I think a problem with self-restraint is that the AI will still exploit these loopholes even if you choose not to? That pretty much ruins my experience. I want eveyone to play by the same rules....sure, a boss can have something extraordinary, within reasonable limits (they already have things like legendary actions, used to good effect in "the other game") , but that should be something rare and exciting. Already things like hurling potions to heal people etc leave a bad taste in my mouth - I don't do that, but the AI certainly does.
Definitely! For me, these are exactly the sorts of cheese that impinge on my playthrough that I hope Larian will fix, though I'd not go as far as saying that the AI using them ruins my experience, it just makes me a bit grumpy.
Though we should probably keep the discussion here focussed on topic given there's already another recently active thread talking about cheesy exploits and mechanics in general at
