I like spiders. I have adopted a lady spider on my porch and have been feeding it critters for three years now. It's about the length of my index finger.
I wish we had nice spiders in DA I instead of having to kill all of the giant, evil ones.
I always find if I discover a cheat or exploit I get bored of the game soon after. I spent an hour or two knocking things I had no chance of killing off cliffs in Dark Souls ended up getting bored and never finishing the game.
This. Reason why I wont be exploiting exploits this time.
I have a nice infestation of black widows I could transplant for you:)
I would have moved out...
The only time I ever use that command is with spiders, I won't give those bitches time to eat my face...
Same here!Sometimes cheats can be really useful if you're an arachnophobe.
My first playthrough will be without cheats, following playthroughs will have mods if the game is able to be modded. I'll probably start using actual 'cheats' on the 3rd playthrough really.
My first playthrough I'm pretty much going to be in as myself. Make my own decisions, my own mistakes, see what happens. Second playthrough I'll use that experience to have a bit of a clearer idea of what works best for the kind of Inquisition I want and base my decisions accordingly. Everyone has different ideas of fun though 
I've never used any mods or cheats, though if I'm in a real quandary I have sometimes been known to look things up to help with my strategy.
I dont think level scaling is necessarily bad, just not well implemented in some games. The Elder scrolls are a great example of this. The Game can be easy at certain levels and hard in others. My last playthrough of skyrim I intentionally stopped leveling past the low-mid 30's because thats the point in the game when things see about the easiest (at least to me). Getting out of the 30's can often make the game harder. Going higher in level should make the game easier not harder. Id rather have no level scaling than poorly designed level scaling like the elder scrolls have. Dont mistake this for skyrim hate though, I like it enough to get 400+ hours in it. Undecided if I will cheat in my first playthrough, I try to avoid it on the first playthrough but it doesnt always work out.
I always play the vanilla game the first time through. After the first completion, that when it is all bets are off. Mods: Check!, Console: Check, List of cheat codes: Check. For me I play for the story, and seeing how the story branches off, seeing all the dialogue options.
Not for the first playthrough. Later on I will no doubt use appearance mods and meta-game to get all the quests or outcomes that I want. Is that cheating?

I cheat when I want to do something that the game isn't really designed for and that is after a few normal playthroughs. For example, do a fast solo playthrough of the BG games. I just mod my character stats to max, pick a mage/thief/fight elf and off I go destroying everything.
I also sometimes max my stats in the Elder Scrolls games to try new stuff (mega spells you can't normally cast is a good example, well before Skyrim came along and remove spellcrafting *sniff*).
The only case of cheating to finish a game was Tachyon The Fringe, I couldn't finish the last mission without using god mode (funny part about that game, your character would call you on enabling cheating). I don't remember if I cheat to finish Risen though. I remember getting really tired that normal enemies would take ~5 minutes each to kill in the last act. I had no problem with defeating them, it was just too long and boring for my taste, but I don't remember if I just put the game on easy or if I upper my character stats.
Don't really mind spiders but black widows freak me the hell out. Had one crawl over my bare foot when I was a kid (shudders).
I always just play it normally, I'm not really one for the cheats/mods. Guides on the other hand I do use sometimes, just for after my first play through though, that one is always blind...and it shows....I screw so much up lol.

We have vastly different definitions of nice; I won't go out of my way to harm a spider, but I also don't want one near me I can see.
I never use cheats. It is pointless, like "press to win" button. My first playthrough will be on hard difficulty so that I will be able to fully get to know the game in experience. Every next playthrough will be on nightmare.

It depends on the player- if someone is playing through just for the story, gameplay might not be as important.
Story is more important to me, and my immersion breaks when I see half my team dead on the ground and then magically pop up the minute that last enemy drops, so I sometimes use the immortal command when its very likely my comps are going to be silly. ( I only set them out for battle at the beginning and let them get on with it, no pause and strategise) So if that command is in DAI I suppose I'll be using that often.
Hardest difficulty, no cheats, in fact the tougher the better, that way it is more satisfying to win. Second play through I'll use mods maybe, if there are any.
+1
Never use cheats, never use mods. I ain't about that life. ONLY after I've beaten the game several times would I possibly incorporate a mod of some sort (not to make the game easier, just to add some new kind of value to it).
Also Nightmare or nothing. Same with my Mass Effect motto of Insanity or nothing (though Nightmare in Dragon Age games has always been significantly harder than Insanity in Mass Effect).
