The world event is called 'The Horn of Ragnar'. It involves a breaking and entering . The NPC required to start the mission and progress it is dead in front of the house upon first meeting and remains as such after reloading saves and restarting my ps4 console.
The video below will demonstrate the current situation (and possibly a terrible mistake of how i handled such a situation)
@oldmacjesusxl I am sorry to hear that you are unable to start this quest.
If you fast travel to another location and then return to this quest, is the NPC still dead?
