guale Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've done a bit of searching to try and figure out the cause of this or at least a way to fix it but to no avail. Console commands have changed so much since Morrowind I simply don't know any of them anymore. So recently I was out for a leisurely stroll when a group of Thalmor attacked me and I thought nothing of it, I'm pretty far into the civil war quest line and have been slaughtering them on sight anyway. At some point a few Vigilant got caught in the crossfire of a battle with some Thalmor and turned hostile to me and had to be put down. After that ALL Vigilant are hostile to me, including the essential one in Markarth. A minor annoyance since none of them are very strong and I hadn't intended to do his quest anyway. Now I discover the Companions are all hostile to me for no reason, I haven't attacked any of them or stolen from them or anything. This is a problem since I was heading into Jorvaskr and was attacked on sight and promptly massacred by Kodlak and Farkas. Is there any console command to set my faction relationship with the Companions and the Vigilant to be a bit more friendly? Also the random skooma dealers have become hostile to me as well.

Brandy1123 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This is a difficult thing to deal with. The companions and the Thalmor have a very diverse reaction AI. Like most factions, the more you deal negatively with them, the more hostile they become. The companions are seen out on hunting parties and look like bandits. If you accidentally attacked 1 even at range, they may not like you very much. With over 1050 different faction types, its hard to say what will really fix this issue. If you want to try generic console fixes, here are 4 basic ones. I seriously doubt they will work, but might. If you are to a point where you may need to reload the game, try the following. As with any console change, it may affect things strangely in the game world. some not so nice. Make a save game prior to trying these. the "1" folling the command tells that faction that you are an ally - at least up to thise point. If any of the existing faction members are in your vacinity, it will not affect them and you will be back to square 1. go somewhere you are sure nothing from that faction is near you when you use it. 000B3292 VigilantOfStendarrFaction 000C78E5 MarkarthThalmorFaction 00039F26 ThalmorFaction (Thalmor) 00048362 CompanionsFaction (The Companions) Use these as follows - remember, this can make the NPC ai buggy, there is no garantee on faction editiing (or any console editing) player.addfac ######## 1orplayer.addtofaction ######## 1 it is possible you have an NPC who is disliked by the faction, especially if you are using a follower mod. you can try to send the NPC home and see what the encounter outcome is prior to the console command.

guale Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 That seemed to have helped to some degree for the Companions. Kodlak no longer attacks me on sight so in theory I could go up and ask to join except Vilkas still does attack me on sight and he makes it a little difficult to carry on a conversation.

Brandy1123 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Try unsing it again on the Companions, this time wait about 30 game days before returning. The AI should be reset on all faction members by then. make sure you leave the vacinity of whiterun and don't enter that area again for the duration. if that works, then try the other ones with the other factions the same way. Personally, I think it's inevitable. You are probably going to have to reload the game. something is broken and uninstalling mods probably won't help.
