The only real problem i ever had with a Bioware game was BG1 because not all the companion were as not valuable as each other regardless of what character your pc was. You could almost asign them a report card grade based on their class value.
Wizards: A
Others: D-
That's usually how I constructed a BG party.
In tabletop it was house rules that created that problem. Without house rules the vast majority to wizards would never live to see level 3.Moogliepie wrote...
Well that was AD&D 2e for you. I used to tabletop roleplay, and wizards would always be ridiculously overpowerd past level 12, that all other party members would become useless, unless there were some heavy handed house rules.

It's a problem in CRPG D&D because of reloading.
That's certainly true. I recall a tabletop party consisting of three specialist wizards and a bard.Moogliepie wrote...
Oh I get that, and at later levels the roles get reversed. 2e just didn't fit the concept of the balanced party that we have today. Even though, I recall the books actually saying an ideal party was of 5 or 6 players of varying classes, it never worked out that way.

Candlekeep in BG1, Irenicus Dungeon from BG2, Citadel in ME1, and Ostagar from DA:O are all prime examples of this, the area where you are FORCED to go right after the intro plays, and you start your quest, which never changes, offers you very little in the way of character development, and is usually way to long for its own good. More often then not, these areas can take a person anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, during which time you have to go through the exact same cutscenes, conversations, and god knows what else that you just had to go through on your other 2-3 characters.

Unfortunately, there's no real way around this in a linear narrative.
