Sorry, but I role play my characters intelligently, especially when my character is intelligent. Never play a character in a CRPG with an Intelligence less than being above average. Not my style to play the dumb barbarian. Aslo I do not metagame. I take what action would be appropriate to the character given the resources he or she has. I play on the hardcore level, not abve it or below it, in every game I play. Its the closest level of difficulty to the actual rules set.
I am aware of every element of my character, both strengths and weaknesses, and I play accordingly.
