So, I had the quest called Bronze Beneath the Lake, and I wanted to get rid of it, so that I could run with the Knights of the Crucible instead. So, the only way I could figure to get rid of it, was to kill the quest giver. As soon as the quest giver died, the quest failed. So, I'm happy right? Nope. I still can't get the quest and now I don't have a save game that I can reload to. So, I think I'm stuck. The Dozens hate me. The mob family hates me. And I can't get the Crucible quest.

I am having this same problem.
