Memory hack is a dirty work around.
Not really. If you want to cheat you have to put a bit of effort in.
I've been cheating in the original EE so I start off with 15 blood stones for each character.
I can win then (with Divine level 20 armor when I'm on level 2) but it is a bit boring.
What is interesting is some things you can change just with notepad (like what you start with), some things you have to unpack the proprietary zip.
DOS 2 seems to work more or less the same as EE - you could check out the Mod section there for some tips.
