Remember (or not) the times when only BG1 was out.
We had not much problems to dual class at lower levels.
Because the only game that existed was this one and it was a way to take the best of a fantastic game.
At this point, I'm quite sure the people not willing to dual class in this game have started playing the BG Saga when BG2 was out.
So will your *really* only play with a basic/kit warrior or thief, only because you are afraid of not being ultimately powerfull in the late part of the second game, after thousand hours of gaming ?
EDIT : If you want to create a straight thief/mage/warrior class or kit, of course you have the right to.
But if you want to dual class don't be afraid of the level cap
Do you know that you can either restart a game for a character that will follow you in BG2 or recreate one at the beginning of BG2 (with a little help of CLUA if you are too afraid). ?
=> I have this question also : do you finish ALL the BG games (IE : BG1, BG2, TOB) with ALL you characters ?
So after all these questions you can ask yourself to soften your frightened mind, let's face the interest of dual classing so that we can enjoy BG1:
- Dual classing can bring more hitpoints.
- it allows you to use more items.
- You can have the best usage of the low XP cap.
- You can have access to better class combo.
- More weapon proficiencies
So, if you really want to enjoy your playthroughs, you can do the following :
- Warrior 6 / Priest 8
- Thief 6 / Mage 9
- ...
Have you realized that for BG1, these dual classing possibilities are fantastic ?
But no no no I only dual in BG2 because I only want a super powerful character and I don't want to enjoy BG1 !
=> Remember that you can create a character for BG2 when it's out !
Enjoy the game the way it is currently and what it offers, you'll have plenty of time to play BG2:EE !
