BranjoHello: Another ditto here.
Ditto the ditto of the ditto?
I'm not really familiar with the AD&D characters (despite probably having played loads of games based on them). I usually end up hybriding everything in an attempt to be able to do all the stuffs, but I hear Icewind Dale is good against that.

I'm just about to start Baldur's Gate 2, so you can probably ask me again in a few months :D

I'm in for Pickle1477. That's the kind of party I would put together also

Thanks Coelocanth :)

I have not played the game, but based on my experience with the Baldur's Gate series I would go with this:

Boddic: Male Human Paladin
Thongar: Male Dwarf Fighter (would be Half-Orc if Icewind Dale offered it)
Doruk: Male Dwarf Fighter/Cleric
Anaria: Female Half-Elf Cleric./Ranger
Jenail: Male Elf Mage/Thief
Cenill: Male Human Invoker

What if I never played Icewind Dale? >_> Can I still participate?

Enebias: I already own the game, so I'm obviously not in, but thanks for your numerous giveaways! ;)

Since IWD is a melee-heavy game, my party was composed of almost only humans, the only exceptions being an half-elf fighter/druid (I needed those healing spells while my human fighter (lv9)/cleric was shaping up for dual classing) and a pure fighter Dwarf to use as tanker. The rest of the party was composed by a fighter(lv3)/mage specialized in bows, a fighter/thief (named Martin Looter King, for instance) and a Bard.
Here is my suggestion for all the new players: pick a bard in your team! That class is obscenely overpowered! With the "War chant of Sith" you'll be almost invincible.
I like the bard a lot more in the D&D Third Edition or in 3.5. In the games based on the rules of those editions, the bard is always present in the party. And despite being melee heavy, i never felt in IWD the need for more than two fighters (but i abused the active pause a lot, i confess that).

True, even a party with just two fighters can manage to go through the game with no issues at all.
In my playthrough, I preferred to use a fighter-heavy party because the difficulty was cranked up to the max, and having those more HP along with a "to hit" bonus helped a lot, especially in the first and last phases!

By the way... congrats to the winner, and thanks to Coelocanth!
