I was just wondering if there will be cheat codes in this game? Many of the big sandbox games I have played I had most fun with when I did something ridiculous with cheat codes. Maybe make an option when starting a new game.

Cheats allowed me to play around in X3 and just test stuff out. So +1 for an option to turn on cheats.

On the one hand, I see this thread and I facepalm, going "Noooooo...." and then I see the comment about crazy things on X3 done with scripts... and I am forced to agree that yes, this would be neat. However, I am still not sure it should be implemented.

Well, it's a singleplayer sandbox game. I see no harm in including cheats.

The modern version of that is known as the "console". (I won't get into the yet more modern version that involves pay-to-win DLCs). I'm sure some form of that already exists.

Gah I hate that, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and such... And now Deadspace 3 has pay to win for singleplayer mode. W.T.F. Off topic I know, but it is insanity.

Not really fussed about cheats myself though, one way or the other.

I still love Freelancer's version of a "God mode" cheat, where in the INI file there was a Difficulty variable you could turn from 1.0 to 0 which corresponded to how much damage you took from each attack. It worked wonderfully. I set it to 0.2 so I could enjoy the game while still worrying about damage, even if a little.

I'm no pilot, but I do enjoy the game's physics and immersion, and I fully intend to enjoy Limit Theory even though the pilot of my ship is a young dark-skinned feline.

I too would like cheat codes or integrated sandbox options

What we now all want is a cheat code to enable "The Archangel"

Seriously though - I don't mind there being cheat codes in the game but if there are I don't want to know about them. I find using cheats the quickest way to kill my interest in a game.

A separate mode where you can do anything you want, you have unlimited ammo, unlimited energy, you can switch weapons on the fly, you have cheat weapons. This is basically a mode where you can play around kinda like minecraft's creative mode. What do you think?

Cheat codes?

No like the creative mode from minecraft

Honestly I'm kind of against cheat codes, then again if I don't want to use them I don't have to. The only thing I see wrong with cheat codes really, is that if anyone ever wanted to say, share their achievements in the game on the forums or anything of that manner (With screenshots of course, because well... "Pic's or it didn't happen!"), I could see some epic achievements that took lots of work and hours of play being dismissed by people as "Oh they just used cheat codes didn't they? There's no way someone could do that"

Oh it could be named Unlimited Theory Mode (Shut up it's a good name)

I'm not sure what kind of creative mode there could be... If you have cheats that give you money, invulnerability and tech unlocks you basically have access to everything in the game.
Not sure what a "creative mode" would add to the game itself in terms of special gameplay.
