Vilkas Is Broken - Can't Continue Quest Line

I searched online for anyone having a problem similar to mine; while it's fairly safe to say that my mods are doing this to me, no one else's problem was quite like mine.  In any event, I still don't know how to fix mine (obviously).

 

I'm not getting any obvious error messages.  When I run FNIS, I get:

In fact, I thought that everything appeared to be functioning remarkably well, considering how complicated it must be to get so many things to "play nice" together within the game.  But, I've hit a snag with Vilkas: he won't ever get into combatant mode.  If I get within fifteen feet of him, he corrals me into a conversation; and, now that he's supposed to go off on a mission with me, he just stands around the Companion headquarters talking about it, or offering to train me.  Even if I use the console command to drag him to the objective, he continues talking about how we'll now go get our revenge; but, he won't ever actually move, or stop simply offering to train me or tell me about the history of the Companions.

 

I'm really a dope-- I don't know anything about Papyrus logs.  Is there a log generated without a crash?  If so, I don't know where it's stored; all I could find with a search of my system was:

So far, everything else in the game appears to be working. 

 

If I could just complete the quest solo, I would; but, I'm pretty sure that I need to interact with him.
 

Thanks for reading.

I'd just drag him there and then try to do it solo. Just make sure to make a separate save so that the old one doesn't get overwritten if something bugs out and you will still be able to go back to it. Sounds like your on the purity quest I read the quest here and it said nothing about him triggering anything or him needing to say something to progress it does say that once you get the fragments of Wuuthrad and get back to town Vilikas will tell everyone to go to the skyforge and pay their respects for the deceased. Doing this will this will end the quest and start the next one, glory of the dead. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Purity_of_Revenge Farkas his brother can be annoying as hell as well at times with the bugs that he can get. 

 

You could also use the console commands to complete the quest it may cause problems later but it's either that or restarting/going back to a save that wasn't affected/doing the mission solo.

I have a sackful of witch heads.

 

At some point, I believe that I'm going to have to interact with these people to cure them of their lycanthropy.  Vilkas is the only one who's been acting strangely.  I suppose that he's been acting strangely virtually since the start of the quest line, but, I didn't really notice.  He was always standing at the bottom of the stairs outside the Companion HQ, and I always had to steer clear of him to avoid getting sucked into a conversation which was very difficult to escape; but, it didn't occur to me that that was the result of an error, since NPC's can be occasionally annoying without there being anything technically wrong, at all.  I just assumed that there was some reason that he was doing that which I didn't understand.

 

I would have to replay so much of my game-- if I tried to go back to a save prior to when Vilkas started hanging out at the bottom of the stairs-- that I might as well start a new game.  And, even if I did, there'd be no guarantee that the bug would be fixed.  I'd just as soon drop the Companion quest line, now, as do that.  So, I guess I'll try soloing the place, and seeing if I can do it.

 

If all else fails, I may need a console command to dump this disgusting sackful of heads. :P

 

Well, thanks for the reply!

 

* Oh, and if I try to bring him with me, I can't do ANYTHING.  He stays close to me, and I'm stick in that damned conversation mode with him, in which he just keeps offering to train me, teach me about the Companions, or go get revenge.  As to actually SHUTTING UP and DOING IT, however, there appears to be no way of enlisting his cooperation.  My only choice is to leave him at home.

or when you get him there and then control kill his ass with the console code kill then resurrect him when you get to the end of the mission before heading to back to town.

 

I had Farkas before where he would come up to you pull his sword out say something then he put it away then re pull it and repeat it over and over till all you want to do is shove that sword of his where the sun doesn't shine it got to the point where I finally said screw it and anytime I saw his ass coming my way when I was in whiterun doing things/missions for the companions I would control kill his ass and only resurrect him when I was out of whiterun far enough.

 

The mission/missions where I had to bring him I stayed far enough away from his ass and when we got to where we needed to go I killed him and resurrected him at the end when I completed the mission and once I was done with the companion missions he stayed dead.

On a side note each time I control killed him and then resurrected him I got some gold out of it from the king each time he died.
