I agree with Nerull and Dadams on their sentiments, but not their actions. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I have both the CLUA console activated and Shadowkeeper, but not to fix what's "wrong" with the NPCs or silly mistakes. I use it for roleplaying reasons, mostly little things that the game won't let me do without them.

For example, I'm creating a character named Choth Duardanaar for an upcoming BG2 fanfic. Choth is a winged Avariel male who aids, assists, and eventually courts Aerie. To me, Avariel are light so they can fly. Winged elves, doncha know. So I used SK to knock Choth's strength down to 5. To balance this, I gave him 20 charisma; I see him as a pretty witty guy so his fellow party members won't kill him for having only 5 STR! Also, in my mind, Choth is a bardic thief who prefers concealable weapons. There is no way for a bard to have other thief proficiencies unless they are added through SK. I added the thief class to make a sort of bard/thief combo, but took out all of the bardic spellcasting abilities just to be fair. I also gave him two points in daggers instead of just one, since it will be quite a while before Choth gets good weapons.

The point is, the power corrupts only if you do not balance, young Padwan learner.
