Had to abandon a lvl 49 character : V

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:09 am

OK, has anyone else had this BS happen to them. I had a lvl 49 character, and out of nowhere I suddenly get jumped by Whiterun guards saying I have a crime. I am like WTF... ok, I tell them I am the Jarl of Whiterun an they say ok and not to do it again, but STILL attack me. I have no weapons drawn at all, and I have reloaded the game several times, and it has the same results. Now I had to abandon my highest level character, and start it again from scratch.

You never made any saves?

When you start the new one you might wanna try multiple saves!

Did you try pulling a weapon out then shieving it,alot of times they will yield and just try to arrest you.
Also you could have just left Whiterun for a few days then returned,they may still try to arrest you but they probably won't attack.

One more thing,what was your bounty?and were you perhaps a vampire or werewolf?

Better check your active effects before throwing this character away. And, see what your bounty is and pay it.

However, you are more than likely transformed into something.

And, yes, playing this game on one save or only on Autosaves is not good, not good at all.

Can you kill the guard, serve your time and move on? It doesn't sound like you need to start all over.

All of my saves with this char all have the same thing. The bounty is 1k, but I cannot pay it. I tell them I am the Jarl, have NO weapons drawn, have done nothing (noticed anyways) illegal with this character, and I seem to get the pointy end of the blade every time. I am neither a vampire or werewolf, it simply gave me a bounty of 1k out of nowhere, and the guards try to kill me no matter when I have tried.

Are you a vampire?

Go to another Hold, wait 73 game hours, then go back. They should not attack you again.

I cannot even get the promts to do anything, they see me, I say I am the Jarl, they say OK NP, and still jump me.

Kill them and be done with it, can't you do that?
If not, know from now on that playing Bethesda games with only one save is a one-way ticket to restart.

All of your saves?? Some people will tell you to save between 5 or 10 save files and overwrite as you go along. But I've got about 1500 saves at this point on my level 50 character. The advantage to this is that I can go back to almost any point in my game if something gets F'd up.

Did you not even bother reading my posting where it says "All" of my saves with this character?

Check your active effects for vampiric effects. A lot of people seem to overlook it.

I have 9 saves with this character. This isn't the first time it's happened to me, but it's the first time saying I am the Jarl will have no effect, and still getting jumped.

Try to cast a Calm spell and talk to the guard/pay off your bounty.

I know how to check my active status, and I know the signs of what happens when you become a vampire. It was the first thing I looked for, but last I looked, being a vamp doesn't give you a 1k bounty either.

Not a caster.

All your saves? That's weird.

But you can still kill them and run away, no?

did you hit whatshisface with an enchanted weapon or grind destruction spells on Vilkas?

What? Please read my posts before responding, I have no nothing, noticable when it comes to "crimes" and yet the game hit me with a 1k bounty, and the guards always jump me, and just tried doing the whole send me to jail thing, and they still attacked me.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:58 am

Maybe, you can go to jail OR pay the bounty?

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:04 pm

try either killing the guards, waiting in game time (at least 2 days) then go back and talk, holding the block button while their attacking you, or never go back to Whiterun.

Are you only trying the "I am the thane of whiterun" option? have you tried paying off bounty... or just doing the time?

I had this for one hold and after a long time away eventually I had a bounty hunter come after me once in the wilderness. He let me pay a fine and the issue was solved.
