SOLVED IN THIS THREAD! Woo hoo!!!

MAY WHATEVER GOD YOU BELIEVE IN BLESS YOUR CRAZY GAMING LIFE, HadToRegister! After 2 weeks of this issue, it is resolved. Aela no longer stalks me like a crazy evil automaton. I am indebted!

HardToRegister, that helped. I did get Aela back to existence... but she is simply back to her merciless following march. The dialogue has no release option. Just more training or new job. The new job option reminds me I have an open errand for Farkas. I think I am glitched now with this HIRCINE TOTEM question. No map marker. I believe I closed it out. But it says she wants to go to Cronvangr Hall with me. I took her to Cronvangr Cave and she just stands there asking me the same two things. the cave and lower level are cleared. I cannot kill her. I cannot complete the quest she is following me over. I cannot order her to leave. I cannot pick up new companions. Stumped.

Well, a while back, I was haunted by a slowly marching, unstoppable Aela the Huntress. Like a merciless Terminator she marched on me.... a steady walk over the horizon toward me... always finding me... always dialog blocking me (without an option to release her)... merciless... endless. \ After discussing this in an old thread, I somehow used the console 'deactivate' command to sto pthe unending torment... but now I cannot figure out how to reactivate her... since I cannot remember where I was when I banished her. THE CHALLENGE: My friendly neighborhood Cultists need a sacrifice... so I have to bring some fresh meat to this pole (is that too sexual?)... anyway, no one will follow me because I still have Aela officially on board. THE STUCK QUEST WITH AELA: Apparently, I have the Totems of Hircine quest open where Aela was actually following me to try to find Cronvangr Hall. However, when I track that quest, it no longer leaves any markers on my map. I did find Cronvangr CAVE and have cleared it... twice... I cannot remember if I got the Totem the first time through... It has been many gaming hours since them. SO: Is there a way to force her release? To do such, I may need help closing out this Hircine Totem nonsense since I seem to have completed it, but the quest won't close... likely because I deactivated that incessant woman. HELP! Scott

So I set about my killing and popped upon the bug that gets mentioned in Markarth. All the Jarl's court turned on me, but I couldn't kill them. Then the guard's dialogue got buggy. The couldn't send me to prison because I already broke out, but they couldn't do anything else with me.... and I couldn't kill the Jarl's Court. lather. Rinse. Repeat. So, after a few whacks at "paycrimegold" it balanced out. But, not as satisfying as I had hoped... LOL

It is 7:46 am and I am off to begin the slaughter! Thanks for the advice! I shall report back on the bloodbath.

I find Markarth irritating and tedious. I think I am simply going to start killing anyone who bothers me here... Which I guess will include ever guard. Big risk? LOL

Oh yes... I finished the Silver Hand a long while back. I am Harbinger of the Companions these days... I think I may have deactivated her and forgot where I did that, as she has vanished completely. LOL

Gofortheko -- Any idea which quest that is? I seem to have about 40 open quests... I am willing to try that! At this point, I am willing to try anything! Bombomb - I tried that... but if we have the same problem, your companion is slowly marching toward wherever you are... It may take a few days.. but he will find you!

OK... So I tried the disable / enable trick. She was merciless. I waited like 10 mins in between. As soon as I enabled, her relentless march toward me to dialogue me to death began anew. I tried the near kill and Unrelenting Force shout. She stood up, said I fight well, and the began her merciless repetition again. So I can't kill her... I can't escape her.

Fixed the shout issue. Shout didn't help me shake my stalker. Unless someone has some advice, I fear my only solution will be to murder Aela.

So I even returned to Jorrvaskr... hoping that might reset her once she stalked me there. I believe I will have to kill her. Any advice on this Shout bug?

ARGH!!!! SO I am not wearing the Amulet (or any Amulet right now), but this woman WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE! I think they programmed her TOO much like a real woman... (Sorry... LOL) So I decided to look into MajinCry's suggestion when I realize that I apparently am suffering from some sort of SHOUT bug as well... I realized that, although I have absorbed MANY dragon souls, when I click to learn a new shout, it tells me that I must have dragon souls to learn that shout. I am LEVEL 28... I do not care to start over. GRRRR!

I have never asked her to follow me, but the other night in the middle of Solitude, she sneaks up on me and starts a conversation. There are no new dialogue options, so I move on. She walks slowly behind... So I run. She does not run! So, I get away. I fast travel to White Run... then hours later I am out exploring the area around White Run and slowly over the horizon marches Aela... she corners me and presents the same useless dialogue options. Every time I tried to walk away, the system forced dialogue again. So, I blasted her and ran again. Now, today, in the random eastern hinterlands... she get me again. I am about ready to kill her, but that seems drastic to handle this bug. My only dialog options with her are: Can you train me in Archery? I'm looking for work. The first she cannot train me as I am already 5/5 for this level The second, I am already running errands for the other Companion guy I tried picking up one of my other followers, but they say I already have a follower... which I do. HOW CAN I DITCH THIS GIRL WITHOUT KILLING HER? HELP! |Scott
