Mission check code

I've got a problem with a bugged quest. I'm wondering if there's a file that I can edit to force the script to mark the quest completed, allowing the player to proceed with the quest line.

You can use console codes to do this. You might enter a code such as:

 

Setstage MQ18 80

(Completes the main quest.)

 

Unfortunately, using console codes is tricky and can create as many problems as it solves. In many cases, you would need to type in a lot of console codes to make a bunch of other things happen in addition to changing the quest stage. Like if you were to complete the main quest with a console code, you might notice a bunch of oddities, like Martin walking around, even though he is supposedly gone, and Oblivion gates all over Tamriel with daedra pouring out of them even though all the gates are supposedly closed. (These things probably don't actually happen when you complete the main quest with a console code, but are just an example of the type of thing that can happen with quests and console codes in general.)

 

You can look up a lot of console codes to complete quest stages on the Internet. If you are a modder, you can look them up in the CS.
