gcates - I would certainly not limit your use of this forum for help. It helped me a ton. I kind of had a mixed strategy on my first play through. Trying to do most on my own while leaning on the wiki and the forum for hints and clues, when I was stumped for extended period of time. As others have stated. Do what is most fun for you. Some like to be lost and stumped for days. Others get satisfaction out of consistent progress. Whatever works for you.
I think the moralistic and interpretive discussions of the best way to play the game can be interesting, assuming everyone respects the fact that everyone does not agree. I don't think it is worth it to get too emotionally involved in those types of discussions though as with many discussions of those types people can quickly misinterpret the intentions in the written words.
Good luck!
