The following content can be used to break the game / cheat your way to success, as is always the case with mods. I'd ask that you use this Guide responsibly and avoid using the Guide in this way, but of course I have no control over your actions and can only discourage you from doing so. With that in mind I will say that the game is very easy, having already completed it several times myself. So there generally isn't any need for excessive cheating, but as I said it's up to yourself. Excessive cheating will also lower the replay value by quite a bit, which is another thing to consider.

First, go to the games folder.

Mine is located at: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Vlad

Next, click on the xml folder and then the world1 folder. Then click on the Location of the Encounter you would like to change.

We're going to have a look at "Visit the Office of the Dock Master" so we'll need to open the port folder and right click the dockoffice file and select edit.

You can use Ctrl+F and search for "remove:stat:morality:1" or you can srcoll all the way to the bottom.

Close to the bottom you'll see the following:

<loccondition condition="remove:stat:morality:1"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:dexterity:1"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:magic:1"/>
<loccondition condition="statscomplete"/>

As you might have gussed, add gives you stats, while remove takes them away and morality effects the karma meter with add being good and remove being evil.

The full list of add stats is as follows:

<loccondition condition="add:stat:morality:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:charm:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:agility:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:constitution:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:dexterity:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:intelligence:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:magic:25"/>
<loccondition condition="add:stat:strength:25"/>
<loccondition condition="statscomplete"/>

Using the above would give that Encounters second option 25+ to all your stats.

Where as if you added remove to them as follows:

<loccondition condition="remove:stat:morality:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:charm:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:agility:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:constitution:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:dexterity:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:intelligence:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:magic:5"/>
<loccondition condition="remove:stat:strength:5"/>
<loccondition condition="removestatscomplete"/>

Using the above would give that Encounters second option -5 to all your stats.

Using this Knowledge you can re-tailor Encounters to give whatever consequences or rewards you like, making the game more harder and unforgiving than ever before or lax it up a little and make things a little easier for yourself.
