Any way to bring a dead NPC back from the dead?

Post by Vicius »

Well, an NPC was killed in my game, and it was relatively in the start. Now I'm at level 30, and came across a quest that involves that NPC. The ironic part is, that the NPC wasn't even killed by myself, it was attacked by a bear while wandering in the roads and died. :rolleyes:

If it makes a difference on what NPC and quest it is, read below, please.

Spoiler (I guess): The NPC is Countess Caro from Leyawiin, and I just started Sanguine's daedric quest. She was killed by a black bear while making her weekly travel to that other city. I tried casting sanguine's spell on all other guests, but the quest didn't show up as complete, so I don't really know what else to do.

I'm really not wanting to start a new game all over just because of this, and I'm one of those players that can't leave something incomplete in a game, so any kind of solution helps, even console commands or an explanation on what I could change in the game itself via toolset will be taken in consideration.

The code you want is rusurrect. Click on the NPC, and you've raised it.

Thanks, fable. I suppose that must be a console command. So, I just type that and a cursor will appear, so that I can click on the corpse?

Btw, as I said on the first post, she was killed a long time ago, will her corpse be on the same spot, or does it vanish after some time, like monsters' and unimportant NPCs' (bandits, vampires, etc.) corpses?

I know I could just check that out myself, but I'm currently not at home.

P.S.: Happy hollydays to everybody!

A long time ago, meaning...? Days? Weeks? That NPC's probably gone. You may be able to respawn it:

Placeatme <ID> 1,1,1

If you back up a bit, the NPC should be right where you were standing. But you'd have to know the name of the NPC, and then look up the ID on the Web.
