Yes - I removed 2 skill points from 1h and put them into Speech. That is all.

The only other time I used console was to reset Lydia so she had better stats as I had leveled up so many times and she was becoming a liability. Going to have to reset her again soon I think.

I have not cheated. Still working on my first play through of the game, and dont want to "rhuin" the experience.

Once I have had my fill of side quests and completed the main story line (ie a playthrough) I will probably make a character to mess around with to do funny things. (like burying a down in cheese wheels or cabbage)

Married Aela, but she vanished after the ceremony
(I seem to have that effect on women ;P )

Tried using the console to insert her in the game again
Ended up with 3 of em, for some reason :S )

After three days (in game) the REAL Aela reappeared in Yorrvaskr
Went on honeymoon without me, so it seems...

Only had to fix a bug once. I've considered looking up the alchemy effect for ingredients because mixing aimlessly is FUCKING FRUSTRATING, but I've refrained from cheating thus far and I plan to keep it that way.

- Using sneak enchants on all the gear the game allows
Could you please tell me how you do this!? I've tried disenchanting my dark brotherhood armor, but the game won't let me.

OT: I'm on the 360 but i've used the free house glitch, the smithing glitch (9000 damage sword ftw), and the iron dagger smithing tactic (not a glitch, but very cheap)

On console, so no cheats for me. The only thing I would do if I could would be to resurrect some chick in Whiterun (Ysolda or something). She ceased to exist one day, and apparently that means I can't do the "Night to Remember" quest, ever. So no "Oblivion Walker" achievement, grrrr.

I got a ring of sneaking from one of the shops and disenchanted it. It was the one in Riften I believe, but the shop inventories are random aren't they?

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.
There were inaccesible places in oblivion? I just jumped everywhere I needed to go!

yep. gave myself some gold, turned on god mode once or twice when the game went from it's typical cake walk to ludicrous speed difficulty and i think that is it.

on a side note, this "new patch" needs to be fixed. since it's inception i have successfully killed all of two dragons. the rest fly around in these ridiculous patterns and NEVER FUCKING LAND then glitch and start flying backwards or simply hover at some random distance that is too far to shoot -- when i approach their hover position, they start flying around again. and maybe your aim is better than mine, but i cannot do enough damage in a reasonable amount of time to bother firing arrows at these annoying beasts.

HEY BETHESDA -- FIX THIS SHIT!

on a second side note: finally killed Krosis yesterday. or should i say my horse did. fast travelled to Krosis' location, he leapt out of his coffin and i ran behind some rocks. my horse barrels into the clearing and starts beating on Krosis who starts backing away and not attacking my horse. It was like he was stunned by the notion that some upstart horse would dare attack him. It allowed me to walk up and simply beat on Krosis until he died. never attacked me once. that mask is full of win.

The only cheating ive done it massively upping my Carry Weight. I love the game overall, but i cant be bothered with 'Inventory Management'. I did get a bug though to do with that. I collected a LOT of items, and once the weight was up in the high 7000's, whenever i looted a bandit i killed, it crashed to desktop. Doing a couple of City Fast-Travel circuits selling everything fixed that. I guess even with cheats, theres a Max carrying limit.

I have not cheated really, but I have used console commands. My poor Shadowmere vanished, so I had to spawn a new one. Damnable glitches.
I don't like to cheat in games. I do however use my PC advantage to fix certain issues with bugged quests, items or points randomly lost etc.

Gives me a bit of feeling of accomplishment whenever I manage something on my own, even if it's just in a game.

I was very close to resurrect the normal horse, which clearly has no ability to feel fear (or common sense for that matter). But I am an avid user of quicksave keys, so the nearest save is not that far away, at most a couple of min.

You can devour the ingredients to check out the effects. Even with no talent in it you can still gain the first effect from it.

~ FOV 80

Is the only command I feel the need to use. I prefer to play games as the developer built them.
Doom 3 I think is the last time I used a "God Mode" or No Clip.

Not intentionally... just once, after competing "The White Phial"(part 1) I was mostly skipping the thanks of the assistant, but then I got out and in again while the objective arrow was above his head, and he ended up giving me the reward (500 gold) twice...

I got stuck once, and had to use the TLC command.

Also my game crashed right after a ridiculously long boss-fight against a dragon AND a dragon priest, upon which I just used a kill command when I reloaded it.

No, I haven't.
Also, does using the console for buggy quests disable the achievements?
I believe achievements are only disabled until you restart the game, at least that's how it worked in FNV.

I haven't used console commands aside from tcl when I can't find a path up a mountain or I get stuck in some rocks. For the most part cheating ruins the game for me.
Restart the game as in starting a new character?
Also, do you lose your previously gained achievements?
Sorry, I mean quit the game and then launch it again. You won't lose achievements you've already gained.

I'm not entirely sure if this is how it works BTW, just guessing based on previous Bethesda games.

Playing on the Xbox 360 and have yet to encounter any major buggs apart from sometimes a tiny bit of water missing. So no need for cheats.

I've used noclip a couple of times for random exploring outside of zones but always loaded afterwards so I guess the only cheat I've used is having companions train me and then take my gold back from their inventory/pickpocket my gold back from non-companion trainers.
