West_Winds: Ok, so I looked up the console commands to give myself a weapon and turned on debug mode. I typed in giveitem nw_swsrp001 to get a rapier and it spits out an error message that it failed to create item. It does this no matter what code I put in. I'm just boned I guess. Great game design by Obsidian. I can see why it didn't do as well as the first.
Are you sure you got the correct item code ?
Besides, to give yourself items through console, all you have to do is enable Debug Mode , Right-Click on your character , type "giveitem <code> #" where # is the quantity of the item you wish to get.
