The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Editing Game Settings
Many of the game settings can be viewed with the "getgs" command and changed with the "setgs" command. For instance, to learn what the current jump height is, type: getgs fjumpheightmin. To change it to 500, type: setgs fjumpheightmin 500.
In the list below, the numbers in parenthesis are the default values for the game settings. Note that all settings will revert to their default values every time you run the game.
* factorswimbreathbase -- approximately how many seconds you can be underwater without taking drown damage (10)
* fjumpheightmin -- how high you can jump (76)
