i'm at level 17 and entered potema quest.... after passing trough the turning doors with the sprintshout, i find myself unable to beat potema's inner council and am now stuck inside this cave (i've tried for hours fighting, trying everything in my inventory, but i'm not strong enough). I can't leave because the three turning doors have changed position.
the biggest problem is that i don't have a save game or a auto save to go back to, the only save i have is when i was level 7. I've done alot of side quest, i have alot of gold, discovered alot of places and other stuff. I HATE TO GO BACK AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. in fact I haven't played for a week because of this encounter...
I really love this game, but for now I HATE IT..... i was on a roll, and now its f**c*d-up!!!
is this fixable without cheats? is there something i can do?

1. this is a good reason to be anol about saves
2. try to lower the difficulty
3. if all else fails, try the godmode cheat to get yourself out of this mess

thnks very much, you've been a great help, never thought about lowering the diff level...

yes.. i save every before and after fights, before and after lockpicking, before talking with anybody. i create new saves before starting quests. so yes, i am anol with saving hehehe and i back up 3 or 4 of my most recent saves on a thumb drive (god knows what i'd do if i get that infamous "Mass Effect 2 corrupted save file" again. hehehe

oh.. and i guess you could lower down the difficulty. i think my pride wont allow me to do that but if in a pinch, i think i may. XP
