Still haven't decided whether i want to do it with NPC's or create my own party, but just in case, what makes up the perfect player created party?

easy
Cavalier Half-orc Barbarian Cleric of Lathanda Avenger or whatever you want. Mage/thief Mage I prefer mage/thieves to straight thieves cause I don't like thieves and there useless 80% of the time. Can't do melee in a real fight. Being able to backstab one bad guy when your facing 10 of em isn't very helpful. The only thing they can do that is usefull is disarm traps. Duel em to a mage and you've got yourself a back up mage. Warby |

I've never done a full 6-player party, I like the npc interaction. But I'm really loving my current party, here's the lineup;
Half Elf Ranger/Cleric (I can't believe how cool this combo is.) Half Orc Fighter/Thief (very cool, good tank. Gonna be insanely powerful once he hits ToB.) Minsc (getting replaced with Mazzy soon)(I'll prolly replace her with *someone* in ToB) Jaheria (keeping her for romance, and she's a good druid) Yoshimo (getting dumped promptly for Edwin) Jan (getting dumped before I go to fetch Imoen) |

In my 'humble' opinion, I would reccomend:
Half-Orc Kensai Halfling Thief Human Shapeshifter Elf Sorcerer Elf Archer Human Monk That'll do fine

Oh, and if you wanna solo, go for either a Sorcerer, Cavalier, or Shapeshifter. But make 'em human, because your gonna need that 'advance to any level' if you go solo.
Sorcerer is the best of those three, just remember: FIREBALL! And get a familiar with spot traps. Very useful.

Ahhhh, returning after a long hiatus. So satisfying.
Personally, I feel the available NPCs are really too weak to put together a strong party--you've almost GOT to create at least 3 characters yourself, if you want to kick ass. I sense that it was actually BioWare's INTENT that you go Multiplayer--if they wanted us to like the NPCs, they'd have included people like Coran. The choice of available NPCs is just too damn sparse....if you want a good Cleric you have to choose between the Evil one with lousy CON and the annoying one with crappy DEX. Imoen's a good Mage, but the way *I* Dual-classed her, she had 100% in Find Traps and Stealth, and she was a Conjurer to boot. Now that they've totally screwed up her Thieving skills, I almost don't want her anymore. Also, there are no Sorcerors, Barbarians, Monks, Kensai, etc. I, personally, am sticking with 6 PC's of my own, this first game, a truly godly party the first time out, so I've got a better chance of doing well on my first game of BG2. My opinion of the 'perfect' party (This may change after I come to understand BG2): Neutral Good Male Human Assassin: 19 / 19 / 16 / 10 / 15 / 17 (to be Dualed to Fighter in ToB) Neutral Good Female Half-Elven Cleric/Mage: 6 / 18 / 16 / 19 / 21 / 19 Lawful Good Female Human Undead Hunter: 178) / 18 / 18 / 10 / 18 / 17 Chaotic Neutral Male Elven Mage/Thief: 13 / 19 / 16 / 18 / 16 / 4 True Neutral Male Human Berserker: 15 / 18 / 18 / 14 / 18 / 10 (will Dual to Cleric in ToB) Chaotic Good Female Elven Archer: 177) / 19 / 17 / 11 / 18 / 12 Quite the lethal team, to my mind. ALL the bases are covered, except I don't have a real Druid. Oh well--but I can always swap in a Totemic Druid->Fighter in the Archer's slot. (I chose Demonic/Fell for my Archer's Racial Enemy, to make up for my lack of a Cavalier, but should I have gone with Mind Flayers or Umber Hulks instead?) I'd like to point out that I have absolutely NO life: All of those numbers were rolled. Well, almost. I gave the Tomes of STR and DEX to the Assassin, and all the other Tomes to the Cleric/Mage....and I did cheat. I hacked the Mage/Thief's CHA down to 4, for roleplay purposes.

I had tons of fun my first game with this 4-person custom party:
Human Cavalier Dwarven Fighter/Cleric Elven Sorcerer Gnomish Thief/Illusionist I also took Jaheira and (eventually) Imoen. -- Nifft |
