Who Cheats The Game

[Syd]

I cheat the game a little in the console, so, I was wondering if anyone else does the same.

[LemonSquints]

why would you cheat in skyrim once you start you can stop then you get bored of it i know cause i have done it with another game

[Cocaine]

If I'm doing a quest i rly don't want to do and I want to rush it, I type in "tcl" and run through walls and stuff and get er done :)

[Syd]

oh........I have the difficulty up and I add armor and weapons through the console to help wit hthe increased difficulty. I, also, do not use followers.

[Tamazara]

The only time I've cheated was recently when I was just really lazy after picking up a couple of mods, I was really excited to get them but way too lazy to go on a scavenger hunt finding all of the supplies to build them so I just spawned them, made my armor and happily went to bash some skulls in with my war axes. :)

I never beat any game with cheating. The most I would do is give myself infinite health (like in GTA, oblivion or skyrim) but that's just so I can play by the rules for the rest of the game. I think it's much more honorable when you do it that way rather than cheat at it.

You never beat any game with cheating but what do you think infinite health is? With that kind of cheating you don't enjoy the game. Don't get me wrong i definitely cheat for Skyrim. I just used the coc qasmoke room in the beginning and that's it.

I don't believe that having permanent health is cheating since it keeps you in the game with all the same abilities you would otherwise have anyways when you roam around.

Don't get me wrong.......what I do does not make the game much easier......what I do just helps with the increased difficulty and not using a follower. I was just intrested in who really cheats the game.

As I said, I never cheat in any way, not even in the way that helps to deal with increased game difficulty.

[ojaydakiss]

but it doesn't matter the difficulty if you never die right?

I used console to advance bugged quests, all the time. That's about it.

Lol at making the difficulty harder by giving you uber equipments. I have played the game since release, always on Master and no you don't need hax equipments to beat it. I even have buckets load of mods that make endgame harder, for example a Revered Dragon nearly oneshot me with Fire breathe despite my high Fire Resistance (~75%) and 600hp.

The only one time where I put difficulty under Master when I was on my mage, lvl 10, stumbled on a Dragon Priest. After 10 mins kiting double Impact Lightning Bolt I just figured F**K this, taking too long.

Having played Skyrim extensively on the 360 before getting it for the PC, I have absolutely no qualms about using the console to "cheat" at this game.

I love being able to instantly increase skills I used to have to tediously grind out. I love being able to add items to my inventory that I would have to meticulously "farm" for at vendors. I love being able to set my followers to a viable combat level. And far most importantly, I love being able to use the console to fix any bugs I encounter, be it items, quest objectives or shouts.

If using the console to circumvent laborious tasks and fix either simple or game-breaking bugs is considered cheating, then I suppose I'm just a filthy, gods-damned cheater.

i wish they woulda made skyrim harder

The only times I cheat is when I got so much stuff I don't wanna drop, I cannot afford some things, or when I get bored. The console commands I use are "coc [Place]", "tcl", "player.modav CarryWeight 5000", "player.setav Magicka/Stamina 4000", "player.placeatme/additem [000000F 99999]", "showracemenu", "psb", "kill", and rarely "killall".

Played Skyrim on the PS3 for a few months, then got smart and bought it on the PC. If you use the console too much, the game gets boring, but sometimes you just want to get stuff done quick, so then a little cheating doesn't hurt.
These days, the only things I cheat with is the carryweight command, and occasionally if there's something I really want, and I'm a bit short of Septims, I'll give myself a little extra money so I buy it (course, if I overdo it, sometimes later I'll use the additem f command to SUBTRACT money, if I'm feeling guilty - just put in -X for the value (X of course being the amount of money you wish to subtract).
You can also use additem (without typing "player" before it) while pointing at a merchant to give them an item you want, which you can then buy from them normally! (you're still spending the money, so at least I don't think it's really cheating then (ha, fooled myself!!) :)
