Stuck in a hedge

[Ava]

My character is stuck in a hedge in a town (after climbing it). I've tried jumping, levitation, running (to exhaustion) - any suggestions?

I would recommend looking through the cheats, particularly the one to teleport out. Failing that, reload to a previous point. Daggerfall is truly a nightmarish game where you need backup saves at safe points, or else you stand to lose everything. If you don't have one, take this as a reminder to do so in the future.

In my experience, when I get stuck, I can actually escape by just keeping at it, however. I've gotten out of holes more times than not by just keep trying.

If you fell through a solid object in a town (wall, hedge, house etc.) the teleport cheat is probably your best bet.

For some reason the teleport cheat didn't work Eventually I fixed it by fast travelling into the same town though.

Exactly, it occurred to me after posting that in towns you could use fast travel to fix this bug. It's just that every time I got stuck that way (very often this happens if you climb a vertical surface and reach the top) I used a saved game, without thinking that fast travel might work as well (or maybe I was running away from guards and couldn't fast travel).

The teleport cheat, in fact, may only work in dungeons because it moves the player through quest item spawn points. IN towns it's different because quest monsters or items are spawned inside houses, not locations.
