killing Astrid before Astrid's test

[ketulu]

Hi guys.

So I made a mistake in the Dark Brotherhood questline: I received the mysterious note from the brotherhood but I forgot I had to sleep in order to meet Astrid in the cabin. So I waited and waited and waited. I thought it was a bug so I used the console command to unlock the cabin's door then kill Astrid.

After that and a lot of quests, one day I slept... and wake up in the cabin, alone and frozen. I tried the commands player.tc and tcl but I'm still frozen without a body. Even with player.moveto xxx I'm still frozen.

Is there a command line to fix this and retake the control of my character or am I condemned to never go to bed?

It's scripted so until the scripts complete your a ice cube. The scripts needs Astrid to finish.

 

Unless someone know a way your completely FUCKED and have to start again or load a earlier save.

Hi.

 

The command: EnablePlayerControls (or EPC) should return control to you once you're stranded in the shack.

 

Another possibility might be to load a save before you went to sleep and then stop the quest with the script responsible for initiating the abduction in the first place. To do that use the command: StopQuest DBEntranceQuest

After that you should be able to go to sleep again without being abducted by the dead.

 

Good luck.

Tefnacht, you're a god, you know that?

I tried both command lines, and they both worked. Yeah, I know, it wasn't a real huge problem, but it bothered me. So thanx a lot for your support, you win over 9000 free internetz and my respect.
