vignar gray-mane is suddenly attacking me

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:41 pm

Just got back to Whiterun after doing some quests and now vignar gray-mane is attacking me for no reason. After he attacks and I try running away, the other towns people start attacking me. I see that his has happened to some other people but can anyone shed some light on this bug? How can I stop it? I haven't seen any answers that work yet. Putting my sword away doesn't work. He's attacking me first and he's running from a long distance away to do it. I'm very confused.

I had this on ps3. Except the wood elf trader in the drunken huntsman also went for me. I went outside and the town guards attacked them and killed the wood elf. Irritating really cos I wanted to sell me stuff to him. I have no idea about it.

So you didn't fix it?

I just tried using player.setrelationshiprank npcid 4 and it didn't work. Have I put all this time into the game only to have it crap out on me now?

No console commands on ps3. Does he always attack you or has it only been once or twice?

There is a bug people say where peeps attack you for no reason but think that applies to guards only. You may have stolen something by mistake (done that a few times myself). Have you checked your stats to see if you have a bounty or tried approaching him armed then sheaving your weapon?

He keeps attacking me from my last saved game. I don't have a good save to go back before this started. I come out of the temple, and I hear people start yelling stuff like "stop him!", "Someone help!", and he starts wailing away on me. If I start running back towards my house (breezehome) others start to join in and I have a whole herd of people attacking me. I love the game, been playing TES since Morrowind, but this is the biggest game breaking bug I have seen. If I can't find a fix, I'm just going to stop playing the game and after less than 30 hours and barely having done ANY of the main quest.

He runs at me from across town. Sheathing my weapon doesn't help. It's not even out when he starts hitting me.

Things like this is a good reason to have autosave on (even though that has bugs of its own). If he's attacking you the moment you leave you could also try waiting in the cell your in until night or when he's somewhere else. Could also try attacking a guard, going to prison and maybe that might fix. Never had this happen to me but it's what I hear other people say to try to do.

If you've done some sort of violent crime in the hold, the citizens can randomly attack you for some reason. I've found that waiting for 24 hours helps to stave them off.

And for what it's worth, you're apparently not the only person to have Vignar suddenly snap his tether in your game but there's no fixes listed.

At least that is something different to try. I'll report back later. Any other ideas are welcome.

I had something similar last night; I had fast traveled to Riverwood to talk to start the next stage of the Diplomatic Immunity quest, and there was a bandit at the gates of the town, which Lydia began attacking. Then, suddenly, the villagers and guards became hostile towards me, too, and started attacking. Needless to say, I reloaded.

No.

I've played TES since Morrowind, I know it's not a lot of time especially since I've done like 1 or 2 missions on the main quest. But it is a big turn off to start over especially when you have no reason to think it won't happen again.

I've found that if I have a bounty the people at the companions guild will run up to me with weapons drawn but then talk to me. If I cancel the conversation they immediately talk to me again. It's almost as if they're tagged as guards but don't have the correct dialogue options.

It happens every time I get a bounty, regardless of which hold it is in.
The first time it happened was while I was on a companions quest, so I couldn't take two steps with out Farkas saying something [censored] to me.

Calm spell him so you can do your business in town and let his scripts reset. Try waiting a bunch (first try 3, then try 30 days). That's my advice.

Uhm..I'd change it if I were you, unless you want to get a Warning from the admins.

*SLIGHT SPOILER*

The advice to try waiting worked. I waited for like 9 or 10 hours until it was around midnight and left the temple. No one was around. I figured I'd go ahead and see the Jarl to take care of the next bit of the main quest that I never did. That's when they made me Thane of Whiterun or whatever. After that I left, did another mission, went back to Whiterun in the daytime and everything was cool. I even talked to Vignar for the first time and he acted normally. I'm pretty sure just waiting was the fix, but who knows for sure if becoming Thane didn't help.

I appreciate your concern but all I'm doing is accessing the console on PC Skyrim to fix things with converted 360 saves. I've bought both my copies of PC and 360 Skyrim, and the console still exists on the console versions but there's simply no way to access it.
