I have come across a game-breaking glitch that has prevented me from completing the Cornered Rat quest. After completing the Battle for Whiterun quest on the Imperial side I went to report to the Jarl, only for everyone in his court to come and attack me on sight.Now, despite being on the Imperial side, every NPC allied to the Empire, including plot critical NPCs like Delphine and General Tulius attack me on sight. For some reason Esbern is still friendly, and it was funny watching him and Delphine kill each other for no reason, but now it's annoying. How can I fix this through mods and/or console commands without reverting to a save and loosing hours of progress?

Have you checked your active effects to see if you have vampirism or its associated effects? If you contract Sanguinare Vampiris from a Vampire and don't feed for 4 days the disease will progress to stage IV where almost every NPC will attack you on sight.

No I don't have vampirism. Only Empire allied NPCs attack me. For example, the guards react to me normally, as do towns people in Stormcloak holds.

Is it possible you accidentally hit an Imperial soldier during the battle? Try waiting a few in game days to see if everyone calms down.

Have you tried reloading a save prior to completing Battle for Whiterun? Maybe if you do it over again, you won't get the same bug (if waiting a few days in-game doesn't help anything, as Dagmar suggested).

Hmmmm... I've accidentally killed fellow Legionaries before, and this never happened to me... of course, only a couple of times, and they were almost dead already. Did you accidentally hit Hadvar or Rikke?

If you have a PC start by freezing the game by pressing ~ then click on the aggressive Imperial soldiers head to get their hex code. Then enter this code "paygoldcrime" and see if this works out for you. If it works you would be transported either outside of Whiteruns jail or Solitudes.

Let me know if this works for you.

I do have a PC, hence why I asked about console commands and mods. I'll try that.

Edit: that did it. Thank you.

I am having this exact problem. I had recently finished the battle of whiterun (Defense supporting the imperials)... I eventually told to move the imperial calm camp. At this point I tried creeped over to the corner, f5 saved, and tried to steal a horse. I immediately reloaded and tried again but now all the primary imperials (but not their regular Soldiers) are attacking me. Tullius, the legate etc...

Any thoughts?

All of my last three autosaves seem to have the same corruption. My manual save from 5 days ago does not but I'd prefer not to give up all that time.
