It's sort of like BG1. Your characters are totally weak when you start, so that goblins and orcs are menaces. By the time you're in Chapter 2, though, you really start coming into your power.
Personally, I like starting from scratch. It's a great feeling to see your characters develop from fledglings to true heroes.
Cheers,
