Quick Overview

The help command is useful when you want to find the ID of an object in the game. This ID can then be used with other console commands.

For instance, entering help "Daedric" will display a list of all items and entities with Daedric in their name.

Remember to use quotation marks when your query consists of more than one word, such as help "ancient nord".

Once the results are shown, you can use the 'page up' and 'page down' keys to navigate through them.
