Question regarding Lisbet

[lxMattAranxl]

Without realizing, I completed Taste of Death, by following the quest line all the way till the end, where I killed all the cannibals. Not realizing what just happened I found her statue but went to return her assistant is there taking her place... then realized I killed her, so here's the actual question:

Will I still have access to steam achievements if I "revive" her via console commands to give her the statue so the quest can end?

[apellis]

AFAIK, reviving a dead quest related npc does not reload the quest stage where the npc was needed. Reload a save from before you killed everyone.

[lxMattAranxl]

... so in other words I f**ked up badly because the timeframe of the 2 is VERY VERY far.

[lxMattAranxl]

But would I lose my chance at achievments if I use the console command? Been hearing I won't but wanted to make sure.

Like say I revived her out in the open using a command to give it back. Woudl some notification pop up saying achievments are locked?

[apellis]

Using the console or mods does kill achievments, though there is a mod available that turns them back on. Maybe you could load a save before you killed Lisbet?

As far as the game is concerned, the NPC is still dead. The fact that you have used the console to make them walk around, is irrelevant. They may even still have some parts of their dialogue. However, they will be missing some dialogue.

I once resurrected Belathor in Whiterun, because I inadvertently killed him during the Companions questline when I was in Werewolf form. He showed up, and went back to his shop, but he no longer had the option for buy & sell. Ysolda, who takes over if Belathor is killed, was there, so I was still able to buy and sell things.

Oh... in that case I can just respawn her using the command... give the statue... complete quest... and so nothing seems out of the ordinary KILL her, steal it all back to stow away in my safe house, and toss her in the river so noone knows there was 2 of them! :D

..... I had this planned out incase achievements aren't locked. Yeeeeeeeeeeah... Messed up.

Normally I keep only 1 save but to be safe I'll make another save and work on completing my run for the Theives Guild, shoudl get a achievement from that to test it out. Thanks. :)

... Don't tell my boss. We're not supposed to kill. :|

[lxMattAranxl]

... Eh, may just do the plan but instead just toss in river. Taking back seems more like a item cheat.

My VERY STRONG suggestion is that you either reload a save from before you killed Lisbet, or just leave things alone as they are. The negative consequences of using the console have been posted again and again, ad nauseum in both this forum and Oldrim forum. If you wish to possibly break your game just to complete a quest which is totally meaningless for the sole reason being so it showed as completed in your journal (well, it isn't - since you did not complete it, you just reshuffled the deck after the fact so that you can say you did), than that is up to you. But, if something goes wrong further down the line, the only help that can be given is to tell you to roll back to the save before you used the command, or, if no longer available, to start a new game.

Here is the link concerning the use of console commands (from PINNED TOPIC Helpful Links and References, Section 5, General Troubleshooting):

... Then how do I rid of this statue/ quest then without negative effects? Because the fact the game didn't rid of the questline upon her death is enough of a issue.

[smr1957]

Go back to a save made before you killed her.

[smr1957]

Or, you can try this, From Bugs section of https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Lisbet%27s_Missing_Shipment :

"In case Lisbet is killed before completing the quest, both statue and objective will get stuck.
- Enter setstage FreeformMarkarthE 20 to manually complete the quest: you will receive the reward, and the statue will be removed from your inventory."

I thought I mentioned this: the timeframe is very, very far from one another. Basically the file was lost a long time ago so there technically is no way to get the file back.

... Or I can just input that to fix the issue... I'll go with that if that's the safer option. Thanks. :)

[lxMattAranxl]

That took care of that issue, thanks for the help. :)

(Personally I would've tried my way because it would've been funnier, but yours seems way more safer than that one... considering the possibility of running into it in the forseeable future.)

Wise choice. I resurrected the shopkeeper's brother in Winterhold who had an "unfortunate accident" because the shopkeeper kept standing over the body and wouldn't serve.

All that happened was the both of them stood stock still with no dialogue and I lost the both of them. Just stood there for the rest of the game. I was probably lucky.
