Don't worry about having a great team--yet. Just play and see what happens. If you get your butt kicked, just Reload and try something different. It's a sobering experience that we all have to go through. As long as you've got a Thief, a Priest (Cleric or Druid), and at least 3 Fighters (one of which is practically invincible), you can't go far wrong.

Be warned that there are certain party members that simply will not get along with other party members for more than a short length of time. Also, be warned that playing an Evil party is not the easiest way to start out a new game. But keep going, and see how you do. I think I started about 15 games (that's 15 different main characters) before I finally beat the thing.

1) Party balance
2) Never run out of Healing Potions
3) Don't be afraid to turn tail and run
4) Do sidequests to earn EXP and find cool items
