this one is a little arbitrary and rambling:
party:
as Black_Knight very wisely notes, your party will depend hugely on your protagonist. i kinda find it hard (swallow) to dump jaheira, imoen or minsc. so i'd say keep them. (this is different if you're evil..) anyway why would anyone ever leave minsc. even considering the fighters and paladins in the game.. i have to say.. no one kicks butt like minsc does. i dont know what it is with him.. even if i try giving someone else greater strength (by means of a girdle or something) minsc always does max damage and is usually finished with his opponent before anyone else is finished with theirs.
so if you're a spellcaster like i am, you'd want to pick up keldorn and valygar along. that gives you 2 or 3 great fighters. keldorn can wield carsomyr, valygar dual wield katanas or shoot arrows. minsc - give him crom faeyr/skullcrusher or mace of disruption. that leaves you with a good party except you dont have clerical abilites.
the problem with taking viconia or other evil chars into your party when you're of good alignment is that they're going to leave when your rep shoots up. when i played.. i didnt consult walkthroughs to find out when exactly my rep was going to get a +. so you cant control it (coz you dont know when its going to happen).
one more thing: not that this is directly related.. but imho, crom faeyr is better by far than carsomyr. i know carsomyr is more cool and all but crom faeyr just seems to do far more damage, especially considering that you're strength becomes 25! and you can wield another good weapon.
