Burden or Feather Spell bug...

Post » Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:43 am

Hello! I've got a little problem with my inventory weight. I think the cause is how GCD rrefreshes itself. Well at first during fights some hostiles use burden spell on me so i use feather or fortify strength against this. But i don't know why sometimes those effects (except fortify) remains constant. It was OK because at the beginning I had a +5 malus on my inventory weight but now i think I have a negative value on my carry weight. Well it's good cause I can carry a LOT of things but i feels like cheating and i want to play normally. Is there a way to correct or reset to 0 the inventory weight? (i want to remove the bonus left by the feather spell).
Thanks!

First you may want to chech your attributes to see if some of them hasn't a negative number, second you can always use the dispel spell to remove any spell effect but not a constant effect.

This might help ... from the FAQ in the Cheats, Hints, and Spoilers forum:
Q) There seems to be something wrong with my weight/encumberance. What can I do about it?

This appears to be some sort of bug. There has been given an explanation and solution by a certain user whose name is now lost. But here's his post [his Real name appears to be Josh]:



If your weight is too high, the fix is easy. Drop everything out of inventory, pull down the console and type the following commands. I'll assume your weight is 126 heavy for this example:

player->additem "misc_soulgem_common" 1
player->removeitem ""misc_soulgem_common" 127

Now your weight is right Trust me, it works.

######################

If your weight is LOW, the solution is harder, but will still only take a little time. Again, I'm assuming you are too light by 126 here

First, go in to the editor and create a mod that makes misc_soulgem_common weigh 127. Save this mod as weightfix.

Load up your game using the new mod, drop everything, using the console type
player->additem "misc_soulgem_common" 1
Your weight will now be 1 with a 127 pound soulgem
now save and exit.

Un-select your mod from datafiles, you can delete it now.

Re-load and your weight be 1 with a 1 pound soulgem.

Problem solved. You can do a
player->removeitem ""misc_soulgem_common" 1 to get rid of that soulgem if you want, or you can just drop it

Thanks john.moonsugar it works!!! Now i can play again without feeling being a cheater. I think that this tip/bug fix must be more known because it's not the first time that i met it.
