What 'cheat console' do you refer to?
(and why would you need one?)

They're referring to the console in the PC version (the dev console which you can open with ~ and input commands into, useful for a lot of things like changing FOV). It's not so much a matter of needing it, it's a matter of it being accessible in the original and being useful for a bunch of things.

They took it out. Instead of having all the ini files we did now we only have 3 and its not the BIOInput.ini file to access the dev console. Good luck trying to customize your game play. If I wanted to play like the console people I would have bought it for the XBox or PlayStation since tha'ts pretty much what they limited PC Users too.

Exactly.
I don't use the console, because I have everything I use coded to a few keys for quick access.
I did "need" access to the Coalesced files for each game (which I now have), because there are specific changes I wanted to make. I've played through the trilogy now 20 or 30 times, and there's a specific version of the game that I enjoy best. It's not the vanilla game(s), but rather the modded interpretation that I want to play. For one example, I need to allow powers to work through shields, because that's the way biotics worked in the original book and original game. The subsequent changes in the games (ME2 / ME3) are retcons that I don't accept. I can't play that without editing the files. Thus, I "need" to be able to do so. Which I now have done. I'm having a blast. I couldn't have as much of a blast without the changes, some of which make parts of the game easier, some parts harder, but either way, altered to suit my interpretation.
Thus to emphasize one last time, I "need" to be able to make changes. I also need to be able to edit the PCC files for my complete optimum experience, but that will have to wait a bit longer.

How can you edit the coalesced ? for LeME1 and LeME2 ?
