lol, yea, funny conversation… I never save scum either. Didn't realize so many gamers are so OCD, lol. That said, I will cheat, without shame…its my game, after all, so I just consider it my choice and preference. I'm not talking about Numenera here, by the way, (have yet to really play it in depth) but just rpgs in general. Like Dragon Age Origins. I hated how skimpy they were with money in that game, so I gladly cheated in all the money I needed to buy anything in the game. Same thing with Fallout 3, which I have recently been playing…the design of the game is way too cheap with money, in my opinion, at least in the beginning to mid stages. So I put in some mod cheats, so money is not an issue.
That is one of the main areas I will usually cheat because too often, I feel these games are way too chintzy in money, and I don't want to feel like I'm lacking in resources in these games, hell, I can feel like that already in real life! lol. So I will usually cheat in money, and become fabulously wealthy in the game world overnight in these rpgs, its just more fun that way, to me anyhow.
(the other annoying area in many of these rpgs is weight, I feel it is stupid how in some of these games, they restrict the weight so much. So I will usually mod out most of the weight requirements out of these games, weight is not a fun mechanic to me - I'm too much of a pack rat, lol)
