Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 11:09 am

Okay, somehow, I was fighting some Clannfear and I got knocked back into a big pillar of rock...
In first person mode I can't see the pillar of rock, just a few small stones around me. I can move a little way in any direction, but not get out. If I go into the 3rd person (vanity mode etc) then I can see the pillar and my character stuck in it or on the border of it.
My quicksave and autosaves are both at this point (I quicksaved the game, before realising I was trapped). And my last other save was from eight hours of game time.

So, I'm trapped with no way out that I can see. I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow edit my saved game in such a way it's possible to give myself some sort of teleportation scroll (or if that's possible ingame). If so, could someone guide me through it...if not, are there any alternative solutions to my problem (other than going back to the save from ages ago)?

Have you tried typing fixme in the console?

I dont know if this will work, but once i got stick on top of one of the open barrels in the game and after about 15 minutes of trying to escape i dropped all my heavy stuff and was able to jump free.

Okay, bearing in mind thias is my first attempt to use this console thing, from what I can gather on European keyboards the function is accessed with the key between Tab and Esc...so that's what I did.
I typed in variations on fixme (using different case versions of the word in case) and each time it didn't recognise the command. That was basically the error command. Since I hear it's not case sensitive...I'm not sure what the next step is. I've tried jumping out and I'm not rooted to the spot, so unless someone can guide me with more precision through the console thing or suggest something else...I'm still stuck.

I'm not on the PC, but there is probably a noclip command for the console. Try typing in noclip and see if you can get out.

Okay, I'll try that out and see what happens.

I tried noclip and got the same error as the one for fixme...'Invalid Script Command'.
I also tried player.setav Acrobatics 120, which did succeed in the console and set my Acrobatics skill to 120, however I still couldn't jump free of the pillar, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of me.

Have you tried fast travelling?

Barring that, have your char. cut its arm off.

(see if any one remembers that)

How about:

- ~
- player.coc [locationID]
- ~

To get you somewhere else? I am just not sure where you'd want to go. For example the ID for MG in Anvil is AnvilMagesGuild.

When you type "TCL" in the console (without the ") you enter the noclip mode and can move out of the rocks. Don't forget to turn it off again.

I'm free!

Yay, it's fixed...somehow...

I was going to try the stuff recommended since my last post, but then the other weird bug I have popped up, sometimes the game reacts as if I have one of the movement keys pressed down when I don't...it could be a gamepad or keyboard issue, I don't know.
Regardless, it released me from the pillar of rock, so that's the important thing. I can deal with the movement bug.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
