Skyrim...have you cheated?

[anthony87]

I use the console commands to give myself reagents/crafting mats that are available from vendors, but annoying to get. The best example would be daedra hearts. Alchemy vendors sell them, but to get one I'd have to jump all over the world checking every alchemy vendor several times each before they actually have one in stock. Instead, I just give myself one with the console and remove however much gold its worth.

Beyond that, I'll also use console commands to give myself crafting Smithing/Enchanting elixirs (the best +% pots you can find, not make), for the same reason.

Everything else I do legit though.

Actually a good way I've found to get daedra hearts is to go to Mehrunes Dagons shrine provided you've already finished the quest associated with it. The daedra there respawn so you can kill them and take their hearts.

(They respawned for me when I went back there once anyway. Not sure if that's the norm or just a glitch or something)

I play it on my 360, so I can't use those commands. I remember doing it in Morrwind, though.

I think that's a glitch. I've been by there once or twice since then and nothing was there. I'll fast travel right on it next time I play and see what happens though.

Occasionally I'll noclip to get up a cliff that I don't feel like navigating. Most recently, I moved to Lydia because I had no idea where she had gone (somehow she had ended up imprisoned in Riften Jail).

While Raj has cheated many, many times with strange, STRANGE women, but still love Wife Mjoll. Can not think of life without her!

We are like Skooma And Moon Sugar. Great together! And the good things almost usually, kind of, maybe outweigh the bad. Would rather end up nude on Imperial castle, then miss out on fun Raj can have! Not that it has happened before.

Oh wait, you mean "Cheat" Cheat. No, never have. And i do not consider it.

Yes, I have added 100 weight to my carrying capacity permanently. Did not know that levelling Stamina (as far as know, nothing tells you) increased your carrying cap. I played a pure Mage until level 20 or so anyway, so did not find out until recently, and for the first 5-15kg I thought it was a weird bug. I also added a few thousand when moving house from Whiterun to Windhelm.
Also, I downloaded a lockpicking mod. It shows me where the sweet spot is. Honestly only downloaded it because one of the Dwemer ruins had a Key Required door, and a Master Level chest next to it. I quicksaved, but constantly kept failing to open it and using up all my lockpicks. Turned out the key wasn't in the chest at all. Have still got the mod installed though, as losing out on loot just because I play a mage - thanks, Bethsoft, for removing the unlock spell - does not fly with me.

 

[Trig0n]

Nope. I play on console so I can't anyways.

 

[Saggingcow]

I like to create tournaments, I spawn NPC's and have them battle to the death. FIGHT MY MINIONS! FIGHT!

 

[saviorindeath]

Sadlly I play on the 360...I would if I could > > dam glitch quest*grumble*

 

[synobal]

Used it to fix bugs and occasionally resurrect my overzealous horse.

 

[EHKOS]

Well, if there's a glitch I'll use the console commands to fix it. My favorite command is tcl.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

I'm on ps3 so I can't use commands, though I did find a way to skip the Forelhost dungeon near Riften so I could get the Storm Call shout at the end. Bassically you can jump up the archway over the door and then whirlwind sprint across to reach it.

I still went and did the dungeon though when I found out there was a dragon priest mask inside.

 

[geK0]

I play on PS3, so I can't cheat perse but......

- Training, then pickpocketing all the money I spent.
- Sinking all my effort into blacksmithing until I have Orcish armor by level 7 and ebony by level 12
- Stealing everything in sight until I have "a large stake in the entire universe"
- Using sneak enchants on all the gear the game allows
- Abusing 15* dagger damage

All feel like cheating.

Quick travel also seems to take a lot out of the game, but after walking across the country 20 times it's just a drag = \

 

[Inithra]

Actually, I tried to summon Derkeethus, because he got stuck down a freaking hole in the cave you are supposed to rescue him from, and will NOT follow me out, he just walks up the spiral staircase, gets 3 steps from the top and bugs out. But it won't let me placeatme either!

 

[mooncalf]

Does spamming iron daggers at the forge count?
I have a history with ES games, if it's a cheat I wont use it, but if it's an exploit I totally will. In Morrowind it was Spellmaking Bound Boots for 0 sec on self, pre-patch that permanently added 20 to run speed. In Oblivion it was Paint Brushes that when dropped hung in midair and could be stood on to make steps to otherwise inaccessible places.

 

[Handbag1992]

I'm holding off on using console commands until I've gotten most if not all of the acheivments, even then I probably won't use them to alter the game significantly. Just to resurrect my companions or divorce my husband.

 

[Adellebella]

No because I play Skyrim on the Xbox but I would if I could. Mostly just to fix various bugs, like the bug that won't let me re-marry.

I don't think that's a bug. =x

I try desperately to not use "the squiggle" as I refer to it (~).

I've not changed my stats/God Mode'd it. But I HAVE player.additem F "5000".

I'M SORRY, OKAY? D:

It was just once a few times! My second character's a mage and it just gets so expensive sometimes..

What does that command do?

I think it gives 5000 gold.

Correct! "F" is the money-cheat.

Now you know. Try not to use it.

 

[darksuccubus]

Yes and like the OP I use them when I don't want to spend an hour just to get to a town so I could drop off all this loot.

 

[Robert Ewing]

I have, but it was in order to overcome some bugs, so I don't think it really counts.
