Muskflies in Bal Oyra

Description: 

The quest “Muckflies in Bal Oyra” doesn’t start automatically when you enter Bal Oyra. The only way to pick up the quest is to use the console to set the quest to stage 10. Otherwise the quest wasn’t in my journal, and I couldn’t talk about the topic “Muskflies” with Tibera Rone. The bug was in both the OpenMW and Vanilla engine.

I didn’t know the quest doesn’t start unless you’re level 10+. I guess it’s not a bug then. Should the level requirement be lower? Honestly I don’t think it’s a big deal, but if other people have a problem with it, then I guess it can be changed.

Yeah, I did the quest in an earlier playthrough. My character must’ve been past level 10, but I never realized that it wasn’t available for lower levels. I didn’t want to report a bug that wasn’t there, so I checked the UESP to make sure that I wan’t doing anything wrong. That’s also where I found out the quest ID for the journal. I thought maybe TR had cut the quest out for some reason, but I couldn’t find a forum thread about it, so I assumed it was a bug.

Added level requirement on UESP,

Muskflies aren’t that dangerous but now I remember having been severely annoyed by them when playtesting this region, even though the character must’ve been high level enough… will leave the level requirement as is for now.
