I am trying to get into the console, I understand that it says to hit the ~ key to get in. But For some reason when i do, nothing comes up for me to be able to use.
Any help with this would be nice, Thank you for your time.

* The left side of the console might not be visible if you are not using a widescreen display. In this case, type several tabs to move the cursor in before entering your commands. They will still work.

OR

* Go into your Fallout New Vegas install directory, find Fallout_default.ini (make sure it is not read-only) and open it in notepad. Then use ctrl+f to find the iConsoleTextXPos line and change the 30 to a larger number, 200 for example. This will make the console appear in the right place.

If you cannot pull up the console, check Control Panel - Device Manager - Keyboards for Microsoft home MCIR devices. These interfere with the Tilde (console) key. Remove these devices and restart Fallout New Vegas. You should now be able to enter console mode. Also works for Fallout 3.

All righty then....I think some people have to actually use a mod to make it work for them (in FO3 as well). You can read http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1678503 about it (it also has a link to a mod (requires NVSE). )

There's also a possibility of a registry tweak but I'm leery of recommending those.
