You can obviously play it anyway that you want.... BUT I just feel that you take away the challenge and a lot of the skill if you pump up your stats or give them weapons before you get them. It makes the game less interesting. I would much rather have my relatively weak archer and have pretty exciting, barely able to survive battles than just cruise through. I played the old gold box AD&D computer games with and without pumped stats and it was definitely more satisfying to play with the less powerful characters. It took more time but it was fun to develop strategies etc. to help win. To each their own though and I don't think it's wrong to cheat..... just less enjoyable overall.
