You are quite funny, aren't you . But the question is still open and is still discussed in this forum.

Sure you did. You said it doesn't matter because "grey areas" exist and to each his own.
I will still give the same answer. I was questioning which actions was cheating and which actions was not cheating, not if it is wrong to cheat or not. I even wrote the following lines in my post to back this up:


On the other hand: If you start using cheat codes and editors from day 1, I do not think that BG1 will last very long, before it gets boring. I would feel sorry for you, but it is your decision, what you do on your own PC.


Feeling sorry for someone is not the same as to condemn someone by saying that their actions are 'wrong'.

Yes - but it is still YOUR definition. We all got our own definition of what is cheating and what is not in this game. It is the main reason why this topic is still discussed years after the release.

What I am talking about here is the gray zone of cheats in this game. On the other hand there are some actions where most of the players agree:

Most players agree that it is cheating to use an editor and use CLUA codes.
Most players agree that it is NOT cheating to use fireballs all the time and make heavy use of missile weapons.

But is it cheating to sell and buy wands to an NPC to recharge it? Is this a bug in the game or is it something implemented by purpose by the programmers? Some says it is a bug some says it is not. Some uses it all the time, others do not use it because they think it is cheating. My conclusion: Do what you think is best for YOU, but be careful not to spoil the game for your own sake.

I normally hate to go into arguments like this, but something in your post worked like a red rag to a bull on me.
