I want to do the Jarl's quest in Falkreath to be able to build a house.
I seem to be stuck at the "Kill the Bandit Leader" quest.
- I was sent to kill the Bandit Leader in Knifepoint Ridge.
- I had not been there previously.
- I killed the leader and returned to Siddgeir.
- I talk to him and click the Reward dialogue option.
- He says he will give me the reward but doesn't give me anything, and
if I choose to talk to him again I can still see the reward dialogue
option. - Clicking it simply doesn't complete the quest.
This is frustrating! Skyrim is a great game but these critical bugs are STILL present.

I solved it by following this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Use-the-Skyim-Console-to-Get-Past-Broken-Quests-on-the-PC-242822.shtml. Here is what I did:
Open console, then type
ShowQuestTargets
. Use pageup and pagedown on your keyboard to find your quest that is stuck, in my caseFavor154
. TypePlayer.sqs Favor154
in the console to see your progress (stage). Finally, typeSetStage Favor154 20
. 20 is the stage that was stuck for me, the dialogue with Siddgeir.
