thatguy97 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) This bug has ruined my Skyrim experience for me as a warrior.I wanted to play as a badass warrior and tried to join The Companions. Now I have to train with Vilkas so he can test me. This is were the problem apears. He keeps saying "What do you think this is? We don't use magic around here, Newblood. Now come at me!"He also draws and sheaths his sword over and over.I've never use magic on this character! I don't even own any enchanted weapons or armor!! I don't have any bounty in any city either... Please tell me there is a solution!Thanks in advance. Edited June 25, 2012 by thatguy97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing what you're running for mods, if anything, I'll be guessing... but here's a couple of ideas for you: version 1.6 of Enhanced Blood Textures has a bug that causes problems with brawls. Updating or disabling would fix it (follow the mod author's instructions for updating his mod or more issues can be created). Also, if you're running anything that effects dialogue, like the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, it will conflict with the Skyrim 1.6 update causing dialogue and quest issues.

Tsewe Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) HiI am making mod by adding stuff to Whiterun.I have never changed anything to Jorrvaskr, especially not to existing NPCs such as Vilkas, yet I encounter the same problem. Turning my mod off for this joining companion fight seems to be the only way now. I really really don't understand this one. Anyone has an idea to fix it? *EDIT: it seems to happen even with Vanilla Skyrim with my other savefiles Edited August 19, 2012 by Tsewe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glion Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Were you by any chance using an ENCHANTED WEAPON!? Because that is considered magic to the Companions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zMiiChy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 For anyone who has this problem later on and tries to search it like I did, here's what I did to fix it. I tried absolutely everything I found in all of these forums and everywhere else and nothing worked (I'm on Ps3, but it may help anyone else). Keep in mind that I did do everything else that was suggested, so this alone may not work. I loaded an old save (about 13 hours before) and talked to some people then pickpocketed someone and got caught. While everyone was attacking me, I loaded my recent save and was able to talk to Vilkas again. I was not able to finish that quest, but I didn't really try to solve that. I was just happy that my game wasn't broke anymore and continued doing everything else. So for anyone who searched for a solution to this and found nothing like I did, hopefully this will help.

Same thing happened with me. I even reloaded a savegame before starting the quest and it still didn't work. I stripped naked (first my character, then in real life) and put everything in a barrel. just in case there was a mod-added equipment that was throwing me off. I have over 200 mods loaded, different races, clothing, weapons... I got some UNENCHANTED vanilla weapons and armors, equipped just the weapons, NO SPELLS. Then, IMPORTANT PART:I opened console, clicked on Vilkas.Typed "disable" hit enterthen "enable" hit enter. If done correctly he should disappear then reappear.Closed Console and attacked. Completed quest after a couple attacks. Edited January 3, 2013 by luvandfeelins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooker75 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 You might try shield bashing him. A few good whacks is all it takes. I stripped naked (first my character, then in real life) and put everything in a barrel. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writhes Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Here is the solution I have found. Basically, even if he spams his "we dont use magic" phrase eventually he will move on to the next phase of the quest as long as he isn't knocked out in one hit. First gear your character so that vilkas can take a few hits without being incapacitated. Gimp yourself if you have to.Second disregard anything he says and keep attacking him.
