[edit] Bug in Ultimate Heist?

So I'm trying to do the last part of the Thieves' Guild Quest, and I'm stuck sneaking in the Library of the Imperial Palace--the chair where I'm SUPPOSED to sit is right in front of me, but for some reason I can't sit down! Console also seems to have stopped working at some point for some unknown reason, so trying to add the Elder Scroll to my inventory directly won't do anything, nor can I complete the quest through console. What do I do?
Thanks,
Shuka

It sounds like you may have recently completed Knights of the Nine. There is a known bug during the Umaril the Unfeathered quest that interferes with the sitting animation. However, in other cases at least, it is just a problem with the animation: the game still recognizes that your character is sitting down, even though it doesn't look like you are seated. So I'd suggest activating the chair and then waiting for a bit. --Nephele^Talk 14:51, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

I had the same problem with my first save (650 hours)It was in deed after I had completed the Nights of the Nine Quest. Therefore; I had to start all over again to complete the Thieves Guild Quest. 300 hours or so later in the game; all sorts of animations began to get stuck for example I would cast a Destruction Fire spell 10 feet 1 second, and each fireball remained there forever regardless of my constant defragging of the saved data; picking up all sorts of "useless" items from enemies I killed just so that the game won't need to store that information. (e.g. Rockmilk Cave) also selling most of my enchanted items collections thinking I had too much created too many new unique items with unique names. This did help with constant "Loading Area" lag but the Nights of the Nine chair bug seems to have resulted in complete corruption of my ultimate save. (Some how loading an earlier one did not help) but creating a new game solved the issue. Tech support provided no help whatsoever; "we can't fix corrupt saves. And we didn't make the game engine." Occasionally in Alkaid Ruins I'd accidently sit on a bench only to get stuck for about a minute unable to move while being surrounded by Level 50 Undead... I advise you start the game over again as it might lead to a complete corruption of the saved data as it did in my case. Also, do not make unnecessary custum spells until your skill level have reached 100. (You will be making more and more of the same type of a spell for the sake of requiring less Magika. I had about 100~ so I believe this was the reason why my saves were 4MB each. (my new save; 2MB Level 37) Bugs and glitches only get worse in this game. Do not save the game if something like this occurs as reloading or overwriting will not cure these issues.

[edit] Ahdarji's heirloom quest multibug

I encountered many bugs during this quest. I was able to fix the countess stuck at the dinner table bug but still didn't find the ring in the jewellery box not even after waiting for several days. Then I tried to kill the bodyguard and received the update on my journal about the blood price but wasn't able to discuss the matter with S'Krivva as if the killing never happened. I'm a PS3 user and unaware of any way to complete the quest now that none existing fixes doesn't work. Lost Emissary 16.43, 28 September 2007 (EET)

[edit] Oblivion/Shivering Isles/help everything disappears from the ground

Hi I am having a problem with my game since I started doing the Shivering Isles extension. Everything I put on the ground disappears as very quickly, corpses also disappear as soon as I go out of sight. Usually as soon as it loads another section. It is hard to play like this as I can only sell the loot that I can carry. When I get back the loot I left on the ground was gone. I left a test carrot on the ground in the waterfront by the "abondoned shack" I walk over the stairs to the docks and then back and it was gone. Is there any way of fixing this? At the same time as this happened all shop keepers started running at me as soon as I go through the door. Thanks Bridget

You've got the Reference Bug. You need to install the latest Patch to fix it. Once you've installed the patch, you may also probably want to start playing from a save game before problems started to appear, because the patch can't fix any corrupt information that's been added to your save files. --Nephele^Talk 22:46, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] I Seem To Have Misplaced My Unicorn...

Yes, I know it's terrible to use as a mount, partially for this very reason. But I'm a six year old girl at heart.

In any case, I've been looking for the darn thing for about an hour now with no luck, so I've decided to play dirty. Are there any console commands I could use to simply teleport the unicorn back to me, or at least to an area where I can get it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The Console command:

player.moveto 0001EC59

should move you to the current location of the unicorn. --Nephele^Talk 20:20, 4 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Morrowind Game of the Year Edition-XBox-Help

Been playing game for months doing tasks from many guilds and groups. Have 'Keening' and 'Sunder'. Have been into many cavens and places including 'Ilunibi, Carcass of the Saint' and 'Tel Fyr'(didn't give boots). Just started the main quest after checking on net. Went back to Hasphat Antabolis and he was still after the puzzle box. Got it and returned. He gave me the notes for Caius Cosades but he will not take them. When asking for orders he said get that Corpus cured. I returned to Tel Fyr but nothing has changed since my first plundering visit. What can I do? Have I destroyed the main quest? ==Gardian==

Give Fyr the boots and ask for the cure and agree to drink it in front of him --Jesus lover 20:11, 25 September 2007 (EDT)

That didn't work. Could I have the wrong boots? I think I sold a pair because I had two sets.==Gardian== Got another set of the Dwemer Flying Boots and tried both sets but he does not want to talk about them.==Gardian==

Of course his answer didn't work He dosen't even understand the situation you're in. What you probably did was give Divith Fyr the Dwemer Artifact as a gift before you got the quest where you contract corprus. This bug causes Caius to skip quests and tell you to find a cure even though you don't have the disease yet. As far as solutions go, I'm still looking.
