I feel like I would show up to Cheese club, but lactose intolerant and skeeved by the dairy lol.
To me, if there's a good reason to scumily reload six times just to see a chunking animation or something interesting happen, that's always worth it!
But yeah I guess Exploits would be abusing the meta and glitches. Cheese would be like every solution to the Drizzt fight from BG1 that didn't involve kiting around in an absolute panic with hasty boots and an absurd number of arrows lol.
Or herding Gnolls around with CC spells until having to do the above anyway hehe
Showcased example of cheese would have been using invulnerability and reverse damage via shield to make him basically kill himself which felt pretty fondue.
Showcased example of exploit, would be initiating convo click to make him stop running, then ungrouping/dismissing the rest of the party in place, to body block/trap Drizzt with 5 other party members while Charname just sniped him laughed.
Both were totally viable in my view, depending on how much time you feel like spending in the game. To each there own I guess. I doubt there'd be an achievement for save scum splunking, but I know in my heart, that's true BG and also part of the fun. Ideally we get a cool Mode or a cool Mod that improves computer tactics to the point where the cheese doesn't feel too cheesy. The only thing I'd hold myself to is maybe RP related stuff, or perhaps self nerfing Haste so it's only used for attacks, or avoiding the craziest consumables and scrolls, but even that's tough. I can keep that up for a little while, most other stuff I fail at. I'm too impulsive I think hehe
