"house of horros"

[diazm7]

I am in the middle of this quest, and i did everything i needed to do in the house the first time, but when i went to leave the door was locked with the need of a key to leave, so i thought it was just a glitch and slept in the bed, but being that I killed gelod(that old bat running the orphanage) the DB showed up and that incedentaly got me out of that house, but when i went back to the house (i released the guy i needed to) the door was still locked with the need of a key...
Any thoughts???

I can't really remember doing this quest clearly, but did you loot the guy that you went in with initially? I believe he had the key to the abandoned house. If it all comes down to it, there's a console command that you can use to unlock doors.

unlock - Target the desired chest or door by clicking on it and then type "unlock"

The console command could possibly work if you are on pc but otherwise you are probably screwed. At the point where you reach the locked door you have to be patient and the next event will happen after about 30 seconds.

yea sorry, i invisibly put down im on the 360. i looted the body, im fairly sure, but i dont care, i got far enough into the quest to make the world stop shaking, that shi* was anoying for sure. but i dont really care, its not like i was gunna use the malog's mace anyway...

Yeah must be a glitch or something I finished the quest with no problem

It's not really a glitch it's just two quests that interfered with each other. And for the record I'm still swinging that mace at 31

I believe this is the house in Markarth, where you need to speak with a "mace" in the basement to continue the quest. On a PC there are ways to fix a similar situation, but I do not know how to go around this bug on Xbox.
