Hey guys. A friend and I are planning on playing Baldurs Gate I over a LAN in the near future, and I was looking for some advice/warnings. I never played anything over a LAN, so I was wondering if I could expect any form of trouble. Also, would it be advicable to use one of those Mods that integrates BGI into BGII? Or are they still packed with bugs? A more game related question: since my mate has never played BGI before, he can play the protonagist. I'll play support (Ranger/Cleric). I never took on BGI with a multiclassed character.. will difficult will it be? On another note, we'll be trying to make this an excellent roleplaying experience. So I was wondering on what kind of party to take? Since we will going through both BGI and II, I was thinking on taking on the NPC's you start with there (at least for a while, anyway). So our party would probably look like this:

PC
PC
Imoen
Khalid
Jaheira
And maybe for a while, Minsc, Dynahair, Edwin or Viconia.

Or perhaps we shouldn't take any kind of party at all..
Suggestions?
