   For those who can't get it to work, you have to edit the same line in an .ini file in the install folder. If you got the game on Steam, then it's:
   SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > XCOM 2 > XComGame > Config
   The file you're looking for is named DefaultGameData.ini
   
   Once you've edited both files, you should be able to edit your characters from the start.

      What do you mean by edit the files? Do you rename them to something else?

      Not the name of the file ... the CONTENTS .... You open the file in a simple text editor(notepad not M$ word) find the line that matches what needs to be changed, and change it, then save the file.
      
      How could you POSSIBLY have made it so far as to be able to use a web browser, yet lack the reading comprehension to figure this out?

   I've edites both files for the base game since I own my copy on Steam and this does not work for me unfortunately. Maybe launch WoTC so I get the files for that and edit those too maybe?

   I can't find this in my game folders. Both in my main and default ini files. Really wanted to see this mode work. Any Ideas on what I am doing wrong?

   Sadly it doesn't work..
   
   EDIT: Well it does work if you ALSO edit the .ini in the original game folder, not only in the mygames\xcom2 folder.

   I've been searching the XcomGameData but I couldn't find it. Where is it? The on ly thing I see are " Default" files.

      It's on ...Documents\my games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config
      If you can't find it, that means you need to run the game once
