This is one of the first Unreal Engine games I've played with no console available.

I typically like to use it along with the UE3 commands.... well, really just to take screenshots and have more fun with the game after I've played through it.

Right now I'm implementing dirty hacks for noclipping and a "free camera" but I'd love to have the actual console \ console commands.

good question. i would wager that there actually is a console its just not enable to the ~ key. there is probably a way to go into the config.ini and turn it on but idk how at the moment. anyways my first play thru will be pure and my second will be console

Assuming there is a console. I think they stripped it from the game. I mean I can enable it pretty easily in Borderlands 2, another UE3 game. But in this game, it seems impossible

Someone on Reddit found out how to bring it up, not sure how viable it is to use: http://www.reddit.com/r/dishonored/comments/117n98/open_the_console_by_mashing_as_the_game_is/

Useless. As soon as you close it, you can't get it back. And theres nothing useful to do from the console at the menu screen...

Neat, I assume the FPS command would work from there so you easily see what FPS you get?

It appears to not accept any typical Unreal Engine commands. It says "command not recognized" after everything I type. Tried basic commands like "shot" which is usually used to take a screenshot. Seems like a debug console they left in by accident...
