Let's see.....I'm a roleplayer who sometimes powergames. I do write bios where appropriate, and only recruit NPCs that fit well with my PC's alignment/background....I just choose the best NPCs that fit well. I try to do every quest, no matter what my alignment is; Good characters say "There's Evil to be fought everywhere," and Evil characters say "How much will you give me if I do this?"

Taking advantage of the AI is pure cheese--I won't do it, unless the enemies involved are supposed to be really stupid anyway, like Golems. I try not to cast buffing spells before a fight unless my characters know (or have a pretty good idea) a fight is coming up. I'll reload for hitpoints if it's less than 1/2 what they could have gotten, or less than 2/3 if it's a Mage or my Tank. I will do things like attack a Mage, let him cast protection spells on himself, then run away until the protections wear off, but only if I have my own Mage who can say, "Okay, that particular spell should have worn off by now," or a Thief who can Stealth up and see if the enemy Mage is still invulnerable.
