Does the "resurrect" command prompt disable achievements?

[Applestack-K4nK4n]

I really need to know because I may need to use it on MULTIPLE dead NPCs!

I got my answer so you may ignore this thread.

No console command disables achievements. That was only ever true in one of the Fallout/Elder Scrolls games (New Vegas), and it only blocked achievements until you restarted the game.

However, the resurrect command doesn't un-run any scripts that happen upon death, and shouldn't be used for the majority of NPCs. Anyone you interact with, like companions, merchants, and questgivers, don't usually work too well once resurrected. Sometimes you might be able to get away with it, but its usually recommended to just load a save from before they died.

I wouldn't recommend using cmds like that because it will break the game and yeah, using such cmds will disable achievements. OFC if you using mods like skyrim engine fixes. you will still get achievements with mods and command usage.

There ARE console commands that CAN disable acheivments... i posted some of em, in anouther post.

the average user really has no need of em, because they really are "dev Tear" commands, how-ever TGM No clip resurrect etc etc... DONT disable achievements. using the dev command to "complete" the game for example WOULD lock achievements.

Theres only 4-5 commands that disable achievements anyway

That said I would strongly suggest not to resurrect named people, because for the game they remain dead so shopkeepers won't ever sell again. They are demoted to generic npcs and I know the pain had it myself in Solitude

Yes, some of them CAN disable achievements. As soon as I open the command console there's a line there saying something along the lines of "Use of some commands will disable achievements". Not sure exactly which ones.

[SpeedFreak1972]

Yes it says so, but in general it doesn't disable achievements

[alexander_dougherty]

No, it doesn't disable achievements.

BUT if you use it one named NPCs, which includes those villagers you have been slaughtering, then it will cause bugs, because the game thinks they dead and alive at the same time....

That line means nothing. Just because Bethesda says something in a game, unfortunately doesn't make it true. Maybe at one time they mean for console commands to disable achievements, but that just isn't how it works.

Thank you for the answers. I'll use 'resurrect' anyway because I feel horrible that they died trying to protect me from those Saints & Seducers [who literally pop-ed up inside Whiterun & started bashing me]!

Load a previous saved file & WATCH THEM KILL EVERYBODY AGAIN?? Not gonna happen. These are SAINTS & SEDUCERS, not your usual hired thugs or Dark Brotherhood Assassins.

I've always found it weird that they patched it so mods disable achievements but not the console like New Vegas.

Can you list even one console command that disables achievements? Nobody I've ever asked seems to be able to do that

[Altbert]

As far as I know none of the console commands listed on this page[en.uesp.net] disable achiements, but there might be commands listed here[ck.uesp.net], of which some are still available to use, but may disable achievements when used. Though I have never viewed, used or tested any of those 597 console commands.

Welp, I'll give it a day or two before you come back here because your save file kicked the bucket.

Good luck with starting a new game. Using multiple resurrect commands in Whiterun will be a hard lesson learned.

Because there are none.
No console commands disable achievements in ANY version of Skyrim.
I used to think it was a leftover warning from a Fallout Game, but that turned out to be wrong too.

Nobody knows why Bethesda put the warning in, but it would not be the first time Bethesda misunderstood their own game.... hell it wouldn't be the first time Bethesda got something about Skyrim completely wrong either.....
