Isn't Throne of Bhaal much more suitable for solo games than Shadows of Amn?

Shadows of Amn contains many dialoguish quests, and contains quite a few annoying parts that you have to live through to get back to killing and overall, the main emphasis is on roleplay. Throne of Bhaal, however, is all about the powergaming, HLA gaining and boss killing.

The absolute best solo experience I had was with a F/M/T in Throne of Bhaal. I had a lvl 40/40/40 cap put on, so the game was quite enjoyable, but not too overpowered(as opposed to SoA when you get Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting

).

I have made plans to start a new Monk in Throne of Bhaal and raise all his stats to 25(A Monk with realistic stats surely wouldn't make it with the Tougher mod on). I think it'll be a blast!

Any thoughts?
