No doubt about it, I am an unrepentant cheater. Being an RPG neophyte, I use the ExploreArea cheat. That's it. I got pretty darned tired of bumping into things (particularly those of the deadly variety) early in BGI when I had low HPs. It was not a lot of fun having to reload/restart all the time.

Same with BGII. Also there seems to be a loooong delay before traps are identified. This is more than a minor annoyance in Irenicus' dungeon during the prologue since I never bothered to have Imoen waste a spell slot on detect traps (she was a damned fine little thief for me in BGI, why oh WHY did they dual class her???).

I have used a keeper once to recreate my BGI character after a nasty situation in which I managed to lose all the game files. I had a pretty good fighter (18/98; 18; 18; 15; 14; 12) that took me a TON o' rolls to create. Seeing how easy it would be to create a cross between Stephen Hawking and the Incredible Hulk was interesting but I figured what's the point? It would be zero fun if you knew, regardless of story line, that you'd be the last one standing...
