I know the answers to get solve the quest, but I've been holding onto this quest to solve it "legitimately".

The problem is that the book "Philosophy of Death" (which you are supposed to reference for the quest) is bugged - the pages are blank. So, when Nemris the Philosopher quizzes you on the material within the book, the questions make no sense and the player is stuck guessing at the answers.

Any chance a fix for this can make it into one of the patches?
