How many chars in a full party? Are they PCs or also NPCs? What
races/classes (multi?) can you pick & can you round out a party with a
cross-section of most of the good ones in one game? (I'm unlikely to have
the attention span to finish most rpgs once these days given my RL
commitments, much less twice or more ;).

I'm currently playing slowly through BG2:ToB. Apart from a different combat
system, game mechanics & the whole 3D wank, what other compelling reason
would I have to play Drakensang instead? (I know, it's a loaded question :)
