I'm guessing that isn't correct? I thought it would print out my chars name.

I ran into a problem where I couldn't finish the "Unfathomable Depths" quest which is the first time I've run into any problems, so I started looking into the code and it seemed it was crapping out anytime it got to "game.getPlayer()" so I decided to print out what it was getting and it's returning "[Actor".

Any help is appreciated.

According to the wiki there is a SKSE function, GetName() - which suggests there isn't a vanilla function to do it. But maybe you could use http://www.creationkit.com/Text_Replacement in a message?

Not sure I was understood. This is a script that Bethesda wrote. It is their quest, I'm just trying to figure out why it's failing to work properly. "game.getPlayer()" is returning "[Actor" and I'm guessing that it shouldn't be. Can anyone tell me what it should be returning? I'm wondering if my save game is corrupted.

thats how Debug always returns Actors for me. I don't think I've ever been able to get an ID out of it, just variable values.

No, it returns an object of type actor.

That's weird, it only gets cut off for me when I use Debug.Notification. Using Debug.Trace prints the whole string for me.

Yeah... I actually used notification not trace as I couldn't find the freakin log file. So I would get something else if I used trace?

I got logging working now and I get this from the trace.. "Player is [Actor < (00000014)>]". So, if that is normal output I guess I will breath a sigh of relief and assume my game isn't completely hosed and it really is just a bugged out quest. At this point I have managed to "fix" the script so that I can complete the quest, but I will have to manually give myself the perk via the console as was suggested. Thanks for the help.
