Xbox – Can’t go to jail in Markarth

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrimxbox-360

I've killed a jailer in Markarth. Well I went werewolf and slaughtered everybody in the Minra mines or however you pronounce it. Much later in the game I killed a whole caravan of Imperial Eleves, didn't like their tone with me and slaughtered them on the spot, I was watched by two bystanders and I left.

I later met with guards near Markarth saying that I had been caught for those crimes. I agreed to go to jail, but it never takes me there, I just end up going back to the dialogue box with my question to the guard "How can I help you?". I can basically go into an infinite loop of saying "Take me to jail" and he never takes me there. I really have some unfinished business in that city.

Is there a Leupold around this?

The Markarth Guard glitch can happen after completing the two Falmar quests. There are several ways of combating this bug other than reloading a previous save file:

  • Revisit the Shrine of Talos in Markath and clearing out the gaurds again.
  • Trade Markarth for Riften at the peace talks.
  • Become Thane of the Reach.

The bug is listed on Bethesda's forum in the bug report topic.
