PrefOptions.ini <== Way to increase difficulty

Many know of this cheat that can make you imortal in Single Player.. But have you ever INCREASED the difficulty? Right now I have it on 1.5 and it is quite a bit harder.


EDIT: New title, bad traffic.

Nah!... making a game harder isn't a spoiler. I didn't try this yet.. How exactly does the game get harder? Are there more hostile NPC's? Does it just take longer to take down their shields etc or do you get less money for jobs? (Or all off the above?)

Okay, I think that if you Increase this number a couple of things happen:

1.) Your Worth Decreases A LOT quicker. I lost 2 million worth going from Manhatten to Leeds. (I took a couple of deturs though, killed some rouges, hackers etc.

2.) Enemies concentrate more on deffence more than offence... They are more careful.

Other than that, I haven't noticed much difference.



1.Why do you people in the UK spell the 7th month 'Juli'.
We in the USA spell it 'July'.

2.Why do you drive on the LEFT side of the road when almost every one else drives on the right?

You lost two million worth of WHAT? What are you talking about? Are you leaking money?

And just so you know, they drive on the left because it is an old society. They used to carry swords and you always want to keep an oncoming opponent on your strong side.

2million of WORTH... You know, the amount of money you are WORTH. It is under the player stats button.


But what if you were left handded?

I changed the thing to 5 and nothin happened !

Once upon a time when there were kings, queens, knigts, squires and virgins all left-handed people were considered to be possesed by the devil. The reason for this is that people needed an outlet for their fustrations. So if not Jews then left-handed people.

We spell it July because we're rebles and needed to add a six vowel to our alphabet because we've got an inferiority complex.

Have tried it (see other posts regarding), and it increases the damage done by NPC's. (though not piloting skills)

difficulty = 1.00 (equals 100% damage)
difficulty = 0.00 (equals 0% damage)
difficulty = 0.50 (equals 50% damage)

thus;
difficulty = 1.50 (equals 150% damage)


Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

DIAMONDBACK + WILDFIRE + 2 CANNONBALL MISSILES = 1 dead mother****er...
