Dev Console?

[Eguzky]

It would still be nice to get this.

For those of us who have played through, or are pretty far along, and made a second save to derp around on.

Like 'I want high stats to never fail pursuasion' or 'What happens if I kill THIS plot-important person who's 10 levels above me?' or other things.

Seriously; using cheats in a solo experience is not evil. It can even expand the life of a game. Old NES, SNES, SEGA, and N64 games came with cheats to make the game silly and fun.
Why did that stop? :P

There are mods for that. Not sure about the persuasion mod aspect, but someone or even I could make that in a quick minute or two.

But I see what you're saying. Just, the waythe game is made doesn't make it so friendly since the mod tools allow players to modify just about, if not, every aspect of the game.

So maybe it expands for the modding future over the practical future? I'm unsure.

There is mod support? I did not know this.

Woudl it mess with my friends? Like, I'm on a twitch stream playing through the game legit; it would not make some sort of mod mismatch error between us (the streamer is host, not me) or otherwise mess them or me up?

I never used it myself but from your post I take it https://docs.larian.game/Console doesn't work? To me one article reads like it should work but the other suggests ReCon doesn't work with the game, only the editor. Haven't tried it myself though.

well usually , it's better that everyone download the same mods when they play together .

Mods are simple.

They disable achievements, as a fore-warning if you or the streamer in question cares for this.

But you merely download them, both of you enable them in the same load-order. And then play as intended.

Most mods will work during existing save games as well. Although I recommend playing with them from start to finish rather than joining in.

But all players need the mods in the same order, typically.

Oh dang. I would play with mods solo, but not when streaming with him.

Are mods easy to disable? Like, via an ingame menu or anything?

A console would be really helpful. They always are. I actually don't understand why games don't always have them when possible. You can debug so many things with them, and set very precise value for each setting without editing a config file.

Yes, on the main menu, actually. It literally has a Mods Button. Just tick them on and off to enable/disable them.

To be fair, most "exact values" for things are hard-coded into the game, which wouldn't make them easy to alter but things like how much AP you recover or how many Talent Points you get per level is indeed a simple variable edit. From 1 to 3. Done.

But that requires editting packaged data and then repackaging it, which is why (I think) such things are restricted to mods. But who knows?
