I'm stuck
Hi, so I was trying to close an Oblivion portal and I was outside a tower, then I stupidly quick saved my game and at the same time a fireball of a little devil killed me because I was low on HP, and now I'm stuck on a loop. No, I can't use the console commands because as soon as I open the save file my character dies and I can't reach to press the button. I don't want to restart the damn thing because it's alreday my third attempt at completing the game and I played around 70 hours on my current playthrough. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Try lower the difficulty to minimum.

If that doesn't work, try loading a quicksave via console command "load quicksave". This will allow the console to stay open after you've loaded a game, giving you a time to react while the game is paused.

Make sure the loading screen doesn't pop up, or the console won't stay open. Load your quicksave as normal, ignore your death upon loading it, and use the console command I have stated. That will load your game without loading screen, thus making the console stay open.

None of these worked, I tried to do the second one but I realized I saved the game after I died, not before.

Thanks for the try though.

Wait, can you even save the game after you died? I didn't think you could do that.

If the quick save is loading a game where you are already dead there is nothing you can do. Hard saves are essential especially in dangerous areas like Oblivion realms. Have you played for 70 hours without making a hard save? There might be an autosave from the last time you entered a building.

Try loading the game and instantly hit TAB to bring up the items menu, and then add a 'shield' spell ( there is usually one there by default ). Then go back in and quickly jump away
