No such thing as cheating in a single-person game.

    Who are you going to cheat? Yourself? That's impossible. You can't cheat yourself, that just doesn't make any sense at all. You play the game the way that suits you best at the time you're playing it. You've bought the game, you've paid for it, you are absolutely entitled to play the game however you want, and nobody has any right to to accuse you of doing anything wrong. The most they are entitled to say is "I wouldn't do it like that". That's their opinion, but there is no reason that it should impinge on you at all. It is again your absolute right to shrug your shoulders and continue playing the game in any way you please.

    Sometimes I use the feature in the game that gives my druid Dark Magic, and sometimes I don't. Occasionally I equip my sorcerer with a sword, but mostly I don't. And so on.

    The only time a person can cheat is when he/she has made claims about what he/she has done within stated limits, and he/she has lied about it.

    What most people mean by "cheating" is that the game has not been played in a way that obeys the rules they they think should be followed. And I maintain that those people have no right whatsoever to inflict their rules on any other person. End of argument.
