I have a thing with choosing my character class in rpg's. It has to make sense (to me) and not be redundant. For Baldur's Gate, I always felt that i should play a mage, because the player character was raised by a wizard, or maybe a cleric because he was raised in a monastery/library full of monks and scholars. Maybe even a sorcerer. I've almost always played as a pure mage, and it payed off in BGII, where the only pure mage available is edwin (this will change if Neera appears there).
Another player i know of played a fighter/mage, so as to combine the player characters upbringing and the instincts of the god of death. I kind of like this because he/she would be able to use Sarevok's two handed sword in BGII.
A thief/mage would make sense as well, from the god of murder point of view, but it would be useless with Immoen in the party, especially in BGII.
What do you think?
