pittdogg Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 k so i recently had to restart a file because i couldnt race change (via console command) my lvl 18 to the race i wanted without problems. i made a new character with the race i wanted and then used the "advlevel" and "advskill" console commands to make him the same lvl / stats as my lvl 18. the problem im having now is that getting my major skills up doesnt increase my level and dungeons/npcs arent adjusting to my level. is there anyway to fix this?

Hickory Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 You should never, ever use advlevel in the console. It does not update the game's internal checks and balances correctly -- the check for when you need to level up again doesn't increase. If you use the advskill correctly (ie. 1 increment at a time: advskill blade 1) however, the mechanics will update correctly and you will automatically advance a level (negating advlevel) when your major skills increase by 10. But that's not your only problem: using the race menu incorrectly will also zero your birthsign and race spells. There is no easy way to fix your problem without unbalancing your character.

pittdogg Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 is there anyway i can reverse what ive already done or would i have to restard completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 As I said, not easily, not since you used the AdvLevel console command. My best advice to you is to start a new character and level him/her up to lvl 18 with ONLY the advskill command, as I mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your advice, though quite valid, is too late in this instance. The character and all his/her stats has already been ruined. Saving the game with the console open with make absolutely no difference to this person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
