A little poll about the console
1. do you consider it a tool for tweaking and configuring your
game - or is it a downright cheat? And does it make a
difference whether it is used in connection with the
pre-game customisation before you start playing,
or later, in-game?
2. If you consider it a cheat - are there exceptions? Situations
where you won't hesitate to use it, and where you will even
find it a useful tool?
3. If you think it is a usefool tool, are there exceptions where
you find it IS a cheat?
4. How often - if at all - do you use it for getting info, resetting
the game, recovering items, or fixing accidentally broken
quests in order to avoid returning to an earlier savegame or
starting with a new character?
5. Do you - or have you - used the console as a 'treasure
chest'. Giving yourself a cure, restore attribute, a sorely
needed item or potion ?
6. Finally - Have you ever used it as a teleport, with
the 'coc', 'position' or 'positioncell' commands?

My own answers is
1. a tool basically. If it is used before I start. Used later, in-game
it is a cheat
3. A cheat if the motive is to give your an advantage, like avoid
being killed by going into god-mode, or a quest item because
you are too lazy do search properly
4. resetting using 'ra' or 'fixme' is often unavoidable. And
using 'placeatpc' is useful and acceptable. Npc's who are
on duty providing travel services, or other things sometimes
gets very lonely if you seldom use them. They wait for you at
the nearest bar. The cnsole then, is like a sign, saying:
'ring the bell, and I will be back'
5. Restoring attributes, yes, often - and temporarily removes
the vampire sun spell, when a travel service lands me at the
the location in broad daylight. I put it back when i get indoors
6. I like teleporters. If a mod don't have one, I make it.
My favorite mod is varcusio tower outside Balmora.
The corridors are lined with tapestries and braziers
And they are all teleporters, but I use the construction
set, and not the console
