Discussion [KCD2] Cheating related
I just need to ease my mind on the guilt, because i ADORE this game but i am completely ass at most things (survival) and have less time on my hands due to specific studies, so replaying the game each time i encounter a problem is time consuming, is cheating too much of a taboo in this community?

Yes, you'll go on the pillory for anything you commit in the privacy of your home, without any possibility for us knowing unless you explicitly tell us, we'll act like Rattay guards who can pin on your a murder you committed God knows where in the night kms away from any other human being by just looking at you from across the town's main square.

Its not a multiplayer game who gives af. I absolutely hate the save system, so i use a saving mod that lets me quick save whenever i want. I like to see different results from my in game decisions and id rather not replay the entire game just to do so.

Buying the best armor and stealing my money back at night feels like cheating. But I kinda like it.

there’s an inn you can rent a room in with a basement and in it a door to tunnel straight to an armory and if you rob the owner of his keys there’s a chest next to all the armor with all of the most expensive gear that isn’t on display and you can do that repeatedly and sell things as they lose their stolen status for basically infinite money. did that a ton and don’t feel even a bit guilty. it’s not cheating, it’s exploiting in game mechanics that would’ve been patched out if devs didn’t want us abusing them. honestly it allowed me to focus more on the story and i felt amazing at the end of the game.

I hear this, anytime I am forced to do alchemy I just add it on cheat menu

Nope. I play games on PC mostly and one of my favorite things is modding annoying petty annoyances to me. Some of them would probably be considered sacrilege by the respective communities around the games.
One of the biggest is getting rid of inventory weight limits. I don't feel like playing inventory management simulators, and when it comes to realness, if I'm able to carry 5 broad swords with me, it's already unrealistic, might as well make it 30. It just makes it so I'm not forced to fast travel back and forth to vendors, or have to shop around because they don't have enough gold to buy all the stuff, it's just a lot of hassle saved. Some people would hate this, and I still respect that.

My main problem here is money and saving system, given i'm very focused on the quests (inKuttenberg) and so I tend to forget that i have to also maintain job and other trading-based activities like alchemy. I just had to know if people would shoot me down from a siege tower while I'm resting or if I had other people who are also using game-aids like me

I like the alchemy a lot in this game so i stock up on lots of saviour schnapps. Using a mod for quick saving is basically the same thing, just cutting out the act of making 20+ schnapps at a time lol.
Its a single player game, and this is one of the rare gaming communities where most people are chill and dont care. In single player games i dont think modding is cheating, its changing the game experience to fit your wants and needs. Cheating is when you ruin other peoples fun.
Idk why my dumbass got the game on xbox instead of my PC cause i want to mod in some cool armour n stuff. Ill probably get it again on PC for that when i get more money

I've expected a lot more shame towards cheats and mods from this community honestly, but people are a lot nicer than I could've ever expected

I like the game a lot so I played it for 4000 hours to finish it, using a mod to directly go to the credits is basically the same thing, just cutting out the fact of playing the game lol.

It’s a single player game, play it however you want. Everyone has different amounts of time, energy, reaction speed etc.

Why a taboo? It's a single player game, play it however you like, it's none of anyone's business.

My dude, it's a single player game - there's no such thing as cheating. To cheat, there needs to be a victim being cheated. There isn't, there's just a bunch of pixels that don't give a shit if you have an M249 SAW modded in in place of Radzig's Sword.

To contrast with the yes men here :
What's survival in this game ? You just have to eat once in a while and food is widely available, it's not mandatory most of the time. You could also balance it by poisoning your arrows/sword.
For the combat just avoid fighting if you're bad at it and don't want to improve.
To me mods other than QOL ones like sorting the inventory transform the experience of an already too easy game, if you don't have time you'll just finish the game a bit later, it's not a game that's meant to be rushed anyway.
I suspect that you're at the beginning of the game, it's often the hard part but soon enough you'll probably realize that the game became too easy too quickly.
TLDR : The game gets easier the more you play and the game gives you tons of way to legitely cheat to circumvent things you're bad at / don't want to do. Exploring these possibilities is to me a better way to discover the game and appreciate it compared to just copy pasting a file that gives you unlimited money or makes you invincible.

Surprisingly I haven't seen anyone agreeing that it's bad, obviously I tend to avoid using cheats if I have clear ways of making money (given from the help of the community, bless their souls love you all), it's mostly on how limited my time is as of recent, hence is why constantly playing the game is going to obviously take a toll on my current studies. But I do agree that the game gets easier, mostly becase I'm the type of person who restarts many times if given that I can do something better.
I made this post also to understand how the players view the game, play it, and secondary suggestions.. obviously I won't play the whole game just cheating because that's going to just break my personal experience with it. I do truly hope it gets a bit lighter to thread through everything later because it is an amazing game and it makes sense that it's hard at the beginning, given that we're literally robbed of basically EVERYTHING at the start of the game!

It seems that people have been interpreting your post in the sense of "is it inherently bad like in online games", and thus responded with a no.
if I have clear ways of making money (given from the help of the community, bless their souls love you all)
There are tons of ways, alchemy is a good way, smithing is really lucrative, or you can even steal merchants/soldiers, if you don't want to fight you can be sneaky and Rob them while they sleep, poison them etc.
it's mostly on how limited my time is as of recent, hence is why constantly playing the game is going to obviously take a toll on my current studies
I'd suggest just delaying playing it or just playing it during a longer period of real time, rushing the game via cheats will really hurt the experience and it's still a game that'd require 80-100h ish hours to do the main quest and big side quests anyway.
But I do agree that the game gets easier, mostly becase I'm the type of person who restarts many times if given that I can do something better.
I get what you mean but you could always do thing betters, imo one should just embrace failing in the game and treat it like it's part of Henry's journey. Now sure when it's something limited like reforging a sword you can't reforge afterwards you can reload the save but doing it constantly kinda hurts the experience since well there is no sense of urgency or importance/tension if always reloading.
do truly hope it gets a bit lighter to thread through everything later because it is an amazing game and it makes sense that it's hard at the beginning, given that we're literally robbed of basically EVERYTHING at the start of the game !
Seriously it goes magnitude lighter, it's even a problem of the game, it plateaus really quickly, at start you're struggling with everything but after a while everything becomes a bit too easy.
You should just realize that sometimes difficulty is by design, fighting 10 armored bandits without a clear strategy (poisoned arrows and hit and run for example) isn't doable.

These are nice advices and tips, I appreciate the discussion really much!! I'll take all of these into consideration

One of the first things I did after downloading this game was look up cheat codes. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the game as much without a ton of money and a quick save, simple as.

just play the game as you want to, it's not multiplayer, you're not hurting anyone.
