Just start a multiplayer game, create your characters and assign them to the same player: you. After that, copy your first mpsave game to the (singleplayer) save directory and play a singleplayer game with more than one of your own characters. And yes, your companions start in the cages in Irenicus' dungeon.

Sorcerers are great, you just pick some spells you really need and you get to use them up to 6 times a day! Just pick magic missile, chromatic orb, identify (not if you have a bard), vocalize, acid arrow, resist fear, horror, fireball, dispel magic, stone skin, chaos, breach(!), lower resistance just for a start.
You can make any party you like, just put some of those nice new classes in there. Just put some fighter power in, I'd recommend a half orcish kensai with two weapon style and longswords. It's very easy to have a thief (dual classed is ok) for traps and a cleric for healing. You could dual class a human (pure) thief to (pure) cleric and wait until your thief skills return.
You could also make an investment in a bard (skald!) and monk. Maybe you want a paladin (inquisitor) and train him in two handed weapon style (there's a great weapon just for him). Or take an elven archer for real power at a distance (and disruption).
Other great options is a dwarven beserker with grand mastery in axes, a half-elfish ranger/cleric (or human ranger dualled at level 9) or a gnomish illusionist/thief. You need a little balancing and just be creative. If you start with a great party of your own, you will be very involved!
