Detestable Skyrim wiki

[Sniffles]

I discovered a glitch where ash spawn were respawning and being essential. I added it to the wiki page and my contribution was, of course, deleted. It's much better to discount a persons efforts than to investigate it seems. A work around was added to supposedly fix the problem. Essential, the problem creatures managed to kill Vilja. So I reloaded and attempted to use the wiki solution. I tried it and it didn't work. I tried a number of console commands, finally using markfordelete on one creature then leaving the area. When we came back, there it stood, frozen in place and growling.

Let's title this screen shot, "They can't respawn if they are essential" Well, that is partly correct. There are a number of other aspects to this glitch nobody has bothered to investigate as the non respawning spawn respawn are also immune to all dragonshouts. Interestingly, the Black Book gift Companion's Insight does not always work as Vilja regularly gets blasted by shouts or set of fire or frozen, but it's a wasted effort to note that on the wiki.

hello Sniffles. I see your in Solstheim. I was over there recently for the first time, had no problems with the ashspawn, they all just dissolveed into ash when hit. Wish I had some knowledge to help you.
Off your topic, tried out a companion to accompany Vilja and named Erynielwho is an elf, who first appears at the waterfall in Riverwood, across the river. She had limited dialogue at first but it seems to have grown now! She tho' has been an excellent addition to our party.
Her brother is a Frostsite spider, and she has a Spriggan mother they appear in combat.
Very pleased with her.

Do you have the link for Eryniel?

The ashspawn glitch under certain circumstances. I suspect the entire area glitches. They are forced to be there, or respawn, or it seems, both.  There is also a madman in that area that gets set essential. The result is perpetual battles and non killable enemies.
What royally pisses me off is I carefully noted this on the wiki. My post was automatically deleted as usual because I'm not a preferred contributor. I hoped for someone there to find a way to solve the issue. The wiki snobs first claimed there was no issue then acknowledged there was but couldn't be bothered to check up. The upshot is, once the glitch has happened, it continues to happen. Over an RL month later Vilja and I were walking through the area and we got ambushed. Vilja was killed. This is only the second time that has ever happened to me. I went to the wiki to see if they had resolved anything and they are emulating the US Gov lie and deny.
I think my favorite shaft from the wiki snobs, one of dozens, was I once corrected some elite's grammar. My correction was instantly reverted. A day later, a new correction doing exactly what I did was added and accepted, except it had a misspelling. I corrected the misspelling and that was deleted.

Why I don't bother trying wikis.
