Well, since you asked...
I would probably fall into the powergamer category in your eyes. I like to make my character strong, and I don't mind using Shadowkeeper. I don't max all my stats, but my prime requisite(s) sure get up there (I am a half-god, by the way). I like strong weapons and armor, but if I gave myself all the best, why would I bother looking for any other? And if I wouldn't have dualed Imoen at level 7 and distributed her thieving skills that way in BGI, why should I suffer the designers role-playing over my own? Like the others have mentioned, CRPGs offer little in the way of complex interaction like the "P&P" style games, so I get my kicks where I can. My characters act their alignments, use appropriate weapons, and advance just as I would roleplay. Otherwise, I love cheating!
