Companion Quest line gamebreaking bug

Post » Tue May 29, 2012 11:26 am

Hello guys, I'm new to the forums and the elder scrolls series, but I've always loved RPG games. Anywho, I was playing the Campanion quest line and got to the Blood's Honor quest where you have to go to Glenmoril cave and kill the witches. So i've done that, and when I return to whiterun, the silver hand has attacked jorvasker. All well and good. I go inside and vilkas gives me this long monologue about how we will take the fight to them and get revenge for kodlak. But when the conversation is over, I get no new quest. There are also no new dialogue options. And everyone in Jorvasker is "busy." I've looked this up and it seems that this has been a problem for many. I'm not sure what to do. I have yet to find any type of solution (Except for PC gamers, you lucky bastards). I'm on the 360, btw. Ideas? Fixes? Anything? I've even tried to send Bethesda an email telling them of this major bug. To no avail. If this can't be fix then I will be a majorly disappointed fan.

Same for me, i wonder is there a possablity to get the stage to reset, get Vilkas to rest, to popup the quest?
Or anything else?

This is really annoying because it affects the entire town of whiterun :(

does vilkas follow you out of the companion hall? If so the quest might still be working partially. I can tell you where the quest sent me and you can go there and see if anything happens?

It worked fine for me, I just walked right outside and we ran all the way to a dungeon. Have you tried leaving jorvaskr?

This consistently happens if you clear or have another quest that spawns in Driftshade Refuge up by Dawnstar and Winterhold, because that's where the next stage SHOULD be. However, even if it bugs out and you go there, the shards won't be there. The quest that tends to spawn there is the Helm of Winterhold line. When it happened to me, I had to ditch my save and start over without going anywhere near that conflicting questline or the location and it worked fine. If you're on the PC you can finagle your way out of it through console commands, but on the Xbox I had no luck. There were suggestions about waiting a month in game, but that didn't work for me either.

Indeed, I have made another character and played through this quest line no problem. This is in fact the problem I believe. No fix for consoles either, unless Bethesda makes it around to patching it. Basically, you're just boned and you get no wuthrud, shield of ysgromer, no chance at aela for a wife and no chance at ancient nord armor on that particular playthrough.
