Methinksyou'vebeenhittingthekegstohardm'lady.

That's gnomespeak. Decipher it and earn a brand spanking new nothing! =P

I used to multi ALOT. I have since only been involved in the occasional multi game. BG2 and IWD are the best multis, BG1 is more of a when you're sittin at home and PS:T has WAY to much dialog!

Anyhoot another good thing (imo) is when you attempt to formulate a plan, then when you get up there attempting it all goes to hell. The mage decides a firebal might kill them in one shot, not thinking to looksie up and see that you've got 34 hp and a fireball would gib you as well.

However the best thing is when you find a group of people who like roleplaying within te party. I had a group of five and we actually had inter-party squabbles. I play a NE assassin, a buddy of mine plays a CG ranger, there was also a LG paly, CN bard, CE invoker. Well being evil the mage and I decide to wreak havoc in the party. So whenever we see something we can kill without the whole world coming after us we do so. It all started in Umar hills. I started picking off squirrels, the ranger got ticked and came at me wielding his axes. After a short altercation we stopped and continued on the journey. later that day we found ourselves in the shadelord's dungeon. Combat was heavy and there it was, the ranger's spine, sticking out mocking me. I downed a potion of invis, walked up to the ranger, there is so much combat information they'll never notice i said. Slam with a slash from celestial fury we had one gibbed ranger on our hands. I quickly resumed fighting with the shadowdragon.

Next we had the shadelord. For some reason my magic using friend refused to fight the shadelord yet. Said something about he wanted to reset his spells(we had already rested once). Well the LG paladin already disliked the CE mage and told him to stuff it. The mage laughed and swore his revenge. We went up the stairs to fight the lord of shades. After a good minute or so the wizard has vanished...he is on the other side of the treeline and is casting fireballs on us.
