I had no problems either. This is a good example of why managing your
saves is important. I don't even think about it anymore, its instinct.
TES games are awesome but they are also buggy. Its a fact you accept
and love htem anyway or you get frustrated with an hate them for.

I use the console save command because I can't stand the way the game
manages saves on its own. Each of my characters has a save with their
name (Tandaina for example).

At the end of a play session, or after I've FINISHED a big quest, etc.
I save to that file. Its the "master" save. This save gets updated
every night, so at most I would loose, what a few hours of play time.
Not a big deal. Then, I use quick save a LOT. Its what I will use to
recover if I die, get caught stealing something at a bad time, etc.

During play sessions I will also save before I start a mission. So I
might make a save called "Tand Ring Mission". If that quest gets
screwed up I reload the quest save and try it again. My main save is
still safe. At the end of hte night I save to my master file and
delete the quest saves. The master file ONLY gets saved to in a "safe"
state.

Its not hard, it doesn't take any time and it saves a HECK of a lot of
headaches. Learn, and use, the console save command!

~
save Tandaina
or
~
save "Tand Ring Mission"

Its also a VERY good idea to make regular backups of your save games,
especially before installing mods. If the mod messes something up its
good to have a clean game to go back to.

The way I fixed this quest was the hard way. Loaded a save from prior
to stealing the ring. Went in again, making sure I stole only one
ring. Gave up a good fencable item that way, but I don't think there
should have been 2 of the rings anyway.

Ok folks, no need for me to download the construction kit or to trash
those 70+ hours.

Open the console and type "player.removeitem 0035E95 1" (no quotes) and
press enter.

I've tried it and it works perfectly.

Thanks to Aiyana and percivalskald over at the elderscrolls.com forums.

Saving more regularly? Not my style I'm afraid and besides, 94 hours
and only one bug?
That's not too shabby by my reckoning.

Regards

Steve

Oops I forgot, Save the change to a plugin file, and add the file to the
data when you start OB. (Just in case you didn't know
