  4. Detailed Codes for Several Console Commands

    Push ~ to access the console. As described above, the "give_trait" command works with several different traits to add to a specific character. In order for this to work, you must have the character selected and outside of a town. It works like:
    give_trait this TRAITNAME #
    Below is a list of TRAITNAMES and the maximum number you can put after to determine the level of the trait. These are a list of the most beneficial traits, message me if you want me to post the more obscure ones.

  7. Cheating made simple =)

    Open the cheat console by pressing the tilde key (~) and type in any of the following codes. Capitalization is important.
