Uber-cheater. Trying to control myself now though. (almost completely legit monk, just add money to him sometimes)

ive never cheated usin TESCS, and only ever used the unlock console command for Isengard mod and abandoned flat...

in fact, im such a purist that in my latest thieves guild assignment i have to retrieve that book called Boethiah's pillow or sumthin and theres a locked level 75 chest which im certain has it inside, and i cant open it. In fact, how do i open it? where can i buy high enough level lockpicks to open it? someone help please!!!!

lol

cheers

No, i hate cheating, because most cheats ruin the game, and when i learn a cheat i canīt stop using it its terrible :blink:
When i was playing doom 2 (great game) my brother told me how i could become imortal (with the glowing green eyes biggrin.gif ) and i never stoped using it sad.gif



Ps: Mainly because of the monsters <_< I was 9 at the time tongue.gif That was the first game i played in my all powerful computer who had windows 3.9 ( i think thats what its called) and had 500mb in its hardrive biggrin.gif

Try using a masterīs lockpick, if not train ph34r.gif smile.gif
piojitoewok
level 75 lock, i think around lvl 50 security with a masters lockpick you should be able to open it. but dont take my word for it as stealth isnt something that i go with, im a mage at heart so i have lock opening spells smile.gif

if you still cant open it tho, just go thru the main story line, and your bound to come across a locksplitter scroll, which opens up to a 100 level lock, SAVE beforehand, cause if its not in there, im sure you can find MUCH better uses for that spell smile.gif

About cheating, i only cheat when its absolutely necesary, or when i get really greedy. Like in that third or fourth quest, its the first to join the ashlanders, that you go into the burial, everyone knows the magebane (glass claymore biggrin.gif) is there, but theres also glass greaves hanging up there and i totally forgot to pickup a levitation spell, i disable clipping, fly over, grab the greaves and nothing else, come back, and when i get back to town i figure out how much i would have payed, and then go into odai river and drop cash at the bottom of the river, in other words i have like 6k cash built up down there from the begining of the game at random areas along the river smile.gif

anyone up for sifting for gold in the river tongue.gif

i dont really like cheating. i cheated the game rotten when i first played and it destroyed it. so now i just stick to playing it legit cos its overall a lot more satisfying

but i do mess around with a cheat char now and then. tongue.gif

also, i'll move the topic for ya

I dont think you can use that spell to open chests, just doors



Ps: Correct me if iīm wrong smile.gif

Uhhh I use the console to give NPCs I have to escort 1000 athletics and waterwalking because I am impatient and hate to wait for them all the time biggrin.gif

Those kind of things...
Peregrine
I just don't see the point of cheating... I mean, killing vivec in one hit, infinite health and all that get boring after about 5 minuites. The only time I would "cheat" is fixing an obvious bug. The only mods I use, I use for the content (new player models, etc), not how powerful they make my character.
tmons78
the only real good use of the console is when i get stuck somewhere, and i disable clipping. i can then free myself, and the turn clipping back on. that's all i try to use it for, but i am guilty of sometimes doing the coc command (you know, just did a long quest, forgot to save, CTD, then repeat). as opposed to doing the whole thing over again, i coc to the point, then do it, and go back. wink.gif
Daigoro
where can i buy locksplitter scrolls? and what is the console command to tun off clipping? is it just noclip?
Dr. Corbett
I give you the noclipping cheat only with great trepidation as it can ruin much of the game.

TCL

I wish I didn't know a single cheat. And that is that. However, I do, and I can't help but use them to rescue my character from certain death. :-(

corbett... you're... ALIVE :blink:

where have u been neways?? tongue.gif

sorry 2 go off topic but havent seen u on here for aaages.

and whats wrong with TCL? its not really a cheat unless u use it 2 pass thru walls etc its a good bug-fixing tool tongue.gif
HornedReaperMJL
I'd have to agree TCL is a MAJOR nessity when i play and jump around sometimes i fall THROUGH the floor after that if i dont turn on TCL fast i get thrown into a black void falling down onto some ground until i die <_< . I avoid cheating because it really does ruin the gameplay but i do tend to exploit some little buggies such as the self enchanting. But if you plan on using a plugin to add a NPC that buys everything at full price that has like 1 million gold you might as well be cheating for the money instead.

