I almost beat the game, but i'd like to start over with cheat codes. Every site i go on says "just start the game with -Console 1 paramater" or some crap, what's that mean? I'm lost. Can someone hold my hand and guide me step by step on how to start with cheat code mode, or at least make it a little clearer, because "just start the game with -console 1 line paramater" isn't telling me anything. Thanks.

Make a Shortcut to the executable on your desktop (navigate to the vampire folder, right click the icon and 'send to..desktop (as shortcut)' Right click the shortcut and go to properties. In 'target' it will have the location of the file. to the end of it (outside the speech marks) add '-Console 1' (no apostrophies). It will now look like ["C:\...\Vampire.." -console 1] without square brackets.

A hint, don't use the codes in the tutorial, it will mess things up.

Just adding a "-console" switch to the shortcut works.

Using codes in the tutorial doesn't seem to ruin my game. I only use the giftxp and a few of the weapons though, I don't use the max stats -- and besides, gifting achieves the same result anyway, while going through the legit stat up process.
