sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

 

Its my game, its single player, and I like playing it the way I like. I play games for fun, having my Arse handed to me 500 time just to be able to say I beat the game, always sounds like to me the game beat me.

 

as a rule I do not normally cheat on the first play through, but after that, no hold's bared.

 

Yeah me to i want to have fun to and for me if they ( the enemy ) kills me over and over again ( about 20 to 25 times ) then for me the fun is over then i also would say that the game beat me i would never make it to 500 times.

I cheated on Kaidan with Thane. I regret nothing.

 

I told this to one person before here in this topic that this is not the cheat that i was looking for .

Well, the title does say BioWare games!

True.

[Asha'bellanar]

I cheat in all of them.

 

I do usually do a playthrough once with no changes, mods, cheats, etc., to get a feel for the game and how it works and so on, and then I'm all about finding the cheats and the mods. This is one reason I waited about a year to get DA:I, actually. I wanted to wait for the modding community to come up with some good stuff, and for the online cheat guides and so on to be available (and I also wanted the read the reviews).

 

I use tweaks to fix stuff that annoys me, but mostly I do stuff like edit save files to alter things like money. I know, I know, you gain money as you go, yadda yadda yadda, but I don't need a game to remind me that it sucks to be broke and to want to buy stuff you can't afford.

 

I play mostly for the story, anyway, so having characters with really good armour very early on doesn't make me enjoy the game any less. Rather the opposite. The combat is always the least interesting part of the game to me, so anything I can do to make it so I can breeze through it pleases me. I'm one of those "Yeah, yeah, kill some stuff, now back to the party banter!" sorts.

 

I don't even really see it as cheating, to be honest. It's just adjusting the environment so I better enjoy my time spent in it. If it were a multiplayer game and I was cheating, uh, yeah, that would be an issue, because it's unfair to other people, but I only ever play in single-player mode, so the word "cheat" seems kind of wrong. Tweak, adjust, alter, sure. But to "cheat" implies some sort of unfairness or wrongdoing, and I'm certainly not doing anyone wrong.

 I have used the Skip the Fade mod, but only after several vanilla playthroughs. I feel like I earned it.

Oh, my Maker, yes! SOOOO tedious. First time I did the Fade I was rapt. Second time, I felt much more confident about it and was okay with it. Third time, I found it tedious. After that, I found the mod and have happily skipped it ever since.

I duplicate items for the sake of more cash in DAI. I do almost every side quest and there is no way you can even afford half the stuff from the Black Emporium without duping items. And I mod Paragon/Renegade points in ME because I don't like to play all paragon or completely renegade.

I agree with you when you play a game you mostly are some important person ( a Hero like Shepard or a Knight in shinning armor ) and in almost all the games that i played ( ME 1 at the moment ) there is always that money issue the "Hero" is always broke and that should not be the case here.

 

Btw i like your "Brave" avatar though .

I only used a single mod in Dragon Age: Origins and that was to add the Elven Helmet to the closet in Lothering which due to a bug wasn't there unless you modded it in.

 

Aside from that, I did get the benefit of leaving a chest with some materials in Dragon Age: Inquisition and then going back to have new items in it to find a couple of recipes after my first playthrough, but found it just as tedious and dropped the difficulty instead.

 

Edit:

 

Now if I could find a way to get Malachite x4 to complete that one task in my primary game I probably would do that now just to have completed all my quests because it is such a pain to find.

yeah those aer the only areas in games when I do cheat tbh but I tend to only do it to the point where it becomes playable for me.

 

Well honesty is key here in this topic  . 

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Yes. All I was missing was the option to brag about it later, then I would have really felt at-home! 

 

 

Oh, you meant cheating at the game, not the other kind! 

[Wavebend]

Nope

 

[Just Here For Popcorns]

Usually only when I used some mod like armor or weapon that could be only obtained with console command.

[PsychoBlonde]

I don't think there's such a thing as "cheating" in a single-player game.  Have I ever modified the game to change the gameplay experience?  Sure.  Usually I wait to do this until later playthroughs--I like to play through the entire game with access to all the abilities so when it's an option I give my PC a ton of XP.  For me, it makes it more interesting and helps me focus on messing with gear and stuff.  I was kinda bummed that there's no real console commands in DAI, but I suppose they couldn't have that with multiplayer.

