I did the double perk glitch in New Vegas on my 3rd character (But only releveled to 10, I love leveling up in games). I did the infinite skill points exploit in Mass Effect 2 for my 5th Shepard playthrough. I used the infinite Discord bug on my 4th BL2 Mechromancer.

I'm a cheater when I play my single-player campaigns. But I never do it on the first few characters or playthroughs. And I have fun messing around with these kinds of exploits/glitches. Adds some new dimensions to the game for me.

Anyone else a dirty, dirty cheater? Confess now, teh end is nigh.

Only when I've beaten the game from all angles, and specially when I get bored. Although, sometimes one has to cheat on your first play through when you get stuck on a rock by a stupid glitch and have to resort to the game's console commands to get you out of there*like Morrowind* xD

Not really. To me cheating is short and sweet, but quickly takes the joy out of the game for me. When something difficult can be solved with minimal effort, or the game doesn't prove a challenge anymore, it loses my interest. I've cheated in several games, but I rarely do anymore because I know how I'll feel about it afterwards. Sometimes it discourages me completely from playing the game, even non-cheating style.

Except for spawning [censored] in GTA games, that's always fun.

Sometimes I cheat in a single player game to mess around. But any character I do it with I either reload or quit playing as itjust becomes unfun somehow. So I tend to avoid cheating unless I am just measing around.

Edit: wrong quote.

I don't cheat often, but there been a couple of games I've cheated in the second time I play them, like getting all the force powers from the start of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. Or using the slowmo cheat in the Hitman games to get very precise hits.

Oh yeah, I also cheated in Skyrim a number of times when I met a dragon for the 1298th time. Such a bother, so I just bring up the console, click on the dragon and write "kill"

Also only after ive done a few runthroughs, the weirdest one was Starcraft wings of liberty, i typed the cheats in and it disables the achievements, but it kept prompting me that i had the cheats enabled, then it popped up with you have the cheat achievement, you are a cheat, i was so proud of my achievement.

No, i don't cheat anymore. Though i don't mind using console commands or other tools to tip the odds to my favor.

"Oh look, enemy dropped the Emperor with Fire Electric element, just what i need for my shock focused Mechromancer!"

"Ah, that chest contained the Ebony Gloves Boots i was missing"



And when an enemy kills me in a Bethesda game, i type "killall". Mutually Assured Destruction, [censored]es

What is the New Vegas double perk glitch?

I don't generally cheat in games when I'm trying to beat them. Though afterwards I'll totally bust out the console and do stuff like http://youtu.be/54eNUMU7O9c?t=1m21s.

I know -why- Bethesda games can't do this... but I really would love to see it happen in Fallout.

I don't cheat in most games. I'm not trying to act "holier-than-thou", but it ruins the game. Everytime I do cheat, I just lose interest in the game and it becomes boring and dull.

Now GTA, I cheat a whole hell of a lot. I don't care if it screws the game up. Cheating in GTA is just so much fun.

I cheat at all single player games. I love invincibility or god mode. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. I play for me. No one else. I don't care about achievements or scores.

I cheat when I want to cheat, that is, usually when I buy a game I play it once to completion without using any guides at all and then if I am still interested in a game it is usually to mess around in it, try things I have not tried before and seeing what is possible.

This is why I don't tend to like hack and slash or platform games as they are only good for exactly one playthrough using these criteria.

With a game like New Vegas, I know it through and through now. So if I start a new game and there are shortcuts I can take to achieve a certain goal faster I will take it.

I don't know if that is 'cheating'. I would like to hear more about this double perk thing, google is less than helpful.

I never saw playing around with the mechanics in Morrowind as cheating, even when I created godlike spells and abilities. I had earned that, by virtue of learning the game mechanics so well I knew exactly what would work and what would aid me.

Things like using a cheap drain skill spell to use trainers very cheaply I never saw as cheating. I saw it as a smart usage of the tools available to me and something that I had very much earned by figuring out it would be possible in the first place, something which requires an intimate knowledge of how the game works and which is not normatively available to a player the first, or even third, playthrough.

You cheat and get to level 50 before you leave Goodsprings.

Then when you leave, you relevel and get to keep all of the perks you had already chosen.

Ah I see, now I understand why google talks about getting xp when I look up this glitch, I had forgotten about the respec.

From what I gather it requires joining the Powder Gangers, something that on most playthroughs doesn't appeal to me.

It does sound interesting as it is a way to gain perks without levels, and that would be very helpful. In my opinion levelling is about two to three times as fast as is enjoyable in both Fallout, New Vegas as well as Skyrim and for the first two, if I was on pc I would just mod out all quest xp rewards.

I don't cheat in single player games, I enhance game play.

The rules of games are not written by the government or gods so they are not legally binding or sacred. Nor are the game police going to come break down my door when I play the way I want to. Ultimately, it is the experience or fun that I have during a session that is important. I adjust the game to give me that experience or level of fun. To that end, I cheat to make a powerful character or I make a weak character depending on the game and what I want to do with it.

I used to play Splinter Cell: Blacklist on Normal difficulty then I found out Rookie mode gives you infinite pistol ammo so now I'll only play on the Rookie setting. Okay I know that doesn't count as cheating but other then unlimited Pistol ammo and enemies take a fraction longer spotting you there's really no difference playing on Rookie difficulty then on Normal. now there is a major difference on the higher difficulty settings but I an't touching it .

The only times I've cheated in video games have been on the snes (namelly the Super Star Wars games and Super Valis IV), and Marrowind on the PC.

Doesn't even seem worth it to wait that long to get to level 50.

For some reason, "Kill" never works on dragons for me, but it does nearly everything else. I thought it was intentional; like the devs' way of saying, "No, you fight that dragon. You go to him. We spent a long time making thousands of dragons so you had better fight them."

But I will cheat at times in single player games. Whenever I feel like it. I always use the money cheat in The Sims series because I can't be bothered playing it right, for example. If I have to be somewhere in GTA IV, I will spawn a helicopter. If I'm feeling jumpy in a dungeon in a Bethesda game, I'll tgm my way to victory!

For Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind, my husband and I call them "spells". "I used the might spell for this dungeon," or in the case of tcl "Looks like we need the levitation spell!"

I also like making huge or tiny dumpy looking characters in Fallout 3. And spawn a party hat for the ultimate in Wasteland traversing.

Only on characters that are made for that purpose. Orin games like GTA where that is half the entertainment value of the game

If I had exhausted a game already but yet I want a new playthrough, I do cheats so I can see what armor and weapons look cool together and on my guy as well as leveling up faster so I do not have to waste time on that again. After I get a character how I want him, I up the difficulty and then play the game normally

I took Here and Now at level 10 though so I can level as normal instead of starting out at level 50 and not leveling at all.

I use cheats or exploits in singleplayer. SP to me is all about fun, not necessarily needing to be difficult.

For example, while I'll check out the very hard difficulties of Total War games, I don't like a lot of what it brings - bonuses to the AI etc. So I'll just play those games in easy or normal, or give myself a bit of extra cash to get to a certain unit faster, because it gives me more enjoyment than rushing without thinking.

I only cheat to make a game harder. Otherwise the game becomes boring really quick and I move on.

Depends on the game. I usually only do it to speed past tedious obstacles, though. I play games to have fun, not do chores, dammit!

People who cheat at multiplayers games online, though...
