Quick question folks, but how does "cheat Engine" work, where can I get it from officially and how do I give myself 6's in everything?

Just edit your save, cheat engine is overkill for this game unless you want to add a speedhack. Someone must have written a guide at this point if you google around, but the save file is very logically laid out in plaintext, just up your base stats as desired

Is there any guide for doing that?

I've still got a save file that starts the game with 9's across the board. Let me know of a convenient free upload service, and I'll share it for anyone else who can't quite figure out cheat engine / how to edit save files in a way that will make the game recognize them.

(I could actually use a new game save file with 1's in everything except endurance and volition, for further experimentation purposes. Maybe 9's for the base stats by 1's for the skills)

some dude on steam forums posted:

You can edit the saves just fine in notepad.

C:\Users\[USER NAME HERE]\AppData\LocalLow\ZAUM Studio\Disco Elysium\SaveGames

Open the zip file, and open the biggest JSON file.

There's some HEAVY spoilers in there if you read too long, but your character sheet is near the top, and by code-standards all but written in plain-text.

You'll have to save the file elsewhere & copy over the new file for some reason. (Or at least I did.)

Currently playing a run with all stats at 6 base, and about 80+ something extra skill points, and nothing's broken yet, but I'm only at day 2 so far.

Quite probably - 996 is a fairly suspicious number.

Still - if you accept the full 130 bill, get money from either Kim or Joyce, then spend a few reals and get paid by the other party, you could start Day 2 with 125 or so real. Another 100 from the Mega-Rich guy. Jamais-Vu, Wompty-Dom... it just might be vaguely possible.

you have to change it in both places or the sanity checker will erase the changes when you load the game

If you're refering to the AppData folder, it's hidden by default. You'd need to change your file explorer settings (Windows).

Am I the only one that gets Book (or Game) Depression when I just finished a very good one? I can't enjoy anything similar for a while. I just tried a handful of new games and I can't enjoy them at all. It is winter though, so I guess it'll be book time until it passes.

My single point of morale shattered by a freckle faced reject getting the best of me, I gave up on the investigation, the police force and even my life because gently caress everything forever.

- Joyce will give you the money you need if you can pass a Volition check.
- Find and equip the Frittte! bag on the waterside near the bookstore. Then you can find discarded bottles everywhere and redeem them at the Frittte! store.
