save save and save again.

On a side note, I did 3 or 4 claw locks before realising the solution is on the _______ ...

And people think I'm obsessive because during an average play day, I average over 100 manual saves.

sigh.

I had it happen to me toward the end of the MQ in a certain place you can't get to on foot. There was a puzzle that I put the right combination to and it wouldn't trigger. I had to go back to a previous save form before I entered the dungeon five or six times...and fight the same high level Draugr five of six times (I play as a stealth/archer/light armor character, so melee combat with a room full of Draugr can be tough). I was very close to throwing my XBox through my TV screen and then...it worked!

I was very happy as the next auto save would've taken me all the way back to Whiterun.

Glad it worked out for you.

reloading should resolve this

edit: Ah I see u did that good

Oh, snap! You got me.
