I know that some people approve and disapprove when it comes to this topic.
Some people say that cheating is okay because it makes the game more fun and can help you if you ever get stuck with a peticular bit of the game. Some people say it takes all the fun out of playing the game because it is no longer a challenge.
My opinion is that using cheats is fine, once I've completed a game (or maybe if im stuck or bored) I see if there are any cheats. Though they can sometimes cause problems, at the minute because ive been changing my influence everytime I look away Bao-durs got his black face paint on again and Atton looks like a corpse thats been sitting in the sun for a week, And im almost fully good now. Anyway my summary of cheats:
Cheats = fun and good, yet they can have some negative effects.
Ps: I tried to add a poll, yet I've never added one before so if it goes wrong, ignore it.
