Good try.

Maybe, I dont think so. Up to now, the game displayed a lot of debugging information IN the game if you had the debug switch on. Unit numbers, Item info, etc. And the debug console allowed you to change things in the game in order to quickly check something out. So those in-game access to debug info have been removed.
However there is still a -d switch which allows access to a debug file much as Dom3 has in case anyone was wondering and uses that as much as I do.
