Is there a way to change the console key? The key won't work in-game on my keyboard.

If not, can a mod be made to change the console key?

I also have another question. I read this on the Fallout wiki:

Will using the console permanently make me unable to gain NV achievements on my account, or is it only for that gaming session or save?

Note that it requires FOSE...a link is provided on that page.

It works for Fallout 3, but does it work for New Vegas?

Oops. I forget where I was. I wouldn't try it then. FOSE is liable to mess you up. I'll edit a [REQz] into the title and maybe somebody can do it.

Once we get NVSE out the door, someone can probably remake this mod (assuming it can't be simply recompiled to work with NVSE.)

I googled and found an answer for my other question. If my source it correct; restarting the game will let me have achievements again.

Thanks for the help.

While we're on the subject, can anyone figure out why my console text is off the screen? Works fine in Windowed, not so in Fullscreen.

Is your game's resolution set to match that of your monitor?

Yeah, both running at 1280x1024. The text is, I'd guess, around 20 characters offscreen.

I think I had the same issue on my other computer while playing Fallout 3 on 1280x1024 resolution. Don't know the fix for it though.
