Friendship's Due Trask Bug

[Ahfrodisiac]

Not sure if this has happened to others or not, but when attempting to do the companion quest for Felix, Friendship's Due, i'm having a slight "issue". I'm supposed to meet up with an NPC on Emerald Vale, but upon coming within 110m-160m the quest suddenly updates from "Confront Trask" to "Collect Trask's Ring". Upon getting to where Trask is located, I find him dead, and with several of those dog type enemies directly next too him. It appears that they're either A) spawning on top of him, killing him, and then dying to his Outlaw buddies around him. Or B) since I never came to this area prior, the enemies in it have not de-spawned, and thus once he spawns in from me being close enough, draws aggro and dies. I've reloaded my save multiple times, waited for the day/night cycles to pass, and yet nothing works. If anyone else has encountered this bug, and has a solution to it, please let me know. I want to talk with him and find alternate ways to complete the quest aside from having to kill him. Thank you for your time.

I'm also hitting a bug with this quest, but it's a bit different. For me, the quest is immediately marked as 'botched' as soon as Felix gives it to me. I was actually able to follow all the steps from the dialogue and manually find the quest NPCs. Though I ultimately found Trask, he won't talk to me, so I tried pickpocketing his ring, which allowed me to bring it back to Harlow and use Lie to seemingly complete the quest, though I didn't get any XP and the quest is still marked as 'botched'. I've reloaded to before I stole Trask's ring and I'm hoping this can be patched, since I'd really like to hear his side of the story and properly complete Felix's mission!
