Same can be applied to Potion of Everlasting Vigour: If you didn't romance or befriend Astarion or maybe you are willing to betray that, then by all means...

So, yeah, breaking rp in order to gain better stats / gear, I would count that as cheese. But admittedly, there's "room for interpretation".

Sooooooooooooooooooooo true! In all my runs I never ever let the hag live! And in all my runs I've romanced Astarion so yeah
(I know I know there are dialogue workarounds so he doesn't break the relationship, or if you had the 'early' confession scene he doesn't seem to care about drinking Araj's blood aside from getting some disapproval, but I personally feel dirty doing that).
