2)Which strategy? Fly through the chapters than do the quests or do all the quests than go get Imoen.

3) If I install TOB, can I exceed 2950000 XP while still playing SOA?

4) If you dual wield, what 2 weapons would you want to dual wield?

5) How many "tanks" do you usually have within your party? How about spell casters?

6) If I'm more interested in having my own customized party and am more interested in combat rather than "true" role playing than which game is for me? Icewind Dale or Baldur's Gate 2?

1)BGII. Then comes the IWD expansion. And finally ToB.
2)I'd advise you to do all the quests first, since you'll need the experience once you go for Imoen. Unfortunately, the game felt too empty for me afterards. I actually found BGII to be too short.
3)As far as I know, yes.
4)I personally duel wield Crom Fyer and the Equaliser, though there may be better combinations.(and you'll find these two rather late in the game).
5)If you consider clerics to be spell casters, I have 3 tanks and 5 spell casters, (granted one of them isn't that good).If you only consider mages, then 3 tanks, and 3 mages.
6)IWD, definately, if you want a customised party IWD can be heaven, if you now how to use its importing abilities properly.
