WELCOME PUDNEY!
I'm playing at being wecomer today
Yes it matters. Even in BG1 opposite alignments have been known to kill each other. Jaheira & Khalid just took one look at two people I had with me when they joined and killed 'em on the spot, once!
And whatever your alignment, I find it a good idea to have 2 Fighter types, 2 Cleric types, 2 Mage types and a Thief. So you will need Dual and Multi characters in your team - but these are actually easier to get than single-class characters, anyway. Getting single-class has always been my aim, as far as possible.
