General question regarding changing a game file (no spoilers) - luther's caption - 09-09-2011
Is changing a certain variable considered cheating? I read some stuff on a review of Overture and would like to change something.
The Overture mod page is missing in action so I'm posting this in here.

Considered cheating by who?

It's single player, you can cheat if you want without repercussions. It could spoil the atmosphere of the game, depending on what it is, but it's your call in the end.

Ok thanks everyone (I meant considered cheating by other Overture players in general).
It's nothing like unlimited health or something, just a frustrating feature of the game that could be turned off through changing a game file variable.

You're being so vague! Just tell us what feature you're tweaking, to satisfy our curiosity.

That seems like a preference and not cheating at all to me. You should definitely toggle that if you prefer it and not worry about a thing.
