A way to undo "caqs" command?

Post » Sun Oct 28, 2012 8:18 am

Hi there,

I had a bug with one of the FG quests and saw no other way but to advance the quest using the console. Trouble was I though the "caqs" command would only complete the stages of the currently acitve quest but - guess you know what's coming - ALL of my previously open quests were completed. Most of them in a pretty wrong way (dead characters, etc.). Of course I did overwrite my saves from before I used that command, since I didn't recognize it's effects immidiately.

Is there any way I can edit the save / profile files or do something else to undo my bad luck?

Help is appreciated! :)

Nope, you're pretty much SOL.

Lesson learned: Don't use console commands unless you are completely aware of the effects, and don't rely on only a few save files.

How much did you play before realizing what had happened? Surely you must have saves still there from before you used the command? I certainly hope so anyway cause I don′t know if you can edit saves like that...

I had a similar experience last winter where I had to revert to a few weeks old save, thus losing many hrs of gameplay. It wasn′t too bad for me though as I mostly just wandered around anyway. At least it fixed my problem.
