Companion instantly turns hostile once talked to: How to change your companion’s relationship rating

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

After visiting Eldergleam Sanctuary to retrieve a sapling from a big tree for a quest, whenever I "talk" to my companion by pressing "E", she (Uthgerd the Unbroken) instantly turns hostile and starts attacking me…

Strangely, If I crouched into sneak mode, then talk to her, she does not turn hostile. This extra step wasn't a big deal for me.

However, now that I need to fast travel to other cities, console says, "Unable to fast travel due to enemies nearby". My guess is that my companion is the nature of this error…

So, how do you fix your companion's relationship rating, console or non-console-wise? I've already tried setrelationshiprating using console, but it failed to fix things. I tried killing her and resurrect her, and she came back hostile.

I managed to solve this problem by:

  1. crouch and tell her to leave
  2. run asap to somewhere far
  3. fast travel to where the companion would return and ask him/her to follow you again

All the items I stuffed her with seems intact :D:D
