Mob Attack after a quest finished

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:17 pm

Ok previous night i completed a quest named "Dark Ancestor" for "Dengeir (Falkreath)". Today when i went back onto the game and fast tracked to Falkreath to let Dengier know about the quest being completed, but!! once the fast track finished loading i was suddenly in amongst a "Horde" of Draugar, Ice Atronach's and some chaps in black robes, possibly just mages, now when i saw a Horde, i mean just that, there was just to many to be able to stop an count them all and needless to say, i was killed not long after entering this mass Horde. Now I figured that it may be that its just a Bunch of Undead trying to get some revenge for me having killed Dengiers enemy, so after the game respawned me, i fast tracked to the Dark Brotherhoods place, figuring i would walk back to Falkreath from there and range the mob from relative safety (lol yeah an know am a wimp hehehe). But once the fast track had loaded, there was the mass Horde again, same result i could hardly move and thus i was killed.

So has anyone else had this problem after doing this quest or is it just a nasty suprise from the game having had a quick update today????

Nope am on XBox and dont use any mods/cheats or out like that.

some additional info, I am currently a wearwolf but have not yet used the wolf form for any fighting. I am currently riding around on Shadowmere. My char level is 72.
Before i logged out the game last night, i rode back to Falkreath instead of fast tracking and there was no Horde waiting for me, so was able to approach Dengier to complete the quest fully. so at some point today am gonna do a fast track to some location away from the populated areas just to see if any Horde will appear, lol wish me luck.........

Well, dunno if it was a bug or what, but i can gladly say I have beaten them. Body count came to approx 25 (The Horde = Various Draugar's, 5 Necro's, 4 Frost Atronachs and as i tracked to a Giants camp there was 2 Giants, 3 Mammoths, then just when i thought i was done 4 Bandits) when the dust finally settled...

Wow, that is weird. I wouldn't mind something like that every now and then (because at 70 I could easily handle it), but I wouldn't want it in a 'city' though. :confused: Was the horde attacking/killing the NPCs? :o

Well when i tracked to the Giants camp, the Horde appeared with me and began attacking me straight away, but i managed lead them through the Giants and Mammoths to give me some breathing space to get off me horse and ready meself for one heck of fight, so yeah the Giants and Mammoths didn't take to kindly to them but the Horde made short work of them, I cant be sure but i think at least 3 Draugar Lords where using shouts, a few of the Draugar were mage, some where range, rest of them melee.

I took them to an open area mainly because in close quarters they where killing me very quickly and in an open area i knew i stood a better chance of getting into some free space without having any of the Horde at me back. As much fun as it was taking on this lot, dont think i'd want to repeat it, so hopefully it was just a one-off thing lol

Damn, I've never seen anything like this. :blink: Getting attacked straight after fast traveling is probably the worse time to get hit, I'm glad you managed to kill them. :touched: I'm guessing it's a glitch, but I'm going to be more on my guard when I fast travel in the future.

It almost sounds like the part of the script that tells the NPCs to stop pursuing and return to their 'patrol' area bugged out. Hostiles chasing you through the entire zone? That's some FF XI $*** right there. :lol:

Yeah, this sort of thing happens I have read after a patch... Scripts go wonky for a couple of ingame days. I recall with 1.4 and 1.5 I would get a single draugr appearing when I fast traveled. Happened for a day or two then stopped.

This patch, I walked around Whiterun and no one was talking, they were almost frozen.. It took me a minute to even notice it (I was dropping off loot and working on making a new firey-soul-trapping weapon, so running from Warmaiden's to Dragonsreach and back a couple times. Went out on adventure, came back and all was normal again.

Something similiar happend to me 2 times: First time I fasttraveled to dawnstar and *poff* all around me stood (fortunately) 5 or 6 guys that only apear in the thieves guild questline and in a certain location only. I killed them easy bcs they were so few but it was a strange experience anyway.
Secound time I fasttraveled to riften and this time I was surrounded by a bunch of forsworn and this was not long after doing the quest where you libirate a mine from forsworn.
So is this normal? Were they only there bcs they had tracked me down for revenge? Or is this like the glitch Helcaterian experienced just a milder version?

I took the anti-Forsworn mine escape path on my chick assassin and have not seen any Forsworn outside of their 'redoubts' outside The Reach. Nor have I seen any other random NPCs other than the standard Thalmor and Imperial patrols.

I read somewhere that this post-patch bug may be to do with your conjuration usage. Apparently it spawns all the creatures you've ever raised when you fast travel.

Do you conjuration? If so, I saw a possible explanation / quick fix some where here in the forums and it was a console player how figured it out. Give me a min. to find the link to the topic. :biggrin:

Have a read, the guy who made post #5 seems to have figured it out, if you use conjuration that is :biggrin:

Did you complete a quest with a certain infinite star shaped soul gem? If you did then that might be why

Yep i have the Azura soul gem in my invent, but have not used the soul it carries as yet.


Do you conjuration? If so, I saw a possible explanation / quick fix some where here in the forums and it was a console player how figured it out. Give me a min. to find the link to the topic.

I've used conjuration to raise various corpses, but when i think about the Horde that came after me, it could well be a bug of sorts, case of game updates and your saddled with a minor bug (or major, depending on your view of it), in this case it seems a dungeon/cave/ruin somewhere was emptied of its occupants and got attached to me when i fast-tracked, i will however take a look at that link see if it relates in anyway to what happened to me.

I've taken a look at the post in the Link carrots gave and although its similar to what happened to me, its not quite the same, unless the those creature that you have re-animated are in your active effects but dont appear there at the same time if you get what i mean. I check my active effects quite regular and have not seen any left-over deaders. Also the last time i re-animated a corpse was about a week ago at the very least so i am thinking that its a dungeon/cave/ruin Horde thats gotten bugged with last update and ended up being attached to me when i fast-tracked.

Its only done it this once, and i've fast-tracked a few times since dealing with that Horde :-)
