Icewind is made for multi, but I think BGII is better as a SP game. That said, I am still going to play my 2nd game as a multi with only 2 or 3 PCs. (just for the challenge)

Hey everbody, what do you think about the topic. I prefer multi-player, making your own party kicks ass. Chosing characters you want in your group.

Single player for me. I wouldn't give up all this hilarious NPC interaction for the world. Oh, and the 'heal on rest' feature is priceless.

well its a tough choice
making your own party is heaps and heaps of fun, cos most of the new kits aren't used by the npc's, so its a good way of experimenting.
but you also miss out on lots of quests (unless you get an npc in your party just for that quest and then dump him) and a lot of npc interaction.
