Fast travel from anywhere, craft items, be Ciri, turn on god mode, and more!
"Evil is evil," says Geralt during one of the many lectures on ethics 101. "Less, more, average. It's all the same." So we can conclude that he probably won't think too much about us using all those The Witcher 3 cheats and console commands to take on the god-like powers of creation and destruction - but hey, if he starts complaining , we can just turn him into Ciri, who I'm sure is a lot less picky about things like that.
