Stuck - Cannot Move, Attack, or Cast. Can only jump?!

[Nightsbanus]

The rest of the npcs run around fine, but after loading up almost every save I had today I am stuck in place. My chracter stands stiff, and can jump, but cannot run/walk, attack, draw blade, attack or anything like that.

 

Tips on how to fix this?

To add some more info, I also tried no clipping, but this only lets me move up and down like I am stuck in a tube. I cannot move out of my space. My character's arms and legs are totally stiff and immovable. I cannot map travel. I loaded up an old save and was able to move for a moment, but then it crashed, and hasn't worked since.

It's like you're stuck in a cutscene. Try the console code "enableplayercontrols" without the ".

 

Hope this helps.

 

Info from UESP:

 

enableplayercontrols : Enables player control during cinematic mode : This command is used to enable controls during cinematics when they're disabled. Occasionally the game will glitch and not enable your controls again - instead of reloading, put in this command and carry on.

I tried this and it didn't seem to work. Mind you I have loaded up a ton of saves, not just one that this is happening in.

Try "coc testinghall"

 

That'll move you to the testing hall, and hopefully you might be able to move. It could just be a glitch.

I will give it a shot, I also noticed after clicking to 3rd person that I am now also invisible. Although I have an ability not to die from falling damage, I still die if dropping from any height at all.

If it doesn't work, try making a new save, starting from the start. Or completely reinstalling. That fixes most things.

booting it up to try now, your last suggestion is all well and good, but I see no point in starting over if this is just going to randomly happen again. I already had a ton of stuff completed.

You can make a backup of your save, and then reinstall Oblivion. You going invisible sounds like theres been a few files missing, and thats whats stopping you moving etc.

I've been having this same problem, and the only solution I've found is to look up the FormID of a friendly NPC, type "player.moveto 'FormID'" into the console, then enter a conversation with them. Once I exit the conversation, I can move normally again. Of course, it's only a temporary solution, as it can (and does) happen again.
