Are there any small ways you allow yourself to cheat in games?
Whether through mods or console commands, what have you.
One mod I use every time in Kotor is making Pazaak actually worth playing by increasing how much you can bet per hand. In the vanilla game you can’t even really win enough to justify buying new cards, so why bother I say? Cleaning out all the players on a planet can give you shit loads of cash to spend on the really OP gear if you know where to find it, but that’s sort of what I’m looking for at that point.
Another cheat I use is in FONV where I’ll eventually just give myself the late game perk that shows all the undiscovered map locations. You can’t fast travel until you actually go there, but you at least know where they are. Part of this is because I sometimes forget which godforsaken caves are full of fucking Deathclaws, so I’d prefer to avoid them until I’m ready.
Another is that it bothered me that the “access” abilities like Lockpicking and Hacking, as well as crafting, was locked behind level gated perks in FO4. So I’d use the chest console to give them to myself. Although I would wait until the level they unlock so I could at least preserve the gear curve.
