Will it have cheats?

That is my question will it have cheats?

Why would you need to cheat in an Rpg?

This game already has Easy difficulty. In Pillars of Ethernity for example Easy and Normal are EXTREMELLY easy. You even do not need brain to finish game.

Or because some people would rather enjoy the story and the puzzles without having to worry about boring poorly implemented repetitive combat, or because some people want to roleplay an all powerful demigod (or a potential archon, in Tyranny's case), or because some people enjoy the metagame of figuring ways around the game's limits, or because some people would rather enjoy all the content and items the game has to offer without having to waste time boringly grinding for currency, or...

Edit: and, of course, given how buggy this games tend to be, the lack of a dev console might easily make them unplayable, and thus be a reason not to buy them, at least until the bugs get fixed, which you can't count on happening any time soon if ever.

And, in any case, as others have already said, it's a single player game; how other players choose to play it doesn't affect you in the slightest, unless you lack the self control to avoid using these tools (which admittedly, given the fact that you apparently do lack the self control to use a civil tone - and proper grammar - and avoid insulting strangers on the internet over their perfectly valid opinions, is not a completely unreasonable possibility).

So, to answer the OP: YES it does have a (rudimentary) console; haven't tried it much, but as a test AddExperience worked (after using Iroll20s, although I didn't test it without it, so maybe it ain't needed), so other applicable Pillars of Eternity console commands will probably work, too.

As for Cheat Engine, cash is a float (ignore ring type, iron is 100 bronze is 100 copper, it's all a single value in the lowest metal), attributes and skills are 4 bytes (if you want to change them during character creation you have to locate them as usual - attributes are value as shown, skills are the amount of points you want to add, not the base value, but only change them on Cheat Engine once you're on the next character generation screen, otherwise you might break it and have to restart; best practice seems to be to do it when it asks you if you want to go through the conquest; set your attributes there, go back to skills so that you can see the updated bonuses and decide how much you want to add, go back to the conquest or no conquest screen, and finish tweaking). I haven't found the need to check for anything else yet, but this should get you started.

OP, there are console command cheats, as per standard, and there are trainers. Wait a few weeks / a month and there will likely be save-editors, too.

This being a single-player game, there's nothing wrong with cheating, if for whatever reason you feel it necessary / useful. And this being a statistically driven RPG, most people cheat a bit to experiment with builds, etc.

And what if someone, despite being intellectually brilliant, has physical health issues that impede them from easily going through the game even in the easiest settings? What if someone has little time to play the game as they did when they are younger, and despite that still want to buy the game to support the developers and enjoy reading a good story because they don't have as much time to learn and level, but still have plenty of fun reading it all as if it was interactive book? What if you stopped looking at your own belly button and started thinking about other's difficulties and the fact no one is imposing nothing on you, and you can go and play the game exactly the way you want neverthless?

Have a nice day sir.
