Are there any penalties incurred upon your game when entering cheats?
Also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you enter cheats there is a chance the entire game can be irreparably damaged. But that may have been from incorporating mods instead.

There is no guarantee that a game editor will do what you want, or even leave your saved game playable. Always, always, do a backup of that saved game before editing.Sakari wrote:Also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you enter cheats there is a chance the entire game can be irreparably damaged.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Ok, but regardless it will not mess up the ENTIRE game correct? Aka, lose everything and need to reinstall?fable wrote:There is no guarantee that a game editor will do what you want, or even leave your saved game playable. Always, always, do a backup of that saved game before editing.

Aside having a 'Cheat Enabled' notice in front of the save game's picture, I have yet to encounter serious issues as a result of using them. I probably suspect that some mods will cause issues with the game rather than inputting cheat codes.Sakari wrote:Are there any penalties incurred upon your game when entering cheats?

''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
Ehh, forget it.
I Tried adding a few items and frankly, it is really boring and takes the fun out of the game. It makes all those great items not so amazing anymore. I typically never cheat for this exact reason but I was trying to get that high grade armor from Fassa at the docks of Nar Shaddaa as I explained in my other post, and doing that is extremely tedious and annoying so I got impatient.
The thing is, I legitimately found more or less all of the best items you can find in the game before the end of the last one I played. So cheating just seems pointless. And let me also say, that the Malak Armor was really disappointing. I thought it was actually going to look like what Malak wore in KotOR I. Ohh NOOOO Mr. KOOL-AID! After you put it on, you read the "small-print" at the bottom saying it is rumored to have been used by Malak BEFORE the war... Lame. It just looks like Jal Shey Armor only a little reddish.

All helmets are based on the same 4 or so designs. That was the dealbreaker for me after cheating. Neverwinter Nights had more variation.

The only time I ever had a problem with cheating was when I used the SGE to change my PCs appearance to that of a NPC. That causes the game to crash if the PC has to dance for the Hutt (I presume it's something to do with the bikini costume). But there were no other repercussions; I could reload the game just fine.
Well to be honest I used some cheats in my game and, I don't know if anybody else had this problem happen to them, but every time I gain light side points, my party members go in the opposite direction. I.E. I could be completely full on the light side scale of things where as my party members, droids and all, will be (almost) full/filled on the opposite side of the scale, aka me=light, party=dark. I just have one question about that, WHY!?!? Also it works in the opposite sense, ie me=dark, party=light, except of course Kreia.
