I’m having a major issue with the “Turning a Blind Eye” quest in the Thieves Guild after giving the stone to the Gray Fox. It tells me to wait, but I’ve literally been waiting in-game for ages! I’ve already fenced plenty of goods (about 1200), and I’ve tried reloading previous saves and doing different things, but nothing seems to trigger the next event. The Gray Fox is still sitting in his chair in Bravil and hasn’t moved a bit. I played this on Xbox 360 years ago, and I never encountered this problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You might want to try just waiting around in the Imperial City for a few days. Sometimes, an NPC needs to physically approach you to trigger the next part of the quest. It’s kind of awkward, but it might just work! Good luck!
I had a similar problem before! What worked for me was waiting a few days in the city, but that still didn’t trigger it for me. I ended up having to find a Thieves Guild member in a shack by the waterfront to talk to directly—they then set me on the next part of the quest.
Do you remember which NPC that was? I’ve seen guides saying it’s the Argonian from the rescue mission, but he’s just been giving me the same generic lines. Maybe I’m doing something wrong!
I waited for like 2-3 in-game weeks and nothing happened either. Even after leaving the game alone for a while, I still didn’t get any action. I found the exact NPC who should start the quest, and he just kept giving me the same boring dialogue as every other guild member.
