Glitch?..or something else? Options

[faus182]

Hey guys, I don't think this is a spoiler or anything so I apologize if some consider it to be "revealing."

I'm currently playing Oblivion on Xbox, and I'm trying to complete all the Mages Guild quests. I'm done with all of them except the one with Falcear where you have to go down in the well and retrieve the Ring of Burden for him.

The problem is that I went down there and there was the body sitting there, but I had no way of getting the ring so I went back up. Now...when I'm ready to get the ring...everytime I go down there the body is nowhere to be found and the green quest arrow is pointing into the wall.. I've tried to go down there many different times and its the same thing. Does anyone know if I need to go down the well at a specific time or is this a glitch?

Thanks,
Faus

I think it might be Bethseda going stupid, bodies naturally disappear over time but you can set it so they don't, obviously this is a body they forgot to set not to disappear. I don't even remember if you need to get the ring of burden but anyway, how to add it to your inventory, open the console and type player.additem 0002E5AC 1
