I'm having an annoying little problem with Neverwinter Nights 1. My character keeps getting completely stuck in walls (feel free to laugh). I'm still in the tutorial area as I've only played the game for about a half hour, but in that time I've gotten completely stuck in a wall at least twice, each time requiring a reload. Is this a common issue, and are there any known fixes?

I've sometimes gotten into positions where it's hard to move out of, but never completely stuck.

If you do get stuck, my first suggestion would be to try "fidgeting". Try using both the keyboard and mouse to move and see if you can slowly work yourself out of the wall. Resting or using some of the special animation "emotes" from the radial menu can sometimes work as well. If that fails, you can free yourself with a debug command. Press the tilda ("~") key to open the command console, then type "DebugMode 1" to enable console commands. Type "jumptopoint 0" and your character will be moved to another location in the same area. Then type "DebugMode 0" to return to regular game mode.

Once you reach chapter 1, you will be given the "Stone of Recall" that allows you to quick-travel back to the center of town, which would be an obvious solution to this problem. However, not every NWN adventure has such an item.

And of course, the universal truism of all games: quick-save often.

Thanks for the tips, usually when my character gets stuck in a wall, I can't use anything from my inventory, can't use any spells, nor can I rest. I can usually spin around in a circle, but well, that doesn't really do anything but add comic relief.

Not a problem I've encountered or heard about, but just to check, are you running a vanilla install of NWN or have you added extras to it? (hak packs, modules, etc). If you have added anything, try uninstalling and reinstalling NWN and playing without any addons. If that helps matters, then one of the addons is at fault.

Another thing to try is if you are using the keyboard (W,A,S,D) to move normally (with the over-shoulder camera view) try using the mouse instead to move with the overhead camera (use * on the numeric keypad to change camera views). You shouldn't be able to select an "illegal" location that way.
