Skyrim "Blood on the Ice" quest bug workaround

Steps (if you decided to catch the murderer by yourself)

If Calixto Corrium does not attempt to murder Arivanya even after 8PM:

1. Sneak up nearby.
2. Wait for 10PM just to be sure.
3. If that doesn't work, sleep until next day and come back.
4. If that didn't help, try below console command (press the key right below ESC key):

setstage MS11 130

This will trigger murderous action as soon as you close the console, so seize Calixto before he kills Arivanya. (I failed however)
If you couldn't save her, you can still stop him from going into the house.
Follow him (useful if you have Footprints mod) back to the house in question, and attack him vigorously until he drops dead.
If you were too late and he already went into the house, just prepare melee attack and shouts, and kill him after you come into the house.
(You can purchase house later, if you want. Useful if you have DLC called Hearthfire!)

Steps (If you got the former suspect into trouble and your previous quest failed)

Wait until Calixto is supposed to murder someone else.
If he is just wandering around not killing anyone, issue this command:

setstage MS11b 130

Unreal Engine 4 Elemental Demo tips

If you want to peek around the map (use tilde (~) key)

show postprocessing
pause
toggledebugcamera

(Press F9 key to snap bitmap screenshot. They're saved in .../Elemental/Saved/Screenshots/WindowsNoEditor)

Note: You can continue this forever, but don't get surprised if you see black screen after that lava guy reaches the hill and smashes the ground; just move back until you see the hill. If you want to take screenshots from various angle, type in "pause" on the console (you'll see that annoying four "box" characters, but just Photoshop them out later) to freeze everything.

You can restart the demo by typing:
restartlevel

Or if you want to exit, type:
exit

Here's an example taken with these tricks:
(If you don't get it, it was taken in the angle which is impossible during demo sequence)

Random bullshit

So basically I am just wasting my hard disk space just to debug why the hell that movement doesn't work in UE4. I just freaking hate being stuck in that mountain, dang it!