By the way how would you consider 2 constant effect items i always have 1 is a restore fatigue 8 points the other is a ring that restores 4-5 points (i take whichever amount i get). Now would this be called cheating in a way i should i be chugging potions everytime i get a little bruise, cut or a little fatigued??????
miltonic
My last name is McLegit. Not really, but I'm playing my current character without any cheats, so I've struggled for every gold farthing.

I played before with a single mod that ruined the gameplay, basically it made it where the Creeper had 100000 gold and he would buy any item. Needless to say, I abused this system and soon became too rich for money to have any value in the game. I've repented my ways and I'm on the straight and narrow.
HornedReaperMJL
Bah i dont need such a pathedic mod i got my Mark spell at the mudcrap merchant with loads of goodies sitting around (bet plenty of thieves would want that collection) during 1 day i can make 15k gold but i earned this money as i killed, stole and worked for the items i sold.

Its not cheating if its in the game and its not a glitch or bug PERIOD. Least thats the way i see cheating although fortifying your intelligence to enchant items would probably be a bug since all the potions WILL stack like i said one of those things the players must decide if its legit or not. Maybe i'll start a character that doesnt enchant their own items some time.
Vaa
I dont even know how to cheat so that one was simple, next question please. wink.gif
Rune
Vaa, you cheat by upping your levels in the console, or using God Mode, and creating ultimate weapons in armor in the construction set.

I'm a purist. Cheating just takes away all the fun from the game. Games are meant to be challenging, and they should be.

But sometimes I get really pissed off and upload my Almighty Sword of Phil... then wreck havoc across Morrowind. rolleyes.gif
grenthar
i tried to cheat but couldn't get codes to work,
my friend say's the only way to play is with potion stacking
i don't really see the fun in that
so the only way i cheat is if a mod adds npc's or more stuff to do
thanateros
cheating, bleh, even when i modify the game it's to make it more enjoyable for myself. i only use mods that i know won't unbalance the game. there are so many weapons out there just are disgusting. i mean cmon, a dagger that does 200 damage, gimme a break. but cheating for me is defined by altering the game in such a way as to cause an unfair advantage to the player. sometimes i use the console command to readd items to the game that i had aquired but were lost when i modified the chest they were in (kicks self).

other than that unless you're really motivated to cheat then it's too much effort to give yourself that uber powerful weapon of Smashy de Brains. that makes the game what...utterly worthless and to me it disrespects the insane amount of time and effort on the part of developers to ensure the game is balanced so even high level characters can experience a challenge.

nah thats not cheating. i have a restore health item myself. it really doesnt have any effect in battle against a heavy hitting opponent when u have like 744 health. and its useful so u dont have 2 keep resting/using potions because of damage u mounted up from a few nix hounds
ciddy
hahaha n my proper game, i havent cheated at all, exept to get intothe underwater cave on bloodmoon, cos the swimmer got in the way, so i moved the door up

for leaure tho im a uber cheater tongue.gif

hehehe, yeah i jump wayyy to much,and have been stuck *almost* evrywhere in-game :S

