Anich Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Okay, so I've been through the infamous "Whiterun guards attack"-glitch, but this is something new. I get totally random attacks from totally random characters all over Skyrim, the only characters that seem NOT to attack in the first place are the guards. For instance, the travelling bard stabbed me in the back when I passed him on the road. Then I went to Whiterun, only to walk in an Imperial ambush; three Imperial soldiers were waiting and ready to attack me at the gate when I walked in. I escaped them, reloaded the game from the previous save and fast-traveled to Whiterun, same problem. Then I escaped the Imperials, fast-traveled to Dragonsreach and walked to the main city gate from there, no Imperials and no one attacked me for a good while. Problem solved? Nope, next I went to Bannered Mare to get some sleep and Uthgerd the Unbroken attacked me. I used Calm spell on her and after that I was able to talk to her normally, but when the spell wore off she attacked again. I Calmed her again and went upstairs to sleep a couple of hours, after that everything was normal again and I was able to move on from the inn. Also some Thalmor Justiciars have randomly attacked me on the road. Okay, I MIGHT have slaughtered quite a bunch of them for fun while travelling the world, but that shouldn't explain the random attacks. After all, I've played around 250hrs and nothing like this has happened before. I guess it all started when I accidentally killed the riding nobleman outside of Whiterun, but after that I loaded the previous save before the accident and still the problem persists. I also had a curious sneaking glitch after that, I wasn't able to walk or run, only sneak and sprinting caused just the "silent roll" even though I hadn't got the perk. That was solved by sitting down, but the attacks seem to continue. Any ideas how to fix this? Edited August 2, 2012 by Anich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anich Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Update: I haven't had anyone attacking me for several in-game days and actually forgot about the glitch, until I went to Dragonsreach. Everyone, including guards and Jarl attacked me instantly when I stepped in and I haven't been able to resolve this glitch yet. Any suggestions?

Ihmislehma Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've had similar problems sometimes. I have no idea how to "fix" this completely, but I know how to fix it at least for some time. My solution is rather odd: I hit one of the attackers, steal or do something else the guards would arrest me for (just try not to kill anyone, the bounty for that is rather high). When the guards arrest you, just pay the bounty off. After that, everyone seems to calm down. Dunno if this will help but it worked for me.

Anich Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks (vai pitäisikö ihan vaan kiittää :) ), this solved the Dragonreach issue but Uthgerd and some other random characters still attack me once in a while. Not every time I visit Bannered Mare for instance, but almost every other time. Getting a small bounty and paying it off usually seems to calm things down when getting attacked in a city, but sometimes after paying the guards attack me again. On the other hand, this solution does not work when some totally random characters attack me in the wild, especially if they're "important" and therefore not killable. I'm really getting frustrated, if that's not obvious yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anich Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Still no solution for this one and it seems to me that other saves are glitched like this too. I tried all my characters and each and every one of them got some random attacks in cities as well as in the wilderness. Messed up the whole game, oh joy!
