What's a fun party for NWN?

[Wolfix]

Me and a friend of mine have been playing Neverwinter Nights a couple of times now, always at his home over a lan connection, and each time we played it for hours and hours. It's a lot of fun, we're both around level 11 now, I'm the tanking barbarian and he's the evoker wizard, and we're doing well.

Now we've got 2 more friends who are interested after hearing our stories, and they'd like to join us. Now we can't play over internet (2 players have very laggy connections) so we decided to just plan a weekend where we'd bring our computers over and just play over lan as me and my friend had done before.

We'd be playing with 1 or both expansions probably, and start out at level 1. And here I come to my question: do you have advice on what classes to choose?

I have the feeling it won't matter a great deal even if we were to all play sorcerers for example, but what would make a fun party? You know, where everyone feels they are doing well and are important. 1 of my friends already has his heart set on playing a wizard again, but the other 2 (and me) don't know yet. Is the d&d iconic party a cool idea? You know, the fighter-rogue-cleric-wizard thing. Anybody have any experience with this?

One guy should be a Bard8 -> Arcane Archer3, the other one a Barb4/Sorc1/Red Dragon Disciple 6.

Or one guy should be a Rogue/Fighter and the other a Rogue/Barbarian.

Or one guy should be a Ranger5->Assassin6 and the other guy a Bard4->Pale Master7.

Or one guy should be a Bard11 and the other guy a Cleric11.

Or ...

(Any darn party is fun in NWN! Traps & locks can be handled by spells, especially Cleric spells.)

I'll move this into the NWN forum.

(Heh, sorry bout that, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the availible forums )

Really? I always thought it required some planning to create a working party in d&d, but I must admit most of that thinking comes from the number of threads created by people who's character is too underpowered compared to the rest of the party (again, in d&d). I haven't had much party experience yet, in d&d or nwn.

But if what you say is true about nwn, that's good to know. The problem had me worrying a bit...
