For dualing over pretty late then spending 300,000 gold on scrolls to reactivate my original class very quickly? Erase/relearn is part of the game but it did sort of feel dirty doing it for an hour...

Also, BG II is pretty good! Doing a tour of classic old RPG's (before this did FF7) and I've gotten sucked in pretty hard. A little odd because I can't help but compare to it's most recent successor, DAO, but after you play for a few hours you don't even notice stuff like graphics anymore.

Well, if you didn't use cheats or exploits to earn those 300,000 gold, then I guess no. It's still part of the game, so I'd say it's a legit way to earn back the levels.

As long as you play the way you enjoy, it also doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You'll find some that think that you've exploited a game mechanic knowing that it's not really in the spirit of the "rules". You'll also find some, like me, that think you should do whatever makes the game fun for you since it doesn't affect anyone else.

From a roleplaying perspective, your mage/wizard gains a little insight each time he scribes a found scroll into his spell book.  Perhaps he's a perfectionist, or has OCD =)  When he locates another copy of a spell he already knows, he erases the previous attempt at scribing the scroll into his spellbook.  He continually refines his scribing skills, always improving the transfer of the words on the scroll into his book, and gains a little knowledge (exp) each time he does it.

Now, if you used Shadow Keeper to give yourself that 300k gold, that's another question entirely =)

I take it you dualed into a Mage?  What class did you dual from, and what lvl did you dual at?

Well the way I see it, you're not really learning from experience if you learn a spell, forget it, and then learn it again. Kinda merits the 10-INT standard IMO.



But more importantly, I do believe we're all entitled to play how we see fit and enjoy. So if it makes you :) then by all means go on.

I just 'cheated'. Replaying the whole series with a Ranger/Cleric, but I'm not going to 'effing' roll over an hour again like I used to. Made the exact same character in II and used that automatic rolling download, which is somewhere on the old forum. After one hundred rolls it already gave me a 96 with 18/82 and so I used GateKeeper to recreate it in the original.

In my opinion it isn't cheating. I could've wasted another hour or so of my life trying to get the same results, but I just used 'someone's' finger to do the work. Just like I made my friend train my Pokémon as a child, only on wild ones, because I wanted the trainers for myself :P.

To long, didn't read: if it's in the game, it isn't cheating in my opinion. 'Cheesing' is the correct term right?

An autoroller isn't exactly "in the game". So, yeah, you cheated (in the technical sense), but who cares?

True. It's semantics. I'd rather let my computer get RSI and a headache from calculating than myself :P.

I still feel Fallout is a bit easier to get into though.

If you have to ask on a forum to calm your mind, then yes, you clearly stepped over the boundaries that you yourself agreed upon as "the Rules" of the game.
But don't worry, we won't think any worse of you for it.

It's within the rules, so it's not cheating. And even it were: who cares.:P It's a singleplayer game and you're not hurting anyone. Of course it's entirely different in a multiplayer game. Plus: what exactly IS cheating? I remember a heated argument on a Fallout Tactics forum on the question whether saving/reloading was to be considered cheating, with some people seriously defending the position that saving your game was in fact cheating.
Personally i really hate the ambushes between areas  in the Cloakwood. Why would i do something i hate? Wyvern/giant spider: meet Control+Y. Never felt guilty about that for a second.
