Wait, two blocks? That's wild. I knew the construction messed things up but I figured they'd put it back once the work wrapped. A lane that spits you out at the worst corner is worse than no lane at all, since it tricks you into thinking you're safe.

Skyrim quest markers have a real sense of humor, huh. They'll point you straight to a corpse like that's gonna help somehow. Turning tracking off and on again really is the Bethesda fix for everything, next they'll tell us to just blow on the cartridge. Your workaround sounds solid though, at least the quest moved. On PC you could probably also hit it with a console command to set the stage, but that gets messy if you don't know the quest ID.

Learned this the hard way back when I was younger and thought a dab of grease on studs was just good sense. Then I had a Malibu where the owner did all four wheels that way and every single lug nut came off way under spec, like 60 ft-lbs when they should've been 100. The threads were so slick the nut backed off on its own over a few thousand miles, which is way scarier than a stuck one. Now I tell people dry threads and clean studs, every time, no exceptions.
