crasher is. A lot of that’s due to the fact that more than one person can play at the same time in the same room.
