So here's my problem: Due to circumstances (accidentally attacking him) I had to use the "resurrect" console command on Belethor. Problem is that rather than resurrecting like a normal NPC would, he's turned into the guy from QWOP.

He went stiff and started sliding along the ground, then he zoomed away and is now (quite hilariously) ragdolling around his shop, bouncing off walls, floating in the air, and generally making a horrible mess.

While I'm finding this whole ordeal completely hilarious, I'm also worried because I'll never be able to trade with him again. He's still alive, I can talk to him (if I can catch him) but he won't trade with me, and just spouts his usual lines while still bouncing around his shop. I haven't saved in a while, it's autosaved a few times since so I can't really revert to a previous save. Is there any console command that will fix this situation and bring Belethor back to normal?

Edit: If I can figure out how to post screenshots, I will.

I would love to see that lmao.

Do you have an old save you could re-load?

You might wanna post this in the PC help subforum. I bet you'd get more help there. I'd Google this issue too and see if there is a fix. Sometimes that will work faster for you than waiting for the right person to come online and see your problem. I wish I could help but I don't play on the PC.

Well, not matter what you did, he still wouldn't sell to you, so you'd prolly just be better off using the Unofficial Patch so that Ysolda properly takes over his shop.

I would do that, but I dislike double-posting a thread, even if it is in two different places. If any admin/mod could move this, that'd be great.

Also, PrinceShroob, if possible, can you tell me where I might find this patch? As a last resort, of course. I don't like Belethor, but I'd like to keep him in the game for the authenticity.

This post from uesp suggests
"Open console, click him, and type:
addtofaction 51596 1
addtofaction 51599 1"

Im a ps3 player so I can't verify if the above works tho. Good luck!

That worked! He'll trade me now, and he's no longer behaving like he's inside a pinball machine. Thanks a lot!

Awesome.

the resurrect console command doesn't reset everything on an NPC like it should.

Which is funny, because the papyrus version does..with the exception of the dead state(hard to explain) and the VampireLord model.
