I found out the one time I tried to cheat through a game with the first time I played Morrowind that cheating makes the game extremely boring and I never did it again. That is not to say I don't use cheats but they are only to get around stupid game design decisions or bugs and not to make the game easy. (if the game is way too hard for me to get through I will use cheats to lower the level of difficulty to a manageable level like in action oriented games)
