NPC Dialogue Initation Problem & Markarth Bounty Issue

Post » Fri May 18, 2012 1:32 pm

So just now I wanted to grab the Daedra heart out of Jorrvaskr. I am the harbinger of the Companions so I wouldn't have stolen it. Point being, Whenever I enter Jorrvaskr Farkas constantly comes to me and initiates dialogue. Whenever I exit dialogue it just keeps happening. If I run/sprint away, Farkas chases me down just to initiate dialogue. Also another undesirable side effect of this is that whenever Farkas comes running after me, I cannot wait or fast travel because I am apparently being pursued by guards yet I have zero bounty in Whiterun. No matter how far way I go, If I enter Jorrvaskr Farkas comes to find me. Another problem that I am experiencing is that I have bounty in Markarth from a Dark Brotherhood Quest. The issue however falls that when the guards initiate the arrest, they tell me I am wanted for committing several murders and for conspiracy; which is exactly what they say when you have to get arrested for The Forsworn Conspiracy quest. I have already completed that quest so no matter which dialogue option I pick(other than resisting arrest) it just loops infinitely. So I guess that I apparently have to simply stay away from The Reach and Jorrvaskr entirely to abate these issues I am having. Since the next patch is already on the way I know this probably won't be addressed in this patch. I'm hoping that this will be fixed and the infamous PS3 lag issue will be addressed in patch 1.4.
I would also like to know if anyone is experiencing these or similar issues and possible suggestions in the mean time until the next patch is released. Input will be appreciated especially since Skyrim wasn't tested for long term play on the PS3 until complaints arose(Kudos Bethesda).
In short, I won't be buying another Bethesda game at release, too buggy. These issues are urgent considering it is a problem with the flawed engine.... Oblivion ran buttery smooth and I never had a problem with it on the Xbox 360 or PS3 so this directly points to the new flawed game engine. As I am sure it will be used in future Bethesda games the engine probably needs to be rewritten entirely. I'm not asking for a refund or anything but these issues definitely have the potential to be debilitating to gameplay. It just needs to be fixed all around.

I had the exact same problem until I finished the civil war storyline. Now there all Stormcloaks everywhere and they don't go after me anymore. But the same things starts again when I receive any bounty. So currently I'm unable to start the Hircine daedra quest.

That would be awesome to try but I already did the civil war before this became a problem...
