Stuck in the mid... er, elevator.

Anyone else get stuck in the elevator cables in the Widow Moira's mansion?

I was all done, on the way out, and got cocky and jumped from the elevator
before it stopped at the bottom. I jumped the wrong way, toward the cables,
and got stuck. Nothing would get me out. And then I realized I hadn't
saved, except for quick saves, since just after getting back from the Sunken
Citedel. Ahhrrrgg!!

The New Morrowind game has a console command 'fixme' that moves you a couple
feet from where you were, away from everything in the area. I was really
wishing for something like that right about then!!!

No, but there were several places in the game where I got stuck badly
enough to require reloading. A 'fixme' command would have been nice.

Ever hit quicksave just to find out a fraction of a second later you
wish you hadn't? I have and I have just learned that Roxio GoBack has
a right click (Filename) feature that lets me revert the quicksave
file back to the one prior to the current one. I've used to several
times and it has saved me from replaying a mission several times.

I've done that in Tomb Raider several times, since the quickload
key was next to the quicksave. So... Fall off a cliff to certain
doom, and I instinctively reach to push quickload before she hits
bottom and hit the wrong key instead.

In Doom 2 I did a quicksave while stuck in a room full of baddies,
including a cyberdemon. They were all looking the other way which
was good, but I was low on ammo, and it was the only save I had
(shared computer).
