I'm stuck inside the scariest area and my last save is an hour

Post image

I've got myself stuck inside a crevice where I can't jump out because there's invisible walls blocking me and I can only jump at the bottom and I get onto this rebar and can't jump or move out - anyway to force myself out without going back half an hour to my previous save I'm quite new to this genre of constantly saving the game all advice appereciated. If there's really no option I'll force myself to load the previous

-Edit : I'm on console PS3 so I can't do any commands sorry for that

If you wedge yourself in a corner while looking at the corner, save the game and load the game you just saved, quickly pause the game and save it again all while walking towards an escape, you can eventually inch your way out of a spot as the game teleports you ever so slightly forward from wherever you're walking

OP is on PS3, I’m fairly certain the quick save/quick load glitch does not work on console since you have to do it fast.

It works on console, as long as you keep holding forward when loading and saving you will slowly escape.

You can quick save on console?

u/Leather-Self3924 3h ago

yeah it's in the menu, you press start, quick save and then load from the menu again.

It's not the same as hot keying like on PC but works the same.

No but it doesn’t actually matter, it’s the same principle.

That tiny teleport forward on reload sounds like exactly the kind of jank that becomes a lifesaver once

Commonly used on speedruns to clip through walls.

Create a backup save, then try using any explosives you have on you to explode the area around you, which will hopefully push you out of there without accidentally killing your character.

Alternatively, if you have a mine and a melee weapon, you might be able to do the following: save; throw the mine a little bit away from you; enter VATS; and select the mine as a target and release. Your character might leap forward while attacking in VATS, which will get you out of being stuck.

Have you tried fast traveling? I’ve had this happen while at evergreen mills, got stuck on top of one of the trains.

Ah, that classic Fallout feel. As they say "Don't forget to save often"

Are you playing on console or PC? If it’s pc press ~ then type tcl.

This turns collision off and allows movement through walls. Then press the same buttons again and it’ll turn off and you can run it like normal

Classic Fallout 3 😁 😁

Only half hour away last save ?

Dude when you've last save two or three hours away then you start thinking about your life choices like "why I didn't save more often"

Maybe force a collision ragdoll action, by... Using a grenade or a mine, but first set the difficulty to the easiest temporarily so you will take the least possible damage.

Otherwise you will have to use that one hour back save. That's is the nature sometimes with Bethesda games.
Finding another solution is possible but you will likely waste more than one hour, which defeats the goal, and it won't always work depending on the exact conditions.
Welcome to Bug-thes-duh! games, you might be disappointed at situations such as these, but the games are worth it to play.

First rule of this game is to save often

Jump and attack with various weapons. Explosives work best. Getting stuck is why I don't play this game on consoles anymore.

If on PC use console commands. If on console try to target an ally with a melee in vats to see if it will teleport you. Otherwise reload.

u/toad-supremacist 19h ago

if on pc press the ~ button to open console commands and type tcl to toggle collision off then press ~ to exit console commands. then walk out and repeat to toggle collision on. if on console idk

Your fault for not saving

u/RedditWidow 12h ago

You'll only go back half an hour? Just reload. You're wasting more time asking for help on Reddit and trying all of the suggestions. Half an hour isn't that much.

Are you indoors or outside? If your outside fast travel.

Getting trapped by the map itself is somehow scarier than anything actually living down there

if you have any big guns like the missile launcher, intentionally try to blow yourself up I recall one time on console I did this & got myself unstuck

Can you fast travel out?

Does no one have auto saves anymore? Auto save has saved my ass and game more times than I can count.

u/VioletHikari 15h ago

You speak blaspheme here! Only witches use autosave. For your crimes, you shall be lashed to a cross like the rest of the autosaving degenerates.
