BUG? Smuggler Slaves Cant Be Freed? [small spoiler]
   

I ran through the first four hours three times, just testing characters, and I think I've found a bug.

In the smuggler's cave there are three slaves held captive with bracelets - a Khajiit and 2 Argonians. The first time I played it through I found two keys inside the caves and freed them. The last 2 times I played it through I didn't receive a 'free them' dialogue option, despite having the keys.

Anyone else come across this? And if so, am I missing something or is this a genuine glitch?

I doubt I was in the same slaver's cave as you, but.....

I had a problem with using a key found in a slave cave up NORTH......(up by KHUUL)....I killed the baddies in the cave, saw the key lying on the table with a bunch of money surrounding it, took key, opened up caged area, spoke to the 5 inmates to free them (3 cats, 2 lizzies) and did NOT get the option to free them. I tried dropping adn picking up the key again, no dice. I even tried reloading from a previous saved game, still no dice.

I've been playing about 30 hours now, and would say I've found about 5 quest bugs. No idea if someone is noting them, working on them, or even concerned, but I have been dilligently been posting them on the Morrowind Official Forums. Here's hoping that a patch will at *least* fix the quest bugs.

Make sure your weapon is sheathed -- they didn't give me the 'free me' option when I had my sword out, but did as soon as I put it away. I believe they think you are threatening them, so of course won't free them, if you have a weapon out......

"I've been playing about 30 hours now, and would say I've found about 5 quest bugs"

There's certainly a bug involving Hasphat and the missing key, but that's been fixed in a plug-in. Other bugs if noted may well get picked up by players when making mods, so it might be worth making a thread just to cover bugs, and if the moderators are reading this perhaps they'd consider it worthwhile either making such a thread sticky or else even opening a separate forum for bug-reporting/fixing.

I'll give it a shot. If that's the reason you don't get the option, it would have been nice if there'd at least been a HINT to that effect.

Nonetheless, I'm still having the best with MW that I've ever had on any game - if game is even the appropriate term for this.

Hey, its a role-playing game with good AI! If you come up to me with a smile I'll talk to you, come up to me with a weapon drawn and I'll assume you're not my friend . Seems both fair and obvious to me.

Loremaster,

I'll also try the sword-seethed approach, but I think I was unarmed to begin with (using spells, having my hands out in front of me). I'll give it a shot...

I just wish the same logic (attitudes NPC give you when you have your sword out) would effect merchants, guards, etc. I know that is NOT the case. Would be surprising that slaves care, when no other NPC's do....

Where do you find the key to open the door there to free the slaves?

Just as a follow-up: I went back with both the Adammawhatever keys (the smuggler caves by Seyda Neen), sheathed my weapon and approached the slaves... and still no option to free. Nothing, zero, zip. I rechecked everywher for a third key, nothing.

This has to be a bug. I don't think I could free the slaves at another mine either, from memory. And I KNOW you can do it, because I did it on my very first game.

Any chance you have some plugins running while playing the game? Try this: unselect all of the "extra" plugins that you don't need, reload that game and see if you can free the slaves now. I had the exact same problem you did and it stemed from a plugin called "Bandit Cave" that took away some questions I could ask NPCs and somehow made it so that I couldn't free any slaves in the game. I unselected it and now everything works

Is there any benefit besides the moralic one from freeing the slaves anyway ?
