Protip: if you play a Paladin, at least be prepared to dedicate a fair number of proficiency dots to 2-Handed Swords in BG2. Note that Paladins and Rangers can't dual-class. Undead Slayers are specialized in killing about 75% of the annoying enemies in Shadows of Amn, and Cavaliers are just vanilla Paladins with immunities and bonuses against rare but tough opponents (and they have to use throwing axes instead of bows, woo). Inquisitors are broken when fighting mages (most of the bosses in both games) thanks to their super-Dispel Magic, but get just about no other Paladin abilities. By the mid-game of BG2, you'll be an unstoppable human blender, especially if you dual-class to Mage and basically negate all your weaknesses with buff spells.Д«erserker (Fighter): Strictly better than a vanilla fighter unless you're making a dedicated archer (don't), since the rage features gives you a bunch of absolutely invaluable immunities.ДЄll Three Paladin Kits: Give you immunities to 2 each of the game's really damn annoying debuffs. Kensai (Fighter): In the beginning, your AC will be terrible. I'm still going to stick to warrior-types for BG1 just because getting killed by the tutorial assassins in Candlekeep is embarrassing. My normal advice for easymoding through the games would be 'play a vanilla fighter in BG1 and select Kensai as your kit in BG2' which gets you the lovely brokenness of the Kensai in 2 without having a **** AC in BG1, where it actually matters. Well, you could always dual-class in the first game, it was just rare to get to a high enough level to make it worthwhile.

Gender and race matters more there, but only in terms of romances, and class matters in terms of the stronghold and associated side quests you can get (although you can easily mod your game to let you get any or all of the strongholds with one playthrough, too.) You also, as I mentioned above, should consider the possibility of Dual Classing in BG2. There's only one 'event flag' that carries over, and I really doubt you're the type to attempt to assassinate and loot Drizzt Do'Urden. I don't recall it being necessary to actually pick up the items that get 'imported' to BG2 with your character - they just spawn in the first dungeon for an import character but not a new one. Oh, preparing for the sequel, just make sure you use any permanent stat-boosting items on your main character, since they're the only ones that get imported (I believe there's a permanent +1 Tome for each major stat). Ranged weapons are very nice in early BG1 since everything tends to die in one hit (including you) and there are a dozen level 1 spells of sticking an enemy in place so you can pincushion it, so make sure you or your compadres have missile weapon skills.Д«ut yeah basically just adhere to notional ideas of party balance when you pick up NPCs and use a walkthrough for the obscure sidequests and you've got nothing to worry about, unless there was a massive amount of new content added.

You need a Mage and a Cleric or Druid of some sort to make tough fights more doable. Want to rob people? Keep Imoen around or pick up another Thief and pump their Open Lock and Pick Pocket skills (just don't forget Find Traps for the dungeon-crawling). Make sure to pick up a balanced party of NPCs depending on what you want to do. Actually, you really want 16+ Dex and Con no matter what you play).

I heartily recommend a human fighter to start for several reasons, mostly survivability and the potential to dual-class to Mage or Thief in the second game (keep rolling until you can afford 17 Int or Dex, respectively.

I haven't picked up the Enhanced Edition (instead, I threw every mod I could find on the original in a drunken frenzy and am now playing that), but unless they added something, there's basically nothing class-specific in Baldur's Gate 1.
