Esbern and Delphine keep attacking me, regardless of where I go or what I do, and I don't know how to get them to stop.

I didn't attack them and was just doing quests with them and do not know what triggered the attack on me. They keep killing me and it's really starting to get annoying. If anyone knows how to stop this please let me know, because I would really hate to start over.

Actually, there is a way to make you like them again:

You have to beat them until they are down on one knee and then heal them with the "helping hands" spell. This will snap them back to reality.

It happened to me as well. Fast travel to another city, and then wait 48 hours (buy a room or use wait mode). After that, she will be fine with you.

You probably have a high bounty for something. This happened to me when I had Farkas as a follower. He was all glitched out so I went to Falkreath and let the guards read me the riot act, paid my bounty, and Farkas acted normal again.

Happened to me with my follower. I used Voice of the Imperial which made her stop attacking, but then she also left my service. Then I just had to ask her to follow me again and everything was fine. Yay.

You are a vampire and need to drink some blood to reverse the stages. Then you need to find a cure for it, see earlier posts on how to do that

One possible explanation may be the fact that if you are a vampire in the finial stages of the disease, everyone will begin to attack you on sight, due to their fear of vampirism.

That's an interesting angle I didn't consider. – Artless Jan 1 '12 at 21:26

There are some reports that Delphine's AI is buggy and will cause her to randomly turn hostile, but UESP says that she will be hostile if you have a bounty on your head, so it may not be all that random or buggy after all.

Odds are, you got drunk and said/did something stupid. We've all been there, man, now it's time to own up and re-load back to an earlier save. If you're on the PC, you could try disabling their combat with the tcai console command; otherwise reload, drink less, and watch what you say to touchy people with sharp things.

Is it actually possible to anger your companion by saying the wrong thing / getting drunk, or is this just a joke? – David Fullerton♦ Jan 1 '12 at 19:08

Mostly joking, though I've certainly annoyed companions irl by doing so. – Artless Jan 1 '12 at 20:30
