Warning - this should be added to the top by a mod

Using the console (even by accident) will label you a cheater on Steam and all your achievements will not be recorded. So if you are into that Steam stuff, then you have been warned.

 

My achievments have been recorded, I used the console to get a shitload of gold.

I tgm'd for a few minutes because I didn't want to make two trips carrying loot home. Achievements have still been unlocking for me.

I always found it strange that FONV did that when mods could be made to do far more than cheats without being flagged. Apparently it isn't the case in Skyrim at the moment though.

 

As far as the "Console = Cheating" argument goes... I would argue against this belief. Yes, console can be used to cheat, but when you get into modding, particularly with NPC behavior and scripts, console is an important tool that makes the life of a mod maker easier when they need to troubleshoot. People using mods shouldn't be all that concerned about achievements anyway.

Interesting little tidbit, first command I executed was get timescale, and it didn't come back as 30, but 20. Not that important, I suppose, but still. Means either the game days go by slower than they did in Oblivion by default, or that the timescale measurement itself is different (as in 20 now is different from 20 then).

has anyone figured out how to get the correct ID for NPCs?

 

I was trying to set my companion to isessential 1

 

In FNV we used to just go into console, target the NPC in question and just type setessential ID 1

 

once targeted while in console the correct ID was inserted no need to look it up.

 

Least that is what I recall. In any event need NPC ID's for this.

SetEssential has always needed the base form, not the placed reference. Supposedly there is some tool out there that lets you peek into the .esm to get the form numbers, but it's thus far eluded me. TESSnip seems to only crash and TESEdit/FO3Edit are hard coded for specific game directories (as far as I can tell).
