Aela stuck on amimal extinction quests

Post » Mon Jun 04, 2012 3:20 pm

Quest destroying bug. Aela only gives out Animal extinction quests. Did 7 of these in a row. This worked fine on my first character with 1.1 patch. Doing this on a second character since the first one is corrupted from bugs. Now, 2nd character is corrupted from the quest bugs. Let me guess uninstall this train wreck, reinstall and start over again so I can waste more time on something with a very high probability to break, thats insanity.

Bethesda executives, this is early beta software at best.

I did three totem quests for her, and then she started giving the animal quests only. Was this different at some point?

Totems worked in 1.1. Broken with 1.2 patch on my system. My game character maried her both times. I saved just before my 2nd character maried her. Reloading and not marying her, same result. Thats why I know this second character is trashed already due to bug quests.

So, u are correct about totems quests. I just cant do them becayse of the broken game dialogue. Since I did it before 1.2 "patch", I knew how it should have worked.

Interesting. Well, the three totems worked for me (with 1.2) but after those, she gave nothing but Kill the animal for me. Is that correct? or still bugged?

I was wondering about this. I got this bug then too. Does it matter that I've already done Purity for Vilkas and Farkas?

I did that for them both first, and just recently did the three totem quests. I guess I got lucky.

My 1st character I did totems first, then purity with vilkas. My current game I cant start totems of hircine. I looked around google and this bug is listed in the wiki at the bottom. Marriage or not though, I cant start it.

Beth, u need a way to enter codes on the consoles. I can use a keyboard on my ps3, so I dont want to hear its up to Sony. The games broke, give us some tools to at least help a bit - please.

I have helped beta test multiple linux distributions. This game is really bad. I know people will complain no matter what, but I would rather have 6 month to 1 year delayed release for most of the bugs smothed out. (oblivian you still cant cure vampirism on ps3, and others. Not a good track record here) People are wasting their time with this game in it's current state.

You sure did you lucky dog.





HA! lucky dog. Puns. Awesome. Does it bother anyone else that you have "beast blood" but in your human/elf form wolves still attack you? It's more of a nuisance now as Shadowmere can 1HK wolves, but still. Annoying since I have to get off the horse and beast them.

Also... the kicking-the-dog-to-death animation is equal parts awesome/"a bit much"

Silly me... I looked it up on UESP wiki and it's not listed as a bug and that's why I came looking for it here.

She gave me the first Totem quest, but now she gave me my second Animal Extinction.

The uesp wiki lists if you mary Aela, she may get stuck giving only animal extinction quests. My game iy does not matter. I saved before I married. Neither save works to start for me. Maybe the wiki should be updated for yet another broken quest possibility. Without numbered saves, this is ridiculous to keep track of saves for the countless bugs.

This many bugs, there is no way in hell I will buy an expansion.

This may not be a bug, but trigger based. The triggers don't seem well known. One guide says you need to do several quests for her. When I did it, I ignored her quests and did other stuff, but came back to find totem quests waiting.

It may actually be linked to character level.

I doubt level since from about 25 to 34 I was unable to get totems quest line while married to aela. Living in Riftin if that helps anyone out on a what not to do, maybe? Its definitely a trigger. I am going to just delete everything, and reinstall after a few more patches (and I have more time with work and all)

Just a followup. Started purging quest with Vilkas. He will start the quest, and not follow at all. At least I wss able to complete the dragon quest with Farkas.Aela still only gives animal extinction. 2nd character toast at lvl 37. Have one save at 26 left, doesnt seem to help either. Definite companion questline issue.

Farkas won't give me any quests so I can't reach the purity quests. The Companions are REALLY buggy.

For me I had to do around 15 quests between Vilkas/Farkas before getting the Dragon Seekers Quest, so sometimes it just takes time.

Come to think of it, I did two Totem quests and then only received Animal Extinction Quests, maybe I will go back and see if I can initiate the third.

i have found that if you are a werewolf you will eventualy get the Hircine staff quest.

if not then you only get animal extinction quests from Aela.


and I am playing the game right out of the box. no patces at all.

I married Aela right after we released Kodlak Whitemane, at which point she's available. Never got the totem quests. Never got a dragon quest from Farkas. Cured Vilkas (seemed like the third or fourth quest he gave me). Nothing but animal extermination quests from Aela. Finally cured myself.

try speak with her while holding the witches heads in you inventory, worked for me.
if she gives you animal extraction, refuse and wait 2-3 days and ask her again.