Well how do you call using a "cheat" like godmode then or one hit one kill weapons ? ( and there are much more "cheats" out there )

[Patricia08]

Uh yes that was the kind of cheat that i was looking for so do you  ?

In a single-player game?  Super-easy mode.

 

You can't CHEAT in a single-player game because there are no RULES for how you "ought" to play it.  If your idea of gaming consists of seeing how far you can launch enemy corpses, go for it.

 

CHEATING means you get something you're not supposed to have by doing something illicit.  But there's nothing "illicit" you can do in YOUR OWN GAME, and what you get out of it is purely personal, too.  Both parts of the equation are missing when you're playing by yourself.

Well when i play a PC game i mostly do not have the option to "cheat" i have to get my "cheats" from the internet it is not an option in the game itself.

Now if I could find a way to get Malachite x4 to complete that one task in my primary game I probably would do that now just to have completed all my quests because it is such a pain to find.

Two ways that I know of. First, the chest duplication trick, but if you've already emptied the chest (which you find in a boat near where you fight the dragon in the Hinterlands), you're out of luck there.

 

Secondly, at NexuxMods there's a mod that alters the shop in Crestwood to have all kinds of rare and annoying-to-collect crafting things like ornamenal jewels (for banners), Ferelden locks (which you only get from drops with certain kinds of enemies in the Hinterlands), Venatori tomes, and so on. One of the things you can buy there is malachite.   (Oh, and everything is zero cost.)

 

It's a pretty big cheat as these things go, but it can save you if you accidentally sold the malachite when you got it because the game stupidly puts it into the "it's okay to sell this stuff" category without letting you know you might need it later. (It does that with the Ferelden medal of service, too, and you need that for a requisition, but you can also get one or more of them from drops).

The people who say that they don't cheat in any game can you tell me why not ? Are you really such die hard gamers that you do not need cheats ?

Good question because there are games out there that are at least for me way to difficult. They end up on my gameshelf never bin finished.  

[MrMrPendragon]

I cheated on DAI. I did glitches and exploits to get what I want at a faster rate, then cranked up the difficulty.

 

I just cannot be bothered with farming for crafting materials and RNG. I don't want to pick up metals and sh*t for hours.It hurts my own back just watching the Inquisitor take so long to bend down  to pick up something. Why couldn't they have designed it so that a menu just pops up as soon as you click loot? What's with that animation? It roughly takes 2-3 seconds for the loot menu to pop up.

 

I want my weapons with a backstory and deep inside some dungeon guarded by hordes of monsters and a few lieutenant monsters and maybe even a boss.

 

It just doesn't make sense to me that the bad*ssery of a weapon is directly proportional to the amount of metal you use in the smithy. Oh you crafted a sword with 8-slot Iron and it turned out sh*t, but you use 24-slot sword and it's suddenly usable. Is that sword thicker or something?

I don't like cheats. They defeat the purpose of the gameplay, unless done for testing/experimenting reasons (like testing mods or various outcomes). Singleplayer games are also easy in general (unless we're talking about Dark Souls), so I find Normal mode to be more than doable in most cases, no need for cheats.

 

Besides, these are the days of "Casual" and "Story-Mode" difficulty settings (especially in Bioware games) where it's actually difficult to die. You have to stand there not doing anything so that the AI has a chance to kill you. This is like a demi-god mode so why the need for cheats? I can speed run on Casual without breaking a sweat if that's what i wanted to do.

 

When playing on higher difficulty modes, that means I'm intentionally looking for more challenging gameplay so naturally I wouldn't want cheats.

 

Of course, singleplayer is a personal experience, everyone plays how they want.

 

Then there are Multiplayer/Competitive games, a whole different matter. Cheating here means being a ****. It's like going to a sports competition using drugs and steroids, it's simply an unfair advantage and disrespectful towards the opponents.

Shadow Keeper (now EE Keeper) for the Baldur's Gate series. Basically just used it to fix bugs and even out some levels if I decided I wanted to use another NPC. Alos, typically I use it to change Charname into a Tiefling, since Tieflings rule.
