Cheats?

[Fejj]

So I've been playing this game a lot on my brother's computer, and the one thing that I notice is that this game is unbelievably and sometimes frustratingly brutal(I've been describing it as "2D Dark Souls on Cocaine")
Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good challenge and I thouroughly enjoy the game, but are there cheats or the like? I know a few of the game file tweaks but I kind've want to make a save where I'm just incredibly OP so I can focus on the story instead of "OMG is my crusader/highwayman/hellion/etc going to survive this?" Is there some advanced tweaks or outright cheats that let me do this?

I dont know why but games in general now a days dont tend to have cheats anymore. As for DD, no you can mess around with the game it self like you said but no, there are no cheats

That makes me a bit sad as I don't want to have to reset my tweaks every time I start a new game or fresh wipe.

I think it's possible to edit some files to change your heroes stats and levels. Someone mentioned that when people complained their heroes had automatically levelled up to 5 before they could beat veteran bosses.
I wouldn't know how to do it, though.

The game is very open to mods and it has built-in options that make it very accessible for casual players. I won't play the game for the story though. It is more about the background and overcomming difficult situations than anything else.

Why not try to enjoy the game the way it is? There really is no need to obsess over this or that perk/quirk or a specific hero, they might make a certain dungeon easier/harder but nothing game breaking.

Everyone is ofc free to play their singleplayer game any way they want, but when someone "gets sad" because he or she "have to reset tweaks" in the game files, I think the point of the game has been missed, and THAT is sad.

I have the same problem and the solution for me to enjoy this game is to play with mods that you can find on nexus.

Well I have 2 legitimate saves and one I have tweaks on, basically what I do with Bethesda games too, lol. I just really start sucking about mid-game because my money management sucks and so end up having to wipe quite often. I'm not mad about it, I have to do it with all the Mount & Blade games as well, but those have cheats as well, where I can make a god character and rule the world.

Best "cheat" I know of is to get good scouting. Take heroes with scouting ability in that area. Use trinkets that give scouting. Use scouting camping skills.

This way, you avoid your party being surprised. And you can very often use traps to lower stress. And you can locate hidden rooms for big cash bonuses. And in many dungeons you can pick your route in such a way as to avoid a lot of trouble, and so as to camp at the most beneficial time.

I suppose the power of scouting can almost feel like a cheat at times but really it's just a basic tactic everyone should be aware of. It makes the world of difference to any run.

Dismas, that first Highwayman, has +20% scout chance in everywhere except the Wealds, and I definitely know how useful it is. It's not so much a cheat as good luck and basic tactics though.
