I have done it myself also, but I finished the game just twice. I've even created characters of all classes and their respective kits, exported them, but most have never started the game yet.
I've already used monk, fighter/thief, berserker, standard fighter, fighter/mage, thief/mage, undead hunter, Priest of Helm, Sorcerer and Assassin, but actually, the ones with whom I finished the game were the undead hunter and the standard fighter; and I'm about to finish my third game with another fighter (the berserker).
Next time I promise I'll have the courage to finish the game with a spellcaster!

LOL Looks like this is a common theme. I'm a newbie to this place - just got the game about a month ago. I'm still on my original game (in chapter 3 currently) although I stopped at one point midway through chapter 2 and restarted at start of chapter 2 to change my party makeup.

Using a sorcerer at present, with Minsc, Jaheira, Jan, Anomen, and Keldorn.

That being said... I can relate to this thread. I am already looking forward to my 2nd run through the game. Will probably play as a Paladin (undead hunter sounds cool?) and might add a 2nd NPC (Elvin Archer w/19dex and GM for Gesen bow?).

There are other classes I want to try but I like the interaction between the NPCs and thus dont want to use too many created characters in one shot.

At some point, an evil party with Edwin, Korgan, and Viconia is in the works as well.

I DO wonder how long I'll do my current game before I get bored and try the 2nd good party. Do most of you finish with your 1st or 2nd try, or do you fiddle around with different party makeups before finding one you like and THEN finish with that one?

Hmmm....interesting, much interesting indeed.
Well , that startin' over plague is a very known problem.
The shrinks call it in their professional language "BGHWIP" (means : Baldur's Gate Half Way Impotence Phenomenon".
It means that the subject can't be brave/strong/bored enough to play the game until the end.
The sad thing is that Viegra (sp?) wont help against this problem although I've heard that a little vacation from IE (Infinity Engine) games might help (recommended vacation time : 2-3 weeks).
J/K...

Wow! I thought this was just my problem, too!

Anyway about particulars: I've played BGII-SoA and ToB through with Paladin protagonists and Elven Fighter/Mage protagonists before starting to obsessively fool around with evil bards & mages.
In one case I played a Monk just far enough to get the Castle.

I'm guilty of the same thing (restarting without completion, I mean).

I am sooooooooo sick of Irenicus' dungeon! I can even more or less quote what he says at the start scene:

"Ahh, the child of Bhaal has awoken. It is time for more... experiments."

*ZIIINNGG!* (whatever spells he's hurling)

"Interesting. You have much untapped power."

*ZIIIIINNNNGG!*

"Urghh!" (protagonist moaning)

"Do you even realise your potential?!"

etc, etc.

Anyway, I must have restarted about 10 times and am so relieved to know I'm not the only one

Amergin I have a suggestion for your todo list. I was rather fond of the berserker cleric idea and then I discovered the ranger/cleric. while not quite up to the berserker cleric's melee ability a range is a good fighter and your ranger/cleric can cast druid spells!
