In fact, solo it, Jamski style, as a bard.
Nah. I have an intense dislike of Bards: they suck. Although a Chaotic Neutral Jester or Skald could be fun.

No offense, drouge, but you seem like a pretty boring roleplayer. Explore your evil, twisted, side.
What I mean by roleplaying is playing as if ythe PC were me. I'm not evil, therefore I can't roleplay as me an evil character. I could roleplay it, as in doing what they would do, but I'd rather try it this time as me.
Also, IMHO, there's nothing more interesting than Chaotic Neutral - unpredictable, gambles everything on the role of a die, all about having fun and they get to do good and evil quests, whatever takes their fancy. Evil is so cliched in BG

Jamski, what did you think of my ninja idea? Basically, you'd be playing as a monk, but without the unarmed combat benefits of that class.
You mean a monk, but armed with flails and katanas?
Drogue - play as a Blade or Swashbuckler. I want to hear about the adventures of Drogue the Rogue
Thiefs are surely the most "tactical" class, and fighter/theif multiclass is a very nice deal. You never see the full glory of the theif in SoA or ToB unless you play as a PC thief. Who else is a decent backstabbing type?
Half-orc CN fighter/theif with 19 STR 18 DEX 19 CON and the rest as low as can be imagined. Nice fun backstabbing for huge damage with Celestial Fury or the Staff of the Ram
Tempted ?

Can you dualclass a Swashbuckler with a fighter? Although then I can't backstab. I've played BGI with a PC thief.
I'm more thinking towards a fighter cleric or ranger cleric, either dual or multi-classed. Although a fighter-thief would be fun, and as your suggestion, a half-orc can romance Virconia.
So:
CN half-orc fighter/thief
Virconia (romance)
Yoshi->Imoen
Korgan
Edwin
Any NPC (who?)
Or:
NG human fighter/ranger+cleric (dualed) or elven fighter/ranger+cleric (multi)
Jahiera or Aerie (romance)
Yoshi->Imoen
Keldorn
Kelsey
Minsc
Which is better? The latter has a better RP BGI team (Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, Dynaheir, Imoen) whereas the former can be used as a BGI team too (except for the last NPC). I more leaning towards the latter, since I've played as a thief more, and I like the idea of a fighter/cleric combi. Also, the hide+backstab seems a little cheesy, and takes longer.
Whatever I have, the character will have 18/19 str, 18/19 dex, 18/19 con, then for the f/t, 18 cha, and for the f/c, 18 wis. The others will be whatever else is left.

Can't backstab with staffs, I tried with Imoen's Staff of the Magi

Hahaha!!!!!! BG Noob!!!!1!eleven! Umm... I mean... Theifs can only backstab with weapons usable by a pure thief. This includes staffs swords etc... but no items that normally cannot be used by a thief. So Staff of the Ram is fine, Staff of the Magi is not, Rynn's Staff is fine, Staff of the Woodlands is not...
Very nearly my current game I started last night. No Yoshi, and no intrntion of getting Imoen though. I may kill her or have Edwin turn her to stone. (I'm playing an EVIL party, right?) and the last slot is empty, so only 4 characters. I drank all the Potions of Master Theivery I could afford (7 I think) and then stole literally everything in the whole town from both shops and pockets, selling the stuff I didn't want to one of the blackmarket shops. It was VERY tedious, but the party is now rich and very well equipped, considering we havn't even done the Circus Tent or the Copper Corenet, just the minimum to get Edwin and Viccy.
I like stealing stuff

I'm not a stealing fan. I'm thinking of going fighter or ranger and cleric. However fighter, ranger or stalker?

Also, quick question: Does using Tutu mean I can't play BGII normally?

I'm also curious as to what exactly this program does, and how reliable it is. Can you play the BG2 new character types? And where does the first expansion fit in?
Tutu is a mod that converts BGI, using the BGII engine and classes. It basically makes it BGII, but the BGI storyline and game. It is well known and used (Stuie just finished a game with it) and so is seen as reliable. Yes you use the new character types, and it is compatable with TotSC and ToB (expansions for BGI and BGII respectively).
I've just DLed it, to start a game with

Its a very small file that tells BG2 to take all the maps, scripts and dialogs from BG1 and use those instead of the ones in BG2. They both use the same basic file structure and scripting language (Hey, some of the same Bioware scripts are in NWN and KOTOR) so its an easy conversion. It does make BG1 a little bit easier, but I'm sure you can live with that.
There's a project "IcewindGate" which is the same idea, but the conversion is to play BG2 using the even more superior IWD2 version of the IE and the 3eD&D rules set. Its in beta now

Do you people use character scripts and if yes, then what? I dabbled a bit in scripting and most of all tried to create a script that changes from dual-wield to a bow (or crossbow) automatically. I did manage to do this somehow, but it wasn't very pretty or practical. If someone knows a script that does it, I sure would be interested.
I never use IE character scripts apart from a simple
IsTargetDead?
If True then AttackNextEnemy
On fighters.
