SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. Don't overwrite the same save throughout the journey of your Dragonborn. Break it up according to what makes sense to you. I make a new save for every real-life day that I play the game and overwrite that one several times while playing. This ensures that you don't have a single savegame for that playthrough in case of save corruption.
----------
Savegames: It's fine to delete older saves. I personally keep the Alternate Start dungeon save for my player character along with the most recent five saves when I purge older saves.
----------
Vilkas: If you ask to join the Companions, leave your followers inside when you meet with Vilkas in the yard. Your followers will think he's an enemy and try to fight him when you take a swing at him.
----------
Thorald: If you wish to rescue Thorald without bloodshed, you need to complete the civil war fighting for the Empire and ask Tullius to release him to you.
----------
Helgen: Read the Helgen Reborn book if you're not familiar with this quest, but if you don't, make sure you don't go into Helgen after completing "Unbound" and before the quest tells you to go there.
----------
Walking while overencumbered: If you are GROSSLY overencumbered (I walk around the Dragonborn Warehouse with 8000+ weight in stuff while I sort and craft) and you can't get moving in third person, switch to first person, start walking, then switch back to third.
----------
Tundra Defense: Sometimes you won't be able to fill more than one house at a time with settlers before the game crashes. Buy three settlers for a house, then either do other stuff for a while, or fast travel away from and back to your settlement. This is not a bug. Sleeping in the settlement office will not suffice - you need to leave the settlement for a while. 24 hours? I've never found an exact length of time. You just need to leave and come back. If the game crashes for this reason, it's not good enough that you just started up the game - you still need to leave the settlement and come back before you can move in more settlers without crashing the game again.
----------
Vilja: You'll need to find "1 Small Pearl" for Vilja. It's just a pearl. There's no item in the game world called "Small Pearl." You can buy these from apothecaries or harvest them from clams - but they're a rare item.
----------
Game freezes: First, try to bring up the task manager by pressing ctrl-alt-del and selecting "Task Manager." If you can do that, you can kill the game in the task manager. If you can't bring up the task manager, then press ctrl-alt-del and sign out. Sign back in and resume.
----------
House Gray-Mane: If you need to get into House Gray-Mane but it's locked and you have valid business during waking hours, try reloading your game.
----------
Followers blocking you: You've walked into a tiny chamber with one door and all your idiot followers are just standing there blocking you from getting out. Hit the tilde (~) key and type "tcl" without the quotes. Hit the tilde key again to close the console, float out of the chamber past your idiot followers, and type "tcl" in the console again. This turns clipping off and on so you can float through walls. Be careful - you can literally float yourself off the game map and get disoriented by the colorful chaos - so stay inside whatever larger structure you're in.
----------
Paying for training: While paying for training, if the first time you pay you get nothing for it, open the console by hitting the tilde (~) key and typing: player.additem f x, where x is the amount you paid. The f is shorthand for gold.
----------
HARD-TO-FIND ITEMS
Here are some items you may have trouble finding on quests because the mods in this guide altered their names. If you can't find the item, open the console with the tilde (~) key and type
player.additem x 1
where x is the numeric code for the item you need.
- Alto Wine: 0003133b (Will show up as "Alto Noir Wine" and if you find one in the world it may not be the one required for a specific quest
----------
I don't want this perk!
Ordinator introduces a few fun perks that
can sometimes get in your way. If you've gotten the perk and then
decide you don't want it, open the console and type help perkname
followed by player.removeperk perk_id. For example, I didn't want the
Partystarter sneak perk because it kept killing my vanilla followers, so
I did "help Partystarter", then "player.removeperk 00058213".
Unfortunately,
you'll have to back-track those perks so there are no gaps or weird
things could happen with your perk progression. I have not experienced
this - just relaying what I've read when looking up this issue myself.
----------
Mining: If you start mining and you don't see what you're accruing via game messages, it's not working. Quit mining and start again.
----------
Sound: Changing the sound output device on your computer could freeze the game. I know it's not something that most people normally do, but if you need to do that, save and exit your game first.
----------
Ancano: I just TGM in the console, because dude can one-shot kill you and all your followers at any level.
----------
Crafting: If you seem to have stopped leveling up even though you are under 100, go get some sleep, or otherwise come back later.
----------
Legacy of the Dragonborn: While out on quests to find things for Auryn, there may be copies of quest items. If you are looking for, say, the cloak of Morokei, it may not be the one you loot from Morokei. There may be another one lying around nearby.
