aye, emotional attachment is the key. i had played through bg1 and SoA countless times before i finally realized what i wanted to take into ToB, and that was the first character i had that finished bg1. he was the one i would constantly reload to fight battles if he died rather than cheating around it; all of his abilities and items were legit; and while his party's composition was less than ideal at times, he managed to lead them to success.
part of the problem with replaying a game is the player's omniscience about what is going to happen. this in turn makes us try to plan out way in advance what npc's we want, what items we need, etc. the unpredictability and spontenaiety of that first time through can never be duplicated.
my advice is take the character that is the most "you", or if you hate yourself, the character that is most "not-you". then forget everything you know about the game and try to play it like the naive little adventurer you were when you first left candlekeep.
