Console is disabled for Survival?
I purchased the game as is. I play on PC because of access to tools like this, which is the case for MANY PC gamers. Dice it apart any way you want. Many people make heavy use of the console in Bethesda games, and always have. I get your point, but I purchased the game with full knowledge of the fact that I would have access to a debugging console. The only thing they're accomplishing by disabling the console is making me not want to play on survival because their game is full of freakin bugs.
How exactly is it cheating to use the console to get unstuck from a map texture? Am I cheating when a companion mysteriously disappears and can't be found anywhere, and I use the console to bring them back? Am I cheating when I toggle the free camera to get great screenshots?
'Cheating' has literally nothing at all to do with this. Most people playing on survival are doing it because of the challenge. If you don't want a really tough challenge, odds are you aren't even going to play on survival in the first place. I have no desire to use the console to exploit my way through the challenge that I willingly decided to take on. I simply want it to work around the countless bugs that I've encountered with this game.
