[Quiet Man Cometh]

I did cheat on some games but I've put a stop to that because I just find that I enjoy the game less, and also find that I tend to be a poor player as well since the cheats make things easy. I nearly finished the old Warcraft 2 when I was 12 or so, got to the second to last scenario. Alas, I started playing around with the cheats too much and stopped putting much strategy into the game. I wasn't as good a player after that.

I use game guides for some things, like looking up how to kill bosses because I can't be bothered with them, or to find out why something appears to not be working right (found the odd snag in some games that way) but on the whole I try to avoid it now.

The most I've done on Skyrim is turn the difficultly down one step for one fight that was incredibly frustrating, after looking it up online and not finding any suitable tips or helps except more comments on how annoying the fight was.
