And old bug that still exists?

[Degasai]

After searching extensively, I found posts where many players experienced this bug...in 2012 and 2013. Nothing recent, at least that I found.

 

I've had the "Speak to the Leader of the Companions" quest since I was, maybe level 5 or so. I'm a year into the game (with a 5 month hiatus to play FO4), and am now level 70. Time to start at the bottom and clear out some miscellaneous quests, right?

 

I head into Jorvaskarr and downstairs to talk to Koldak. All the Companions are hostile and attack me on sight. Reading the huge amount of posts about this same problem when the game first released, I'll get some things out of the way:

 

I entered Jorvaskarr alone, without followers.

 

I am crime-free in Whiterun.

 

I am not now, and have never been, a vampire or a werewolf. I have killed lots of vampires. Not sure about werewolves, but probably one or two as part of another quest, maybe? At any rate, that should not have caused this issue, from what I can learn about the factions involved in the CK.

 

I *think* this started over by Riften a few days ago. There is a farm west of Riften with a Troll spawn nearby. As myself and 3 followers were riding by, we wound up in a fight. I thought it was just the troll spawn, but it turned out to be Athis and Vilgnar (sp?) with the Companions. Neither myself or my followers are using AOE spells, but it's possible they got in the way of an arrow or a Thunderbolt spell. Hard to tell, since they were mostly invisible due to a bug caused by a Havok hair mod bug.

 

Anyone have a solution on how to fix this? I'm not even sure what caused it! I could probably console a faction command, but I'm afraid that would irretrievably break the Companions quest line. It's not a huge deal. It's been sitting in my quest journal for over a year, so it's not a game-breaker for me. Still, if I can fix it, I would like to.

 

Thank for any help :)

The answer to the vast majority of these issues is in the Wiki pages:

UESP Wiki: Jorrvaskr

 

"

• One or more of the Companions inside or behind Jorrvaskr may attack you on sight for no apparent reason. They will not accept your yield, and may not be killable due to being tagged as essential. ?

 

• Commit a minor crime, such as assault, in front of a Whiterun guard, then clear your bounty. This should end their hostility immediately, even if they are in the middle of attacking you."

Always check the Wiki first - before googling the forums :wink: .

Of course the problem might be, you might think you need to know how to spell Jorrvaskr. I just look up Whiterun and follow the links :smile:

I checked both wiki's. Must have missed that one. Thanks :)
