cheat codes

Post by HighLordDave »

Has there been any discussion about posting cheat codes on the various game pages for each game?

Some time ago, Buck started putting item codes on all of the equipment (at least for BG, BG2, and IWD). How about a list of the different built-in cheat commands to generate enemies, teleport to different areas, activate quests & romances, etc.

If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough.

There has been some discussion of doing this in the past, but I like to think of GameBanshee as more of a "spoiler" site and not a "cheat" site. I don't believe in using cheats, except for when I need to get a full map screenshot for a walkthrough or something similar. The only reason I ever added item codes to the BG, BG2, and IWD sites is because of the *massive* amounts of email we used to receive asking us for item codes. There are a lot of sites out there devoted to game cheats, and I doubt anybody who has ever played the Infinity Engine games has ever had a tough time finding out how to use the cheats.

However, it's not something I'm going to completely rule out for future games. If I feel that posting the cheats for one of our featured games would enhance a person's gaming experience, then I might post them. I'd have to have a lot of requests for them, though =).
