Follower in permanent block position?

[KnightInWhite]

I have yet another glitch. This time, Faendal's gone derpy. He just stands around blocking. He doesn't attack anything, he just sits there looking stupid with his bow/axe/staff/whatever forward in block position. I've seriously beat the crap out of him to try to get him to stop. I've switched his weapons, I've told him to go home and picked him up later, I've completely wiped his inventory clean too. I'm using xbox 360. Does anyone know what I can do? Or is he just a permanent derp, and it's time to move on? He's one of my favorite followers.

Sheogorath has stricken your friend--or at least you can decide that's what happened. Sorry,but more often than not, his influence is really irreversible on the Xbox. Sometimes, fate just does things like that.

 

Yeah, move on.

I've actually had this issue on two different occasions, on two different characters. One time I fixed it by giving Lydia, my derped out follower, a 2 handed sword. Another time I fixed it by dismissing Jzhargo and coming back to him later. I also beat up on Jzhargo so this may have contributed to the fix as well.

 

Sounds like you tried both though. And consoles don't give you much room to fix bugs. You can either accept Faendal for who he is or bring him to the Sacellum of Boethiah for...uh...reasons.

Oh, yeah, a two-handed sword might be a good idea.

 

If Boethiah's sacellum doesn't sound good, initiate him into The Blades. That way, maybe it'll fix him up, change his default gear into Blades' stuff, and then you can do Blades quests with him if you don't mind killing Paarthurnax.

I thought about sacrificing him to Boethiah, but maybe that's a little harsh. I guess that I can just accept that Faendal will forever be a derp. I'll send him home, I mean, it's not like he can't defend himself is he's in permanent block mode lol.

 

Thanks though!

It must've been trauma from Camilla Valerius. Somehow, I just knew that chick was prone to domestic violence.
