The point of the game is to ENJOY it. If you want to cheat by doing so then by all means do so! After all you spend the money, so do what gives you the most value for it. If you decide you want to turbocharge your car, that could be construed as cheating but you're not a professional racer so who cares?
I'm not trying to flame you at all so don't take this the wrong way, but I get irritated when I read statements like the above which imply that game cheaters/hackers are a lower life form because they cheat. If you cheat in real life and someone is disadvantaged as a result (ie in a test, in business, in sport) then that is obviously a negative thing if you have high ethical standards in your life.
But in leisure activity such as BG2, the only one being affected is you. Do you think the developers care if you cheat? Who's losing out if you cheat? NOBODY. (If you play online MP then that's a different story.)
To answer your question Halfknight It's all about YOU and what YOU want. If you want to play the game like a demigod because it gives you a kick, then by all means do so. If not then don't.
