westytw Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I recently stole an apple from Windhelm (devious i know) and developed a bounty, except now no guards offer me a chance to surrender, no yielding, no matter how many times i try. Believe me i have tried for the past 2 hours straight!!! Further i mananged to remove the bounty via console command, yet guards are still hostile to me and filled with never ending murderous rage. So i decided to make hast and run away, went on the lam avoiding the Eastmarch region for around 30 days and still no luck... So yet again i took to console command, it seems that no matter what i try they remain hostile, further any NPC's i attack (out of boredom and curiosity) then become never endingly hostile and STILL NO YIELDING WORKS! yet Guards are the only ones to remain hostile without my involvement and for no noticable reason. I've tried disabling them, resetting aggression levels, killing and resurrecting (hey i was desperate) and still nothing.Now i'm aware that logic dictates i should abandon all hope but this frustrates the hell out of me. It must be able to to be rectified, i mean what if i encounter this exact problem again. I've been on various forums and seen the same problems. So my plight is for anyone to suggest anything that might help! And also if anyone knows what it is that actually is causing this? Many thanks to anyone who can help or even takes the time to read this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Attack one of the guard, kill him and then put your weapon away - unless something is interfering with the process, the next guard up should have the dialogue. Your bounty will be higher, but it should fix the looping issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westytw Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Interesting i don't get a bounty for murdering any guards, it is as though it's self defence or they are registered as Bandits. I tried stealing instead, however and this did little to fix it, as the guards still cut me to pieces.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westytw Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 After further testing it appears that all guards in Eastmarch are by default aggressive, and can't be tamed through console command. Further they don't contribute if killed to any bounty, they just seem to function as Bandits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Definitely something interfering with their setup... You using any mods for AI or guards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westytw Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Non, and to add further mystery when i deactivated my mod list slowly over time (just in case) the problem still occurs.. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it's greatly appreciated and helps me vent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If you ever had (or still have) Civil War Overhaul, that makes guards who are allied with the other side of the CW conflict hostile to the player. Many of the effects of this mod may persist even after complete uninstall of the mod and will require a new game (or returning to a save from before the mod was first installed) to fix.

westytw Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Hmm... That would explain a lot considering how imperials have no beef with me. I recently created a new account and experienced the exact same problem, this time in solitude upon my first time entering, in this instance my allegiance wasn't sworn to either side... This is quite sucky if this is the case as i was really looking forward to being able to play Civil War Overhaul. Is there any possible fix? As in to get the mod functional?
