The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Using the Console

  • Press the ~ key (the one just left of the 1 key) at any time while playing to bring up the console line. On it, you can type any cheat command and press ENTER to make it happen. Note that the game is paused while the console is up.

    You can type "help" (without the quote marks) and press ENTER to get a list of many console commands. Use the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to scroll back through the list, which is way too long to all be on-screen at once.

    Several of the cheat info sections mention selecting another person or thing in the game. This means you need to stand to where you can see the person or item you're selecting, press ~ to get the console line, and then click on the person or item to get its internal codename to appear up near the top of the screen.

    NOTE: You can scroll back through the console commands you've entered with the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys, and can repeat a command by pressing ENTER when it's displayed.
