Malacath Quest

[wolron]

I have tracked Fervyn Oreyn down to Gnaar Mok. I told him why I came and he had his guards attack me. I killed them all. Then I tried to loot the bodies. Unfortunately, the two bull Netches that they had slaughtered were so close that I could not get Farvyn's body to show up when I tried to click on it. All I could ever get to show up (you know, the name of the body appears and you can click on it!) was the bull netch. I moved around every way possible and had no luck!

 

Now, is there something I can do to get rid of those two Bull Netches? Their bodies cannot be disposed of. Or, is there some console command to use to get the program to allow me to view the body of Farvyn even though the bull netches are in the way?

[Kethruch]

This is a problem I had too. One time I wound up simply restoring my saved game and killing them again - this time after drawing them far away from the netches.

 

Are you looking while in first or third person? I have often found things that my wife (who loves running aroundin third person) can't because I switch it over to first person, which gives you a very specific field to look in.

 

Also, try some interesting angles. One time I got the stuff because I was on top of the netch.

 

Overall, I don't think you actually need anything on the bodies (I don't remember, but I think he just has to be dead). So you could just return, knowing that you can get the reward from Malacath.

Or, there is a console command you can use that I think would work...

 

Bring up the console and click on one of the bull netch corpses. Then enter in the console, "Disable" and press enter. That should make the corpse disappear. Do the same with the other one and voila! Think of it as console-assisted body disposal :P

[cmac]

No, you really DON'T need anything on the bodies, but they have some nice armour.

[wolron]

Cmac: Yes, the armor is nice. But, I am a collector so I would always want to loot the bodies and empty the chests, even when the treasure is not particularly great.

 

Switch: Thanks for the console command. This worked great.

 

For those who read this thread and do not use the console commands, I have this advice. So far I have found two good uses that allow you to get around small problems in Morrowind. The first one that I discovered (thanks again to a local expert's advice) was that you can get out of situations where you have found yourself locked into a location. You know what I mean, you jump down into a busy area of the landscape and suddenly you cannot move in any direction. By using the "TCL" command you can move through the impediment and out into the open and then you reset it by using "TCL" again. I seem to get hung up like this about once every couple hours of game play, so it really helps to not have to simply quit and go back to my last savegame. The second use is the one provided by switch. Occasionally you cannot pick up something because something else that cannot be removed is in the way. Using the "disable" command allows you to remove the offending object and then pick up the one you wanted. [Question: If the offending object was an important object, is there a way to restore it???]

[cmac]

With the ID of the item you just disabled in the console box still, enter

enable

and enter it. The item will be reinserted back in.

The console command 'fixme' is usually effective at moving you on if you are stuck. It moves you a short distance forward. It is one of only two I use the other being 'ra' for getting NPCs back where they are supposed to be.

[wolron]

Thanks for the new commands.

 

Does ra work for a single NPC (like the siltstrider attendant in Ald'Ruhn who has sunk into the ground up to his waist!), or does it fix all of them in the game at one time? If I had killed one, would this reanimate him?

 

I guess I am going to have to start a list of these. But of course, one must already exist. Please point me to such a list if it is available.

 

Thanks

ra works on the cell I think. Very useful for returning your silt stider guys to the top of their perches and getting the swimming townsfolk of Balmora back on dry land. UESP has a full list of console commands but is down. Maybe someone has it printed off.

[cmac]

ra

will not work reanimating dead characters. it will only reset them to their positions as set in the CS.
