markarth entrance: weylin can't be killed

[FeldwebelSchulz]

i entered markarth for the first time, so weylin wants to kill the woman at the market.

but she ran away before he can kill her.

when i try to kill him, he loses life untill 0, but then instant get full health.


what can i do to stop him? he is unstoppable and fights all the time, and i can't get the quest.

He is supposed to kill the woman. Go to a previous save and start the entrance to Markarth over.

It's possible to save her life, but it sounds like there's a glitch, I'd reload an earlier save and try again.

He is not "supposed" to kill that woman. He "can" do so, if not stopped. Weylin can be killed, before he reaches Margret

larssa9333 is experiensing a glitch or a bug. Load a previous save and try again.

If you fail and have not installed Unofficial patches, do so and run LOOT after that. If you have any mods and haven't run LOOT before, then do so now.

Edit. Oh, hi gnewna. Didn't see you there. :)

I have the same problem, niether weylin nor the woman he's attempting to kill can die. I've tried loading a previous save and using loot and it hasn't worked. Kill comands do nothing and markfordelete only deletes the physical entity of weylin, his image remains frozen in place

[gnewna]

Have you tried using "setessential 0"?

[General Bacon]

Yup, does nothing. In fact they aren't essential characters anyway, essential characters are incapacitated and you can't finish them. These two die for a nanosecond then instantly have full health again and it's as if they didn't die.

I have the exact same bug, sucks so much...

I had this same issue, do you have the Run for Your Lives or When Vampires attack mod? I fixed this by disabling those mods and loading a save outside of Markarth. When you go back to Markarth, Weylin should kill Margret and the quest should continue like normal.

Sounds even more like a load order issue, or some other bugged mod. I have both of those mods that you mentiond and I am able to kill Weylin, when entering the city.

Regardless of load orders, i just tried deactivating run for your lives and it fixed the quest instantly. Thanks for the fix

That is interesting to know. If there is something in that mod interfering with Weylin's AI, then it obviously does not affect to us all.

Those that have been affected by it might wish to inform Arthmoor about it. It really doesn't help, if someone without this bug (like me) would start reporting about it, because I could not answer to any questions about possible common traits and mods among players that have this problem.

Drop the line in to Posts -section (sticky post has intructions), or PM Arhmoor about it. There is no reason to let this bug spread.

This fixed it! Thank you!
