Icewind Dale Easter Egg - Jeff K. Of Somethingawful.com Makes a Cameo

To explain this funny but obscure joke: Jeff K. is sort of an Internet cult-celebrity, who 'contributes' lots of material to the site www.somethingawful.com. (He doesn't actually exist, he's just the main author's creation and is a parody on many Internet users who always type using that annoying 'l33t sp33k'.) He did a hilarious interview with the programmers of, as he calls it, 'Windy Dale', and warned them that if they didn't include him in the game as a powerful cyclops, then the game was doomed to fail. (The URL of the interview is http://www.somethingawful.com/jeffk/scottintarview/index.htm .)

Anyway, they obeyed him. Here's how to meet this l33t cyclops (he's actually a useful ally/powerful enemy, not just a joke):

1. Before starting Icewind Dale, open up the 'icewind.ini' file in the game's main directory, using Notepad.

2. Under the [Game Options] section, include a new line that reads 'Cheats=1'. Do not include the quotes.

3. Save/exit Notepad, start the game.

4. During the game, hit Ctrl-Tab to open the 'console'.

5. Type one of the following two commands and press Enter to activate it:

CheatersDoProsper:JeffKAttacks()

That will summon Jeff K., and he will attack you. He's worth a fair amount of experience but is quite powerful.

CheatersDoProsper:JeffKDefends()

This summons him, and he will ally himself with you and take out enemies. This easily balances most battles in your favor instantly.
