I played through a lot of BG2 with a solo thief. It was the only time I ever bothered with picking pockets and stealing from shops, and I quickly found it boring. Picking pockets is only rarely useful (in BG1, there's a sword and a cloak, both over-powered... that's about it). By the end of any game I always have tens if not hundreds of thousands of gold, and most of the best weapons and equipment are found on corpses, not stores (because if it's worth having, someone probably bought it already).
