Mass Effect Cheats
Did you manage to grab Mass Effect yet? To my eternal shame, I haven't. Even worse, although I am crazy about games involving Bioware, I also missed Neverwinter Nights 2. Oh, well, you can't always get what you want, so let's stick to what we need. If you are already playing this great game, there are some chances you're looking for cheats, so I thought it would be a good idea to give you a hand...
First of all, a disclaimer - I am not going to be held responsible if using one of these cheats is going to ruin your game experience, your social life, or you'll end up being abducted by aliens, once you put them in place! If you ask me, a game that can't be finished without cheats makes me think about a game that is not worth playing, or maybe you need more practice...
Now - be sure to keep a backup of your game files, because these cheats involve editing of the game files. Ready or not, here we go...
1. Navigate to the game folder, then open the "config" folder.
2. Send "BIOInput" to your favorite text editor, go to the line called "Engine.Console," and right below it make a new line which says: "ConsoleKey=Tilde"(no quotation marks in the file).
3. Save the BIOInput file and close your text editor.
4. Open the game, hit ~, and then enter one of the following:
fly - Supermaaaaaaaaaaan!
giveall - get all gear in the game, save armor
giveallarmor - get all armor
giveallbioamps - get all bio amps
giveallomnitools - gives you all omni tools
givetalentpoints X - get "X" talent points, where "X" is an integer value
givexp X - receive "X" experience points, as above
ghost - walk through walls
setparagon X - get "X" Paragon points
setrenegade X - get "X" Renegade points
walk - no more Superman mode...I mean, enough flying, start walking!
While I hate "give all" and "god mode" cheats, flying and going through walls are things you should try! Just be sure to store the config file in a safe place...

Can I correct a mistake (that seems to be all over the web as this information gets copied and copied!):
DO NOT navigate to the game folder!
There is no BioInput in \Binaries\Config\ There is a BaseInput but no BioInput.
You have to go to My Docs\Bioware\Mass Effect\Config\ where BioInput actually is!

Sure, I am glad you pointed out the mistake! As I was saying, this game is still on my (very long) "to play" list, so I had no chance to try any of the above yet.
Thank you very much for your message, and please do this every time you find a mistake. After all, each mistake we admit is one step forward!
