into the console. Just make sure that you aren't typing in the name of a file that actually exists. For me, this does nothing on windows. On arch linux 64-bit, it made openmw go to a black screen that I could not exit from.

Also, if you hold down the button assigned to "jump" you'll bunny hop along forever.

Another thing I noticed: There is is no tint underwater, once you dive in everything below the surface looks like above, but the outside is tinted.

Also, are we aware that "dead" NPCs don't equip their clothing? This is the dead tax guy, Processus Vitellius, near Seyda Neen. I check some other NPCs that are supposed to be dead, same deal, no clothes.
