Any way to cheat the stats?

[iemander]

I want to give my main character an edge by having him max a third stat. Any way in doing that?

[MrKrisSatan]

cheat engine?

[Medwynd]

I suppose by cheating...

[Mothman]

really? just have some fun and make a bad a@@ character.

[Decay Tempest]

Pretty much.

[Frosty]

I'm sure that something akin to the CLUAConsole will come out, but just enjoy it for itself the first run.

[SuspectedCrab]

Or you can play the game on easy......

[iemander]

Well, I made a fighter, but I want to focus on giving him nice dialogue options, so I gave him a resolve of 20.

But it sucks that his might is just 12 now, doesn't seem much of a fighter, him being so weak like that.

WHy would you want to do that..Don't you want any kind of a challenge. Cheating is for people who cannot play beat the game as it is.

You can always dump intelligence or so - the minimum for stats is 2-4, depending on your race. I, as Pale Elf, was able to get 57 out of the attributes, with everything at minimum. That's more than enough to get 20 Resolve, something like 15 Might and a bit of constitution, obviously all your other stats will suffer a bit.

It's more about role playing, I don't want to roleplay a weak character, but I don't want to lose the dialogue options.

If you played Baldur's Gate, you know this was easily resolved by just re-rolling untill you get great stats. No option of that here.

[iemander]

Well anyway... no one knows where the save files are located? Perhaps I can try editting them myself.

Again, I like role playing my character. Role-playing a character with 2-4 intelligence isn't really possible.

2-4 Intelligence...isn't really necessary?
I'll give you an example of a possible 20 Resolve Fighter I quickly made up ingame:

Male Human (Meadow Folk) Fighter
Might: 16
Constitution: 14
Dexterity: 8
Perception: 10
Intellect: 10
Resolve: 20

I don't see how this is >bad< in any way, shape or form? Hell, you could technically lower dex and/or intellect a bit more and it would still be playable.
Don't forget: 10 is, in those games, more or less the 'average' person attribue. The build above would just mean you're average in intellect and perception and a little bit more clumsy than the average Dude. No need to dump your stats to 2-4.

On another note, i did check if it's possible to cheat the Attributes with Cheat Engine - it's definitely possible, but still, you should play the game at least once with a >normal< character before you start making half-gods. On another note, there were possibilities to increase your base attributes in Baldurs gate, and I think in Icewind Dale too ; So we can assume that there are certain ways to improve your Attributes in Pillars as well.

[Free Luigi M.]

There are options to increase your stats legitimately in the game and to wear enchanted gear that does that too.
But yeah, there is a console in game that you can open with tilde (or ò in European keyboards?).
Not sure about commands though. IRoll20s I think was used by the devs during a live play. There are probably others with various effects.

[iemander]

Will check above.

Anyone else got any experience with this?
