Cheating = using any kind of "third party" programs (programs, which are not authorized by the creators of the game) for modifying the game behavior. Using binary editors, game editors, viewers, or special programs that interfere with the game run is cheating.
Cheezy style = taking advantage from an obvious bug or misunderstanding in the game.
Let us note, that using CLUA Console or "cheat codes" is not cheating because it is an integral and documented part of the game. IMO, the console and the "cheat codes" should not be present in the game at all. Otherwise, we cannot sentence players which begin the game with Blackrazors in hands of the "heroes".
On the other hand, "mods" are more difficult question. If you install a "mod" then you are playing a different game. Therefore, it's a question whether a "mod" is cheating. IMO, the XP cap remover is a "mod".

I disagree, mods in BG2 either: Fix Bugs, Make the game more challeging, Make the game more enjoyable. I wouldnt consider mods as cheats. Trainers and hacks would be cheats. Like a GOD mode trainer, or a 1000000 gold when pressing spacebar trainer would be considered as a cheat. Though you dont need trainers in this game cuz you got the allmighty CLUAConsole which IMO is Biowares own trainer that lets you acces most cheats anyway. I dont see any trouble using cheats as long as you enjoy the game yourself. If a guy wants to start out with the best equipment in the game as a lvl 40 character and he enjoyes that, then let him!
