By JOHB, PAUB , georb AND RIGO
This simple cheese will make playing annoying characters, such as Jacob and Esau, the Lost, Tainted Lazarus, &c. much easier while permitting achievements to still be gained.

The method.
1. Find the options.ini file. On Windows, this is usually in C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance. Overwrite the value of EnableDebugConsole to 1. Save and close the file, then launch the game.

2. Begin a run as any character, then open the console. Usually this is done with the grave (`) or tilde (~) key.

3. Type
giveitem Eden's Blessing
and execute the code. Repeat this at will up to ten times; any more than that will have no effect.

4. Exit the run, and begin a new run with the desired character. By the effect of Eden's Blessing, you will start the run with up to ten random items. Furthermore, so long as the console is not used again, the run will be considered legitimate by the game and will be eligible for achievements.

"Cheesing typically refers to the gaming strategy of using cheap, low-skill tactics or game exploits to secure a win." ~USDictionary.com

I know it's semantics, but that's the only real value I can add to the conversation.
To repeat the others, using console commands doesn't disable achievements.
Congratulations! You've now defeated the reason to play the game.

how's that any fun? I guess that's how the Dead God achievement is such a high percentage :reonion::reonion::reonion:

You could also just play as the character and type "debug 3" to never die, using the console doesn't make the run illegible for achievements

At this point just cheat whatever items you want specifically. Having console enabled also won't affect your getting achievments in any way
