Open your stats screen (where strength, dexterity, mana, etc is displayed).
Type marvin (you won't see the text).
Exit the screen.
The words Marvin-Mode will appear in the top left hand corner of the screen. When this shows up you know you've done it right.
Hit F2 (a console will open up).
Type in whatever cheat you wanted to use.

Yep. Val is on the spot

But here's a little info. fer ya. if you use the letter keys (like WSAD) to control movement (which is unavoidable, so I know you do) they still move your character when the console is open... so be careful when you're typing your cheats you're not standing near a cliff ledge or water or something.

But what the hey... if you die just hit F8 and you're back alive!

still having a problem
   

hey I sill can't figure this out. Every time I hit the S button and bring up my stats screen it has me in the pause mode and I cant scroll or use my mouse button. How do I move or scroll so I can type marvin in there.
This has me puzzled. Help me Im going nuts. Thanks

You do not scroll or use your mouse. Just type on the keyboard. You will not see what you type. With the final 's' of 'smarvins' the stats screen will vanish and 'MARVIN MODE' should be written on the upper left side of your screen instead.

Pal, you should really enhance your reading skills. This is not what Jaz wrote.

Why donīt you just do what 100.000 people before you did successfully:
In normal game screen type either <i>smarvins</i> or <i>bmarvinb</i> and stop thinking about it.
S or B in the italics above toggles the character screen. Marvin has to be typed blind.

I thought Val's first try was pretty much on the spot. The extra ssmarvins plus plus got a little confusing for poor jimmiedeana. Heck... it almost confoosed me too.

Last resort... edit your launch icon!!!

OK, the easiest way to explain... press 'B' on your keyboard, now when you are in the stats screen type in 'marvin', now press 'B' again, now you are out of the Stats Screen and in the top-left corner it will say Marvin Mode!!!
