Glory of the Dead crash?

[nerevar]

Hey there, fellow Skyrim-players and general Steamites.

Warning: I don't recommend reading the spoilers unless you have already finished or have no interest in finishing the Companions questline.

I recently started up a new character to experience the joys of early, mid, and late quests, as well as numerous mods that I have installed over the past two years. On my first character, I had played through the Companions questline with no problems that I can recall. However, on this playthrough, I have run into a serious problem.

Upon stage 6 of the Glory to the Dead quest, when you meet the Circle in the Underforge to discuss getting into Ysgramor's Tomb, the dialogue happens perfectly fine, but when Eurlond enters, things go south. He goes through his dialogue,hands me the axe of Wuuthrad and tells the other Companions something like "Now, as for you three...", when the game suddenly crashes. It's irritating in that I can't get around it.

I've tried disabling any mods that may interfere with it, and I even went as far to use a string of console commands that would complete the stage of the quest that I was on and teleport me out of the Underforge the second that I recieve Wuuthrad immediately before the crash. However, upon the game loading me to my desired cell, the game would again crash to desktop. No errors occur with either form of the crash, it simply immediately shuts off.

I'm not sure if it has direct connection with me obtaining Wuuthrad or not, because when I obtain it, there's still some time before the crash. Specifically, the game will crash when Eurlond suggest that the companions go to Ysgramor's Tomb now that they have Wuuthrad in their posession.

Any input would be great, as this is the last quest of the questline, and I would hate to end it now without getting Wuuthrad and Ysgramor's Shield, the main reason I'm doing the questline.

For anyone interested, the commands I used were:

setstage C06 30 1
coc whiteruneexterior04

The commands worked just as planned, but the crash followed immediately after the game loaded the area.

Bump. The save is beginning to get boring now that I'm semi-save locked. :\

[nerevar]

Bump! I really need help with this! D:

I hope this may be of some help, but u might just need to disable all mods for a bit until ur done with it, but Idk, just a suggestion, do what u want with it.

[nerevar]

It doesn't seem to be effected by any mods. I disabled all the mods that might be causing the issues, and no change.
I have discovered, however, that it crashes specifically when I get the quest update. As soon as it triggers that I must do the next phase of the quest, it crashes. Any ideas?

Hey, i'm actually encountering this crash, any news about it ? :(

I encountered the same crash, and I find it really annoying. The whole Companions quest is now pointless.

Hi again, it's been a while :) finally i just accomplished the quest with the console :/ i've done some research, and seemingly it's a game bug, we can't do anything about that (without starting a new game)
