Using console to advance quests?

Hi! Dont know if the question has been asked/answered, but is it possible to use the console to advance quests or skip them altogether, e.g. game errors to skip forward past?

Hello and welcome to the forums niko7209.

If you are not sure if something exists in the forums, then you can use the pretty handy search function to help you out.

Back to the matter on hand, I think it is possible to advance quests, not by the console, but by the globals.xml file in your savegame folder. I wouldn't advise it though as it can risk crashes and making a already unstable game a lot more, uh, unstable.

thanks loki; i dont mind risking it, how do you modify a global.xms file?

Well it is complicated. First, you would have to actually complete the quest in another save to have the quest codes. Then you need to identify the correct codes and insert them in the proper locations in your current save file. But it is tedious work as the file is extremely long.
