more that can be changed with setav

carryweight
actionpoints
health

health i know works with forceav (setav adjusts current forceav adjusts max as does modav - my memories of this are old, i only used these once about a month ago)

setav should work with everything that has been listed, however i would recommend modav for carry weight. handy to just add some more carry weight whenever you get encumbered, or when you load a previous save and find that your carry weight has somehow reset itself 😵

lol, I meant that if he can type in English and communicate with us, then one would assume an english version of the game is for him.

If he is German then he should understand German and English and thus be able figure out the names for himself.

I just thought it was an odd situation.

the flaw with that logic is that there are several words in most languages that all mean the same thing for instance barter and trade mean almost the same thing, and there is the posibility that he just puts his post through a translator app and checks it to the best of his ability

just a little example:
english: It's raining
german: es regnet
es fieselt
es schüttet wie aus eimern
es schifft
es tröpfelt
es ****t
die sonne scheint in strömen

most of those are colloquial, but i guess this shows, that languages don't fit together like lego stones.
one word in english has a lot of similar meaning words in german, and the other way around.

look up the word "but" at dict.leo.org Link
9 german words with a similar meaning just for one english word.

and there are other words, that are written allmost the same, but have a totally different meaning.
eventually in english Link
eventuell in german Link

if you look the german version of barter called "Handel" up on dict.leo.org Link
"barter" isn't mentioned in there.


maybe you understand how difficult it is to find a certain word in another language.
and hopefully you have a better understanding for how different languages are.

Thanks to all of you arround, and:

Yes, I can speak both german (as it is my native language) and english (I've been to great britain for quite a while), but, as it has been mentioned:

Knowing both languages doesn't usually help you very much, because most of the time texts in games (and anywhere else) aren't translated 1-to-1 so you usually won't be able to translate it back to the original language and get the same result.

Some of you might allready know this (from Oblivion or Morrowind) instead of SetAV or ModAV you can use ForceAV, which tries to set the specified value to your designated value, but different from SetAV ForceAV does analyse any bonuses and maluses that might apply and thus "player.forceAV barter 60" does set your barter score to 60, whereas "player.setAV barter 60" might still yield a higher (or lower) score since bonuses and maluses will be added (or subtracted) afterwards.
