I'm curious about people's different playing styles. I see really varied answers on how to deal with encounters in here and I have been wondering how people play BG. I don't think one way is any better than the other. I am just interested in finding out how people play.

My question is this:
Are you a roleplayer or a powergamer?

I see powergamers having some of the following qualities:
-uses AI weakness to win battles
-buffs up party before certain battles the characters would not have any pre-knowledge of (e.g. the Nashkel Cemetary battle where a powergamer would use protection from fire spells before initiating the fight)
-goes around and does every quest, regardless if it makes sense for the character
-tries to do whatever is possible to level up as much as possible
-constant reloads in order to get the max HP on level-ups

and roleplayers having some of these qualities:
-write biography for player character and any other created characters
-fight battles as they come without taking unfair advantage of player game knowledge
-only does quests that make sense for the character
-does not take advantage of the AI weaknesses to win battles
-accepting bad level-ups

Anyway, these are both short lists, but you get the point. How would you describe your playing style?
