[Mourn Yauntyyr]

Yeah, I thought about doing that. That's what I liked (initially)about Icewind Dale - I could make my own party and control their progress. But its also what I didn't like about IWD. To me, Baldur's Gate is so much more of an RPG - you MUST interact with those around you, especially party members. IWD is just a combat game that happens to use AD&D rules. Also, in BGII you only play one character, though you control the others in combat. Therefore it is like playing with a real party.

BGII just wouldn't be the same without all the party issues that happen. I wouldn't enjoy it half as much. It makes for a much better story, in my opinion.
