Marked For Death Bug Fix Command

[Captain Desperate]

I am having an issue with Marked for Death shout, and a console command that won't work.

Marked for Death has a bug that makes it so if you use it on a companion it permenently lowers their damage resist.

I tried using the command "restoreactorvalue damageresist <amount>" but it keeps telling me that it is missing the parameter Amount. Any help is greatly appreciated

There is no such bug I have heard of, what is your information source?


Where did you find that useless command.

Krii Lun Aus(Mark For Death) is a shout not a command line.

Why would you think you could send a shout from the command console.

No no no, that's not what I meant, Marked for Death is the not the command I put in, its a shout, and I used it on my companion during combat. I tried to reverse the bug by using the command which didn't work.

Also the Skyrim wiki says that Marked for Death has the bug.

He's not trying to use a shout in the console, he's trying to use a command to restore the original stats of his follower after accidentaly using the shout on him/her.

To OP, I haven't heard of an issue like that before, but the first thing is to double check if this is a valid command, if so the easiest way to get around this is to restore an older save. I honestly have no idea what to do if a console command isn't working.

My mistake it is a known bug, but it was fixed by the unofficial patch(USSEP) so I overlooked it.

From https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marked_for_Death

The shout reduces armor permanently, making followers very weak for the rest of the game. With the console command "getavinfo damageresist" and "restoreactorvalue damageresist <number>" you can get and restore the armor rating of your marked follower.

Yeah that's my issue, the "restoreactorvalue damageresist <number>" doesn't seem to work. So I can't restore my follower.

That just means you're missing the <amount> parameter of the command.

Did you just write "restoreactorvalue damageresist <amount>" into the console as opposed to "restoreactorvalue damageresist 1" the "1" part being the value you want to change the damage resist amount to?

Yes I put the number rather than <amount>

But that is the only way to get that error message (Missing parameter amount).

Otherwise the command just goes through even if it does nothing or you don't select an NPC it can be applied to.

Same if you prid said character and restoreactorvalue damageresist amount?

[poorgamer]

same for me, Lydia got in the way and the console commands don't work. what would be the best solution to get across this? (reloading a save isn't an option, i've quite a lot)

I even tried the setav health (since the damageresist doesn't work), that doesn't work either

can we modify any game files for this? i.e. just the damageresist value?

That is because health and armor are different.
Too high negative armor will just increase damage.

and the console commands don't work, what do i do :( . can the damageresist value be changed from any gamefiles?

If restoring doesn't work how about forcing it instead?
I can't guarantee the safety of such a work around, but might be worth to check out if you save beforehand.

use prid on the character and then forceav damageresist <number>.
Where 667 or something is hard cap.

edited reply: I got what you're saying.....however, I used the RefID instead of the prid command for issuing the changes, like this:

"000A2C94".getav damageresist

"000A2C94".modav damageresist 6958

got this from the 'General Information' section of https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console

I GOT IT!!!! @captain desperate

for the console command, you need to use the RefID of Lydia while issuing the commands, like so:

"000A2C94".getav damageresist //to check Lydia's current value, this would be a huge negative number, like I had -6278.0

"000A2C94".modav damageresist 6958 //this will add the value 6958 to 6278, resulting in a value of 680.
