My first party was:
Cridion - Bounty Hunter (traps rock!)
Minsc - Go Boo!
Aerie - Useful with cleric/mage status
Anomen - Useful with cleric/fighter status
Keldorn - Couldn't resist Carsomyr
Nalia - Good mage, but replaced with Imoen
As you can see there is one thief(Cridion), two mages(Aerie/Nalia), two clerics(Aerie/Anomen), and three fighters(Minsc/Keldorn/Anomen). This party is IMHO well balanced. Also, I don't need Yoshimo. Edwin, Korgan and Viconia weren't included because of their alignments and possible conflicts.

My party is going to be like this:

Me! Lanya the amazing bard! Wielding longsword/bastard (if I make her a blade, she dualwields daggers)

Nalia: main mage!

Jan: thief, backup mage and nice dialogue with everyone, especially with Nalia.

Viconia: main healer and cleric who tanks if needed. Nice personality.

Anomen: MAin tank who can also heal and stuff.

Jaheira: The necessary druid who tanks and heals.

Very magicheavy party, but I like it like that. :cool: Nice to see how this works out. Should have a lot of nice dialogue.

I went through the game about half way with the npc's until I finally had a revelation: the npc's suck. I then restarted the game with two of my own creations:

berserker
wizard slayer to level 9, dual to thief

I found this to be an incredibly powerful combo, I'm never playing with npc's again.

    Keldorn - the guy just plain kicks arse
    Anomen - awesome and a front line fighter with master of war hammer)
    Valygar - how come nobody likes this guy...he's great)
    Jaheira - Love interest and bust ya in the chops fighter
    Yoshimo/Imoen - The scumbag was replaced by sis,who hangs out in the background and soaks up experience.

My preferd partys:

1)Sorcerer
2)Haer Dalis

1)Sorcerer

1)Mage/Thief
2)Korgan
3)Jaheira

1)Mage/Cleric
2)Haer Dalis

1)Sorcerer
2)Haer Dalis
3)Serevok

1)Blade

Analise:
Haer Dalis: Simply the best, a full party inn one, awesome abilities.

Serevok: Only a good fighter, I think I put him in the party only because Historical purposes.

Korgan: As Serevok but without the historical purpose, don't know why I put him.

Jaheira: Good multiclass( I like with scimitars)

Edwin: Awesome Npc! Very powerfull.

Aerie: So so, good for few menbers party, Talk too much.

Viconia: Great cleric, but thats all. I prefer run for Aerie.

Cernd: Nice character, beter after the Scales armor rule changes(White and Black)

Anomem: The most anoying character of all the game. He beat( in anoying) Aerie and that guy who keeps talking with you everytime.

Keldorn: The only thing that make him not that bad is the True Sight/Dispell and of course the Casomyr.

Jan: Is good if you know the Yoshimo/Imoen spoilers.

Imoen: Too much sporadic.

Valigar: Good, better than Keldorn.

Nalia: Never used.

Mazzy: Never used.

Yes: Don't! ;) Unless she annoys you, of course. She's very handy in many ways if you learn how to use her.
