Erthor won't stop following me

[Athas]

He won't stop following me after the recommendation quest is over and done. He won't die either. I can't commit crimes with my little buddy around! HELP

[Admonitor]

lol for me he is stuck in the cave, afraid of zombies that don't exist. Seems he is quite the bug-ridden man.

[Gyrgenssen]

Try going to the shivering isles. He shouldn't be able to follow you there and it might break the bug.
Admonitor, there are a few zombies on side passages and you might have missed one of them.

I'm having the same issue... he won't STOP FOLLOWING me. I returned him home, I completed the quest, and now he follows me everywhere.

[Sgt. Flaw]

Hahahah...he stopped following me but I def. took him through an Oblivion gate before bringing him back to the mages guild. He only got in the way

Na but seriously...that sucks

[R3sistance]

if it gets bad enough, use console, click on him and type 'disable' it should remove him from the game. This will disable achievements tho.... but there are already mods around to stop achievements getting disabled by console tho.

I "Sort of" found a Work-Around. When you find him... and he ask for an Escort... Tell him to find his own way back. I reloaded the Save just before we spoke... told him to find his own way home. And I walked with him anyways (Just in Case); and completed the Quest. And he's not following me.
