Bethesda games have always shared a common feature i.e. console commands. Sharing the same game engine, both Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 feature a large number of console commands and cheats. The console cheats and commands are fairly easy to use and provide effects that can make the Wasteland a more tolerable place for you Vault Dwellers.
From making your character invincible and fast traveling to simpler cheats like changing weather, the options are virtually endless. Entering console commands in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 is identical. We recommend trying out a couple of these Fallout cheats if you are having a hard time proceeding through the game.
