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.

I did it like you said... that got rid of the error saving script, but he is still not in his cave : (

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

Oh ho. Good catch, GregtheSleeper.

ArtinSD, it helps to have accurate information before attempting magic.

Thanks for the responses Greg and Fable I hope it works... ohh do I need to type in the quotation marks around the name?

Yes.
Objects with spaces in their names need quote marks.

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

WHOOT WE DID IT !!!
Thanks for the tips... However they exact spelling is
placeatpc "Baladas Demnevanni" 1,1,1, ( no space for the pc) it's all together
