KMA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Can a moderator please consider pinning this and then deleting this sentence? (thanks!) Accessing the console via the tilde (~) key will label you as a cheater as far as Bethesda is concerned, and will lock any further achievements from being recorded on Steam. You have been warned.The thread for these commands is here. They will allow you to bypass many of the bugs and glitches in the game, if you do not mind losing one of the major advertised features (achievements) of Skyrim. Feel free to hit the official board and let Bethesda know what you think of them calling you a cheater for bypassing their bugs. Please do not do it on the Nexus though, the Devs never visit us here.

Raddra Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just so you're aware: if you use the console you can save and exit to desktop afterwards and load your game with a clean slate. It only labels you a cheater for that session (though it can get frustrating to hit the console by accident and have to restart the client) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denial77 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Lucky I don't really care about Steam achievements then. I've already had to tlc out from being stuck between rocks four times, there is no way I would stop using the console. Must be a nightmare to play on an xbox/PS3 when that happens. Thanks for bringing that up though - at least I'll know why I'm missing achievements now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wertoret Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 WHAT? maybe using showracemenu is not a cheat, but I got steam achivements in sessions I used console commands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderiii Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I don't play games like TES for the meaningless Steam achievements. :P I could care less about them to be honest. They are cool for multiplayer or co-op games, but not much point in them as far as Skyrim is concerned. I'll use the console on a regular basis, and not to cheat either, rather to avoid bugs, save games, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've been using the console and achievements are still working, they disabled them in New Vegas but Skyrim is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Does it depend upon which command is used? Or does using the console simply not affect achievements? I don't want to cheat, but I'd like to be able to use it in emergencies like when I'm stuck or I need to resurrect someone (haven't run into either in Skyrim, but I used "resurrect 1" a ton in Oblivion).

JimboUK Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The only cheat one I use is unlock, that hasn't disabled them. The others I use are for screenshots, TFC and TM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Does seem like a dirty way to get achievements, though! (not accusing anyone, just saying in general) But I guess I'm doing achievements just for the fun of it and the progression, not to raise my score or whatever it does. I just think it's fun for some reason and really missed it on the PC version of Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I honestly couldn't care less about them, I've clocked up nearly 200 hours playing NV and don't even have half the achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
