I then tried teleporting to her, and it took me to a test room, which consisted of a four way corridor made up of checkered-pattern walls.
So, I reloaded outside of the test room, and teleported her to me. She spawned next to me, so I had her follow me, then I had her go home.
I checked Whiterun again, and she still wasn't there. Waited and then fast travelled out and back in, still nope.
Then, I tried spawning her at the Bannered Mare, right inside it, having her follow me, and then dismissing her. Went out and back in, still there, so I had her follow me to Markarth. All was seeming fine, until I dismissed her again.
Before checking if she had actually returned, I had spent two days in Markarth. Travelling back to Whiterun, she still wasn't there.
I luckily had no inventory items stored on her. I also checked the Hall of the Dead, but didn't find her body there after I had teleported her (I went to it while she was following me). I want to know, is there any way to completely fix her, or reset her state or whatever, so she acts normally, and doesn't require teleporting all the time? Or will I need to rewind 7 hours back to fix the problem?
Thanks.
