In the Heironymous Lex quest where you are supposed to 'help' him get a new job, I can't find the forger. I am in Anvil and the homeless guy tells me that he is in the house next to the Mage's Guild. I go to the abandoned house at the appointed times and nobody is there. If I follow the indicator on my compass, it points to an empty bench in the castle. I am on the 360 so no console cheat will work. Anyone run into this?
Sounds strange. Have you tried waiting outside/inside the house for a full 24 hours? Or a detect life spell on the empty bench? Maybe he's invisible.
There might ba a chance that the character is dead, I'm afraid. I've seen some others say that arrows are pointing towards dead quest-characters, like one of the counts in the Aid for Bruma quest.
