Can't move in Skyrim

I am stuck in a small space in Bleak Falls Barrow, and I can't move, fast travel, or restart. What should I do?

The game will not let me fast travel and I will lose my progress if I load a new save.

Best Answer

Other than loading an old save your only real option is to resort to console commands. If you're not playing on PC, then I'm afraid loading an old save is probably your only option.

Open the Skyrim console by pressing the key below your escape button, on US keyboards this is a tilde key ~ and on UK it's `.

You can toggle your players collision with the environment using the TCL command, which should allow you to more through anything trapping you in place. Once in a safe location, use the same command to return to normal movement.

However if you are stuck in an area, rather than being stuck on some terrain, you can use the "Center on Cell" command by typing: COC E3demoBleakFallsBarrow which will teleport you to the spawn point for this location.

(You could also pick the COC code from this list, if you want to travel to somewhere closer to your current location)

Originally posted by John: Or, press that tab button, like the actual tab icon on the screen. That should work, usually happens when i press shift tab during a conversation. THANK YOU, mouse clicking tab saved me frustration from reloading.
