It happens all the time: After starting and restarting a dozen times, I pick a class, dig deep into it, then start to lose interest in it, and in the game.
I have finished BG1, TotSC and SoA, but never ToB, and I want despertly to finish the whole triology and see the (true) ending.
This time I was playing with a wild mage (never played as a mage before), and was having a good time fireballing everything in sight, but now I'm at that point where I can return to Baldur's Gate and confront Sarevok, or I can go to Durlag's Tower and the Werewolf island and do that, but to be honest, I'm not really into my character… and I'm thinking that if I'm losing interest in BG1, I will never finish SoA, nevermind ToB!
Here I turn to you, fellow players: How do you find the motivation to take a character through the whole saga? What characters and companions keep your interest? Do you prefer to solo through the whole thing or take as many party members as you can, to see the interactions? Do you explore and roleplay, or just speed through the main quests?

Good question. If I'm losing interest, what I usually do is something else, e.g., play some other game for a while. Eventually, I hunger for Baldur's Gate again and come back to my run I had and make some good progress. Also, I will often skip things for the sake of time, e..g, I rarely do all the quests/battles in the City of Baldur's Gate.
If you burn out on party play, solo definitely spices things up a bit, and at the very least, solo for BG 1 can finish the game much faster, since once at the level cap you can skip a great many encounters.

Take a break from BG...or computer games in general - does wonders for you. Come back when you feel like it, expand your game with some quality mods (NPC as well), and you'll have a blast.

Thank you for the answers! What actually happens is that I'm immerse in the game for a week, have to take a break from it (due to work or something else), then when I come back to it I no longer care to what I was doing.
I think I'll try something completely different, something I never did before, like an Evil play-through and skipping most of the side quests. Perhaps not doing every menial quest that comes my way (like getting Hull's sword… that ingrate. You do a guy a favor and you get called a twerp? Bastard) will make the game go by faster and smoother.

If you want a fresh challenge you could try different tactical challenges, e.g. completing the game without receiving any experience or completing without using any items. A speed run where you try and progress as fast as possible in real time also gives you quite a different feel from the normal game.
