Original Message: On "Cheating"
I feel that cheating is something that can be used to make an unfair advantage over what the game creator’s original design was. In this case the reanimate trick probably wasn’t what BDJ had in mind but it doesn’t give an unfair advantage over the game (still have to kill all the dragons and other high level creatures in that area anyway). Going to DS and looting all the treasure to get nice equipment? Not cheating. Using an editor to give you a bow that does additional +25 fire damage and is explosive? Cheating. Although I must agree with to each his own, I will refuse to use an editor unless it’s for something major i.e. the Lich Jar Bug that peter2 mentioned. Editors for me are on the same level as inputting a cheat code to give your party infinite health. Just something I don’t like…
