Neverwinter Nights 2 Tweak Guide
[Page 8] Advanced Tweaking (Pt.2)
Console Commands
The command console in Neverwinter Nights 2 allows users to apply various tweaks or changes to the game 'on the fly' while playing. To open and close the console, press the '~' key (or the key above TAB and/or below ESC) on your keyboard. To see the console text clearly you may have to disable any Antialiasing you have enabled. To implement a console command, simply type its name along with any parameters required. Importantly, for many commands to work, you will need to load up a game, and then enable debug mode by entering the following into the console then pressing ENTER:
DebugMode 1
Update: The console commands appear to no longer be case sensitive as of the 1.10 patch. The full list of updated console commands is provided further below in alphabetical order, however I provide full descriptions for the most useful commands first:
showfps - Toggles the frames per second (fps) display on/off.
trees - Toggles the rendering of all trees on/off. Useful for temporarily improving FPS in outdoor areas.
renderwater - Toggles the rendering of water on/off. Useful for temporary FPS boost in areas with water.
rain [0,1] - Toggles rain effects on if set to 1, off if set to 0.
daynight - Toggles the day/night cycle.
wireframe - Toggles wireframe mode on/off, useful for seeing the amount of detail actually being rendered/calculated in any area, even if it's not directly visible on screen.
gfxoptions - Brings up a special Graphics Options dialog box with a multitude of graphics-related settings you can change, including shadow intensity, toggling the day/night cycle, toggling rain on/off and altering the Bloom lighting parameters.
rs kr_roster_edit - Opens the NWN2 Companion Roster Editor, with a proper interface for adding, removing and altering various parameters for companions.
SetSTR, SetDEX, SetCON, SetINT, SetWIS, SetCHA [Value] - Right-click select a target, and use these commands to alter the relevant attribute to the value you wish. For example, right-click select your own character and use SetSTR 18 to give him/her 18 Strength.
givefeat [ID or all] - Select a character then use this command with the appropriate feat ID/name to give them that feat, or use 'all' to give them every feat.
giveitem [ID] [Number of items] - Select a character then use this command to give a particular item to the character, along with how many of that item to give. The list of ID tags for items can be found by launching the NWN2 Toolset, going to the Plugins menu item, selecting 'Universal Blueprint Changer', then selecting Items in the new dialog box and finding the appropriate name under the Tag column.
givespell [iD] - Select a character then use this command to give a particular spell to the character. The spell IDs can be found by launching the NWN2 Toolset, going to the View>2DA File menu option, then selecting the Spells file and using the number under the Name column.
givexp [value] - Select a character then use this command to give them the specified number of experience points.
dm_givegold [value] - Right-click select a character then use this command to give them the specified amount in gold pieces.
dm_god - Enables God mode, meaning you can't be killed.
The following are all the 207 console commands for Neverwinter Nights 2 as of the latest patch. Aside from DebugMode needing to be enabled for most of them to work, remember that many of them require you to load up a game and either be the active character, or right-click select a particular character to apply a command successfully.

For most intents and purposes the majority of these commands are relatively obscure diagnostic/debugging features, act as cheats or alter functions which can easily be changed using the in-game settings. However if you find any particular commands you believe would be genuinely useful to most players, and wish to have their description added at the top of this page, please Email Me with the details.
The next section brings the guide to a conclusion with some important tips and tweaks.
