Enabling Cheats
The Z.cfg file in the game folder for "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" must be edited before the player can use cheat codes in the game. This file can be opened with any text editor, such as Notepad. At the very end of the file, add "cheatmode 1" without the quotation marks. Save the file and start the game normally. The cheat codes for the game will now be active.
Gold
Gold is the unit of currency used in the game. You can give your character an extra 5,000 gold by pressing "Ctrl" + "F9." One thing to remember before using this code is that gold has a weight, so using this code can encumber you quite easily. You may want to wait until you are in a bank before using the code. You can then leave your extra gold at the bank and avoid encumbering your character.
Faster Walking Speed
Pressing "1" will cause your character to walk faster. This is useful since it saves some tedium for when you have to walk a long distance over an area with no enemies or places of interest. It is also useful because it makes running from enemies much easier.
Raise Skills
Skills in "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" determine how effective your character is at any action. This includes obvious ones, like weapon or magic skills causing you to become more powerful in combat--but even basic actions like your movement speed or how far you can jump are determined by skills. One of the most useful cheats in the game raises all of your skills by 1 percent each time it is used. The code to raise your skills is "+."
Raise Reputation
Your reputation in the game is a measure of how much each faction likes or dislikes your characters. It is possible to join some factions if you have a high enough reputation. In addition, some items and quests are only available if you have a high enough reputation. It is possible to cheat and raise your reputation with every faction by pressing "-."
Invincibility
One of the cheat codes in "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" will render your character invincible to direct damage. It will not prevent drowning or diseases from indirectly killing the character. Pressing "Ctrl" + "F4" will turn on invincibility mode. Pressing it again will cause invincibility mode to turn off.
