I have a backed up Oblivion saved game (.ess) file that I'm trying to
restore. I copy it to my My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves
directory, and it shows up fine on the list when I load Oblivion.
However, when I load it I seem to be in a sort of time warp. I had
already done the first mission for the Grey Fox. But when I load the
saved game, it pops up a message that I need to fence xxx gold and the
Grey Fox might notice. Then a few seconds later it pops up a message
that I should talk to someone in the Imperial City about seeing the
Grey Fox.

Now the really weird thing is that I have unique items in my inventory
that I obtained when I went on that mission for the Grey Fox (like the
letter about the Night Mother's cowl). But according to my quest list
I haven't even met the Grey Fox yet.

Is there any trick to restoring a single saved game like that? From
what I read it should be very straightforward.

I guess I might have to replay everything (arg), but I wonder if
things will get more screwed up.

The only tricky thing I've found is making sure you have the same mods
loaded as when you saved the game. Otherwise, you probably just made a
mistake on which saved game to restore. Maybe you used the quicksave
instead of doing a real save or something along those lines.