i sorta such- evry time i goto vivec mages guild via teleport, i jump down the stairs and ALWAYS fall through the floor :S
HornedReaperMJL
Sucks dont it i always jump as i travel since 1. after lvl50 its faster than walking and 2. its a quick easy way to increase the skill. I have yet to get a character with 744 health but i do know when you attack those critters in bloodmoon such as the spriggans you get womped good like 50 life a hit or more. I gotta say though a regen ring helps when you jump, fall and practically kill yourself for your stupidity of falling off high ledges or trying to fly without a levatate spell. :lol:
OddGuy
im completely addicted to cheating, ive been trying to stop, but im finding it VERY hard, and the farthest ive ever got a character w/out cheating is my level 1 High Elf Mage. Yes, you read that right. Level one.
OddGuy
hey cool, that was my 100th post!
Shakkara
Hmm, cheating is addictive yes, if you start with it you will use it more and more over time... Until you stop or ruin the game.
HornedReaperMJL
Cheating really ruins the game even with being frustrated so badly on some quests in bloodmoon such as the werewolf ones. I couldnt heal but did i do the worst thing and put on god mode NO i stuck it out and eventually i became human again MUAHAHAHAHA they didnt stand a chance against me then. I ownestly dont know how a lvl24 character as a werewolf can die with a few hits of weapons its rediculous.

Hope your able to stop your cheating urges if you have the cheats written down cast them into the flames and be gone with them but if you memorized them you have some big problems. The question is WHY do you cheat?

i used 2 cheat the game rotten when i first had it. in the end it just got so bad that i stopped playing the game altogether, only when i came back and played legit did it "rekindle the flame" tongue.gif
HornedReaperMJL
You know now that i think of it for you people you need a cheat to disable cheats :blink: . Honestly what fun is it if you create a new character and your already wearing the toughest armor you can steal? unsure.gif . If you want to do that GO STEAL IT INSTEAD OF CHEATING works wonders and its legit. Just check those quick start guides and you'll be powered up in no time all legit wise.

That god mode cheat comes in handy when you need it and the additem cheat if you cant find something.
Peregrine
But then all you're doing is destroying the point of the game. How is it any fun to kill things with no danger, or to find every item without doing the quest? Trust me, don't use obvious cheats like that... its much more fun.
eldritch
Cheating is an admission that the game beat you. Power gaming is the way to go.
4nother3ntity
No no no, not to cheat to kill a guard or something, i mean when you saved at the wrong time and your fighting someone or a party of people waay stronger than you and your out of health, and fatigue potions and no amslivi or divin intervention it comes helpful, ive only used it about 3 or 4 times because of my ill preparedness (if thats even a word). I cant find the bone biter bow in that tomb so i just used the additem for the bone biter.

As for cheating....I try to play the game straight the first time round - though I've used the tcl cheat - not really a cheat IMO. I mean, it was up to Bethesda to make sure you couldn't get stuck in the landscape in the first place! :blink:


Oh yeah, and cheating is invaluable for mod testing!
Smite_Plight
Actually bethesda did provide for getting stuck in the landscape. instead of using tcl just type fixme and you'll be good as new without the dirty feeling of cheating.


as for me ... for about a month i cheated so bad i couldn't stand the game anymore. I'd give myself like 300000 gold and then go trainer hopping and if something looked like it might kill me then a little clickity clack on the keyboard and i'd be in godmode.

but really with a little effort you can get around anything without cheating. while your still level one you should be able to afford and use(with varying success) a distanced 100 open spell. and if tou go do some alchemy at the white haven shop you should be able to levitate , and have a full purse too, any time you want to out of the reach of baddies that are many levels above you and fling arrows and spells at them without taking any damage.

so cheaters stop cheating, exploiting is way more fun.
Switch
lol yeah exploiting's fun. i dont even do that tho really tongue.gif still get that dirty feeling of cheating with exploiting... well most of the time neways biggrin.gif
Black Rhap
Used to be a big cheater. God mode, Edit stats. The only thing that kept me in the game were the mods and those got boring. Finally I came back to morrowind and I'm relatively legit...yeah. I don't cheat a whole lot rolleyes.gif but I try to progress through the game at a good pace so I don't completely bore myself trying to level and everything.
White Wolf
I don't really cheat, but I do use mods, though only ones that are balanced for the game, or, at most, make the game only slightly easier, such as one mod I use that puts a chest into the Seyda Neen customs and excise office that gives you a suit of light armour with 2 points feather and 1% chameleon constant effect on each piece. I don't see the point of going further than this, as it destroys the whole game if you do.
