What's the point in going on and completing the game if you need to cheat to do it? You're going to feel a real sense of achievement if you finish the game with illegal armour and a pair of kick-ass scimitars, aren't you? Well, each to their own, but no respect from me here.
What?? How does killing Drizzt for his items have ANYTHING to do with cheating? He is in the game just like any other monster carrying good items. Taran doesn't even necessarily have to be a powergamer to want to kill him for his items. As was said above, he could be chaotic neutral, or chaotic or neutral evil and still be roleplaying their character just fine. Why do you assume that everyone who ever plays BG plays a good aligned character?
