I was just thinking about this earlier.
You could go the standard-
3 fighters, 1 cleric, 1 mage, 1 thief.

Maybe Paladin, Ranger, fighter, Cleric, Thief, Mage.

Beyond that you have all your multi class options too.

I agree with Desdicado. This combination is good, at least in BG1.

I generally don't like questions like this one, but I'm gonna answer anyway.

First,
WELCOME TO IW!!! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Now, to the topic... If you're playing for the first time you'll probably play the party of 3 fighters (paladins and rangers included), cleric, thief and mage because that actually is (IMO) the perfect party.

However, when you finish the game and when you decide to play from the start, you might want to try some other combinations. For example playing without a mage or a thief at all or even soloing.

Any party with me in would be perfect

lol. Failing that...

2 tanks...
1 cleric/tank.
1 thief.
1 cleric.
1 mage.

That will cover just about everything.

Forget perfect parties. I like imperfect parties. Makes it more interesting. I'm playing through for the first time with no mage and no straight-up fighter in my party. ranger/ranger/ranger/thief/fighter-druid/cleric. I just finished mopping up Balduran's island, and am back on the mainland again. I haven't finished Durlag's Tower yet, but I did take out the warders after a couple of tries fighting them out in the open (no cheesy tactics). I wanted my thief to improve her traps skill before I went through the rest of it, that's why I haven't finished it yet. I use my druid and cleric to minimize the effects of magic in the big battles, and always attack the mages first. That seems to work best.

In BG1:
1 Primary Tank
2 or 3 Backup Tanks
1 Cleric (or at least half a Cleric)
1.5 Thieves
1 Wizard, but not added until halfway through the game.

In BG2:
1 Primary Tank
2 or 3 Backup Tanks
Half a Cleric, or a full Cleric
Half a Druid
Half a Thief
2 full Wizards

As far as BG goes? There's no such thing as the perfect party. If you know what to do with your group, they are effectively your best party.
