Overview
The play command allows you to switch control from the character you are currently playing as to a different character.
The syntax of the command goes like this: play [character id]. You replace the [character id] with the ID of the character you wish to switch to. For example, if you wanted to take control of a character with an ID of 140, you'd type play 140 into the console.
This command can be helpful in a variety of situations. Perhaps you are interested in playing as a different character in order to experience a different role or to pursue a different strategy.
Or maybe the character you were originally playing has died, and instead of succession happening normally (going to your character's heir), you'd rather switch to a different character.
