Heya, I've been playing Skyrim on 360 since 11-11-11, and encountered a new bug I have never seen before. I am on my 20th character, by the way, which troubles me even more that this has never happened previously.

During the Companions quest, "Take up arms," when I am returning Aela's Shield to her from Eorlund Grey-Mane, Aela has bugged out and the quest cannot continue. When I go to the basemant of Jorrvaskr, Aela is not in the room where she's supposed to be to retrieve the shield from me, she is standing in the hallway outside of it. Skjor is also nowhere to be found. He never shows up to Jorrvaskr and since he isn't there, the conversation between he and Aela cannot begin, so Aela just keeps retrieving her shield from me repeatedly and never continues the scene.

I have reloaded multiple times, zoned in and out of Jorrvaskr, even went and adventured for several days, returned, and she's still standing in the hallway, Skjor is still absent.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't care and just avoid the Companions. But, as would be my luck, this was my first real attempt at making a Werewolf character; The Companions storyline was actually essential to this character's progression. Dangit!

Has anyone else encountered this?

Don't you know that Werewolf characters are doomed in this damned game ? ^ ^
Last time i've tried to make a nordic werewolf i've got the 'Skjor resurrection' bug at the end and was unable to gain some Hircine Totems. Too bad for a werewolf.

The only way i've found to avoid this ones is to make some other kind of characters and quickly redirect him before your Xbox detect that you're fooling it.
