So, I started playing this game about August on PS3 and got really invested. Love the game. Anyhow, started the Purity Mission with Vilkis. He did the follow and leave thing and the uncompleted quest went into the completed quest section. Have always saved numerous times, but for some reason, not this time. When I load the save, I've accepted the Purity quest, Im near Whiterun, and then eventually the quest is gone. I can't open up a save like some of the suggestions I've read where it says I should deny the quest, go to his brother, do this....I've accepted from him, and now when I go back he's offering new jobs, I can't pick up new followers, and it's just me. I could care less about the mission, just like having actual followers. Not for battles, but to hold some loot. This stinks. Any ideas on what I can do, will this bug be fixed if I try something, or am I stuck being without a follower. Which would really svck. Hell, I even hacked the guy up because the logic was a dead follower can no longer follow, that didn't work. Ideas? Advice? Thanks.
