Cheats and hints for one of the best RPGs in recent years.

Open the Baldur.ini file with notepad, look for a heading 
called [Program Options]. Under this heading type: 
Debug Mode=1, then save and exit. Start your game of 
BG2 as normal and in game press Control+Space to 
activate the console. 

Console Cheats (Must be entered exactly as shown): 

XP For Your Group:

CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP("XP amount here") press enter 
to activate. Note the XP Cap in BG2 is 2,950,000--do not 
use commas in the XP amount. 

Gold:

CLUAConsole:AddGold("Amount of gold here") press enter to 
activate. Note, as in the XP amount-DO NOT USE COMMAS! 

NOTE: You can give XP to a single or all party members. 
Click once on the character you wish to give xp to and 
then enter the XP cheat while their portrait is highlighted. 
To give all party members XP click the little square box in 
the lower right of you display and you will see all your 
characters portraits highlighted. Open the console and 
enter the code. 

Max Stats:

When generating a character and if you have debug mode=1 
or cheats=1 and you press CTRL+SHFT+8 it will max your 
stats. If you decrease some stats before doing this you 
can take some up to 19 for races that allow 19 (like elf 
dexterity).

Create Items:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("item code here",quantity here) 
then press enter. No commas in the quantity #. 

Here is an example using the identify scroll code. 

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("scrl75",100) 

This will place 100 Identify scrolls in your lead 
characters pack. Note that any magical items you 
create need to be identified before you get the benefits 
of using them.

Reveal Map:

Reveals the entire map. 

Heal Party:

When you have Debug Mode=1 in your baldur.ini file, you 
may use [CTRL] + T to heal the entire party and remove 
harmful spell effects. 

Instant Kill:

When you have Debug Mode=1 in your baldur.ini file, you 
may use [CTRL] + Y to kill the person or monster the 
cursor is on. 

Other Cheats:

When you have Debug Mode=1 in your baldur.ini file, you 
may use [CTRL] + 1 to change armor class of selected 
character. [CTRL] + 6 and [CTRL] + 7 to change the model 
of the selected char (prev and next, respectively).

Heal and Jump:

With Debug Mode enabled, press Ctrl + R to heal a 
character, and Ctrl + J to jump to the mouse cursor 
location.

Hints:

Click the TCP/IP option, even if offline, to create and 
play six of your own characters. (Note: you'll miss out 
on a lot of quests, but it's a great way to replay the game.) 

Be picky when choosing quests. Be true to your alignment 
and don't bite off more than you can chew, or your 
reputation will suffer. 

The game is 100 percent playable and quite different if 
you opt to play as an evil character. For example, 
instead of freeing the slaves, you are charged with 
putting down their uprising. 

Stock up on Restoration spells when facing undead. 
Being "level drained" is a horrible way to go. Failing 
that, if you have Raise Dead spells let a level-drained 
character die (unless it's your character); once raised 
he'll be back to a normal level.
