You don't have a choice whether or not to take the quest. Also, "Amandin Platier" topic should be reworked to avoid journal updates before accepting the quest,
While checkig the pieces requested for this claim https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/hlaalu-iron-railings-and-decorations, I found that the original pieces have a lot of bleeders, will post just a few screenshots, to keep size of post reduced, probably best to tackle this one after the claim gets merged in order to not work twice. For the bespoke balconies I made the sides a bit shorted to help with avoing the poles bleeding into the walls.
As title says. It's very easy to get stuck when walking up and down these spiral staircases. I was playing as a Nord, had speed 100, and while I never got so stuck that I had to teleport, the stairs are still super janky. I would imagine that for an Altmer PC it would be even worse.
When I save Dagmund's apprentice from being stuck in the rafters because of the levitation experiment failure, I go straight to the Firewatch MG guildhall. But the questgiver, Halan Macrinus, refuses to give me new duties, mentioning that I should save the girl first.
