I will have to agree with me0w here the majority of the fights are pretty easy. Although it can depend on a few things. It depends on what npcs you take with you, it depends on if you expolit the games bugs like the trick when you go in and out of a room or down stairs to waste mages spells. It also depends on if you are going solo or not. For some people going solo is a lot harder than if you are having a party or soloing is a lot easier than having a party it all depends on your playstyle and how you play the game.
Also this thread is about your fave fight it has nothing to do with how hard it is so saying a fight is easy or hard isnt even realavent to the topic.

[QUOTE=me0w]heh, sorry if that sounded rude. I'm not a "cheese gamer", but you sometimes need to reload when for some reason one of my weak magish characters are walking ahead of everyone. But common, the fights are easy.
There are weak teams, any team with Garrik or Xan, or characters like that, those guys make anyteam weak.
Sheesh [/QUOTE]
(Last words about this) I've never played with Garrick, but I can assure you that Xan is not weak. Alot of gamers who like to hack n slash themselves trough the game, open his spellbook, can't see "Magic Missile" or "Fireball" and dump him immediatly. Personally, i love Xan. What would be the best tactic: damaging a person with Magic Missile for a louzy 14 damage, or charming a fighter who instantly chops two of his comrades to pieces? Enchantment/Charm spells are seriously underrated in this game. Plus Xan has an interesting (altough not very happy) personality. I love his one-liners ("The sun shines, the birds sing, and i'm amazed to see we live another day")

Obviously spells like charm, hold person and sleep are way more powerfull then stuff like Chromatic Orb or magic missile. But Xan sucks. His stats are poor, his health is like 20 at like 7, he has one of the best swords, yet he really can't use it. He is stupid, if they gave his higher strength and constitution, he would be great, but above those flaws, he is the most infuriating character ever.
Ok, most fun fight, well any fight where you actually fight a set of merc's or adventurers, you actually need to use a bit more strategy than usual. I quite liked fighting the wizards of thay, not hard, but a nice fight, you can just sit idly by, you have to try to prevent all of them from casting.

Hmm iv decided to go through bg1 again with an all spell caster party and im definetly going to take Xan . Just because Xan cant cast fireball and magic missle it doesnt mean hes completly useless. There are lots of other good spells out there that are just as usefull eg: Charm, Hold person, Haste, mirror image, Monster suommonings, invisibilty etc etc.
Besides once you get past level 6 your warriors can hit twice as hard as magic missile and chromatic orb anyway.

Fireball - take the wand of fire with you.
Magic missile - not really usefull in BG1 until very late in the game.
Xan is very handy, his Melf Acid Arrows had the backup of Dynaheir with orbs and magic missiles, but he would have done well as the only mage of the group if that was the need.

I do finish BG1 and 2 each years 2 time each for sure.With a different party/protagonist each time.In BG1, the coolest fight is against Davaeorn or the fight against the Knight in Durlag's Tower last room.In BG2 the coolest fight is against the Twisted Rune.

Funniest fight experience
Been soloing an elven F/M/T with excap removed. I had just rescued Duke Elton and got him to safety and my spells were pretty much exhausted - but I didn't want to rest yet. So I went into the Under Cellars to find the two assassins (Slythe and Kristin I think were the names). On my first attempt Slythe simply backstabbed my char to death. I reloaded and on the second attempt I used the wand of polymorphing on Slythe while he was still talking his trash and still had a neutral blue circle on him. Well poor Slythe became transmorgified into a fluffy little squirrel. A cute little smartass assassin squirrel. While at first taken aback by the events he eventually regained his squirrel composure and decided to turned hostile. Guess he was going to bite my ankles and try to whittle my char down to his size. I was forced to whap him and poor Slythe's squirrelly constitution just couldn't hold up to a +2 throwing axe. Kristin had gone invisible and I just had to stand there for the longest time waiting for her to reappear. When she did reappear a constant barrage of throwing axes kept her from getting any spells off until she too died. This has got to be the funniest battle I've experienced. Even funnier than dire charming someone from a group of ambushers and having them kill all their own party or die trying. Used that technique at least a half dozen times and turned some of the harder battles into cake walks.

Depends if you want the hardest fight or my fave fight .
My fave would be the bar room brawl type fight, in Baldur's Gate, near Duke Eltan's palace I think (been years ). Where some other mercenaries come in and start a fight based on the fact you stole their places at the bar .
I can't really remember the hardest fight, Davaeorn was always tougher than most, but I'm sure there were harder.
Ironically I think the hardest fight is an easter egg - I would say its the fight with about 8 Phoenix Guards (warriors that cause a fireball on the spot they die) when you repeatedly click a certain grave stone in Nashkell. You click it once and this old mage pops up and asks you not to do that... click again and away you go .
