What do these people think they gain?

Whats the point?

Do they really just want to ruin stuff for everyone?

Oh, I absolutely cheat in single-player games. If you add hunger to what I consider a nonsurvival game, I'm gonna cheat to get infinite food, or if you add a weight system inventory, I'm gonna give myself more carry weight. ~player.modav carryweight 1000 ~player.setav carryweight 1000

I'm a pack rat, and I refuse to pretend I'm not. If there is something I can pick up or steal I'm going to do it and yes it will sit in my inventory and make it harder for me to find the stuff I need and I still won't get rid of it.
