As a continual proponent of the everlasting Roleplaying Perspective, I feel it is my solemn duty to consolidate all true roleplaying knowledge into one post.
Far too often have I witnessed ruthless power-gamers lowering statistics to 3s, answering riddles far above their intelligence correctly, and misusing the idea of evilness. It must end sometime, and that time is now!
Baldur's Gate II is a roleplaying game, so you should hold yourself to some kind of rules, and not make your life nasty by doing things you shouldn't. I intend this to be the base for all exploits by people who have roleplayed an interesting character, a character with an extra spin, or anything that they feel should be changed for the betterment of the Roleplaying Environment.
For instance, alignments and races are the most often confused ideas in the game. Dwarves hate elves, and vice versa. You should never have elves and dwarves in the same party, with the exception of Viconia and Korgan. Gnomes are not wise, so should make the wrong decision every once in a while. Elves love the forest and nature stuff, so should always represent that perspective. As for alignments, an evil person may act the exact same way as a good person, but with totally different motives. The good guy hates slavery because it is demeaning and unfair. The evil guy hates slavery because he remembers how he was inslaved and doesn't want his use of slavery to encourage others to enslave him again.
Please, add tales of characters that represented the true Roleplaying Perspective, and denounce those of the evil powergamers. Let this be a home for wonderful stories of roleplaying gone right, not gone wrong.
Begin!
