Restoring a dead NPC

Post by ArtinSD »

Hello everyone,

I killed Baladas Drelen before I new I needed him for the Guild House quests, I have read that I can restore him using the consol I tried typing

placeatpc Drelen 1,1,1,

But it does'nt bring him back I get a message at the end about not saving or something like that...

What am I doing wrong?

How can I get him back or can I?

I think the command is:

Placeat PC

So yours should be:

placeat pc Drelen 1,1,1,

Try it with a space in there.

Try leaving the area (the cave), saving (a new save, not over an old one!), then reload, reenter the cave, and use the command, again. Worth a shot.

IIRC, the command would be:

placeat pc "Baladas Drelen" 1,1,1,

or it might be:

placeatpc "Baladas Drelen" 1,1,1,

That's a point--if he's in the Morrowind object database as "Baladas Drelen," then you need the full name, because that's how the database recognizes him. I'd suggest trying

placeat pc "Baladas Drelen" 1,1,1,

first.

In fact, having checked the CS, it might be better to put in:

placeat pc "Baladas Demnevanni" 1,1,1,

I say this because that is the only "Baladas" listed, and he lives in Arvs-Drelen... He is also linked to Imperial Legion/Telvanni quests.

Hope this helps :D

Yes.

Objects with spaces in their names need quote marks. :D

On objects that need to be defined, in the database, usually the full name has to be indicated in quotes.
