like many others, I've also found myself inadvertently struck with the glitch that renders Mehrunes Razor (along with any other daggers) unobtainable from the dagger racks after you place it there.

I'm on PC though, so is there a console command that somehow allow me to retrieve it again?

You could just add it via console.

player.additem 000240D2 1

Sorry, ninj'd

yeah, but what about the one in my player home?

if you add another dagger to either of those dagger racks, it simply places it on top of the "placeholder" weapon that's already stored there. and my last save before I got Mehrunes Razor was like 8 hours back ...

Maybe open the console, click the rack (You have to be careful what you click, console is picky) and type disable and maybe the dagger will fall to the ground.

Save beforehand, of course.

Every time I've disabled and item or person via the console, that item/person has disappeared from my game never to be seen again. unless that is the intention, I'd use a little caution there.

thanks! that worked in getting rid of it.

just wish there was a way to get the one back that was stored ...


yep, this is what happened for me as well. which is odd because the console obviously "sees" Mehrunes Razor but for some reason can't add that specific one to your inventory via player.additem.

As long as he didn't click anything else, he could just type enable

But I do know what you mean.

yeah, it comes back but it just gets stuck again.

c'mon Bethesda, this seems like something that would be easy to remedy...

Anyone try bombarding it with fireball? That tends to knock things off display cases. Or maybe even telekinesis.

nope, no dice.

damn thing is glued to the display case, it seems.

For the glitchy dagger cases in Hjerim I just use tcl or whatever the toggle collision command is, with collision off I can just manuever in and down until I get the thing that pops up allowing me to take the dagger back.

What seems to happen (at least in my game, and I use a modded Hjerim so YMMV) is that when the dagger is put into the case it "sinks down" into the case too far, I don't know how else to explain it. And then without collision turned off I can't get close enough to it at the right angle to select it with the crosshairs properly or something.

Anyway, if the dagger's still stuck in the case, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work just do tcl again to retoggle collision and you won't have lost anything.
