Welcome to Gaia! ::

Scripts like that quest don't check for whether the doors are locked or not.

Get everyone in a building to attack you, and lock them in a room. That's the only use i've ever found for the lock spell. and, ACTUALLY, the scripts do. But they NPCs can't use lockpicks, and most don't know unlock spells(but some do! beware).

I've found things NOT to do:

(these all result in being stuck partially through the map/cell)

1.) Turn the crank at Arkngthand/Dagoth Ur and then let the dome doors close on you. Intervention/Recall aside, there's no way to get unstuck.

2.) Jump inside an ancestral tomb/cave with a high acrobatics skill.

3.) Inside of Urshilaku Ancestral Burial, there's a hole in the wall somewhere. Don't exploit it sweatdrop

Things that DON'T result in being stuck:

4.) Equipping a ton of potions (I think the limit's 20) without pausing to let them take effect. The result? Permanently knocked down, heaving for air, regardless of your fatigue level. I sat for FIVE HOURS of real-world time trying to reverse it...

5.) Fortifying your health ridiculously high. It's usually fatal after it wears off.

6.) When in Vivec, on an upper tier of a canton, jump up onto the railing, look down, and then casually walk off the edge. You'll fall off, but if you do it right, you'll land on your feet without taking any damage.

7.) Strangely, if you kill the Ministry of Truth Guard and aren't on the Nerevarine quests, her key is useless. eek

8.) The lady who has the Boots of Blinding speed is a Redguard. Although she is wearing them when you approach her, she can still see just fine. question
Probably not a loophole in the scripting, but still strange.

9.) The island of Solstheim is supposed to contain werewolves. Oddly, on my XBOX GoTY Edition, I've never run into one outside of the BloodMoon quest.

That's true, I've done that before (buy up liquor by the dozens xd )

But taking a lot of magic-related potions, not alcohol, always seems to permanently knock me out.

There are "wild" werewolves that you can run into on Solstheim, but they only appear if it is nighttime and they are VERY rare. There are only nine on the entire island. During the day they are naked NPCs with names like "Confused Lunatic" and "Wandering Idiot."
