Hey, this game is very enjoyable on the long run. Especially so, since you can exploit it to your advantage without console commands, hacks, editors and cheats! You can begin by setting the difficulty to the Heart of fury, and beat repeatedly the scarabs of the first tavern's cellar, taking care not to find yourself directly in front of their pincers. This way you can get a nice, considerable boost, to start your adventure in a pretty good shape in any class. (i myself made all of my characters level 7 before traveling to Kuldahar).
Also, since the single player mode is treated very similar to multiplayer one, you can use cheesy tactics like item duplication, stash-characters for importing-in, selling stuff and making you stinking rich, and so on. Or kill a npc who owns an item you want to get (and cannot be obtained by pick-pocketing), export your character, load game before the kill and import character and have both decent reputation/npc alive and needed item, all in one go.
Now the most cheesy part, is that if you have a multiclassed character, experience cap applies to each class separately and individually; which means you can get both classes to maximum! It is a good thing having multiclassed characters, because other races get pretty bonuses to many things (like elves resistance against sleep/charm etc.).
Unlike Baldur's Gate, a neutral alignment cleric will NOT get all spells, both those exclusive to good or evil alignment. Avoid having a cleric with Lawful alignments, because there is a certain spell (don't remember its name, there might be more...) that is unobtainable to lawfuls (lawfools, lol!). And finally, a ranger/cleric will get both cleric and druid spells, but is going to miss the 7 level druid ones entirely. Still, as cheesy as ever, but make sure he is not of the lawful good alignment, neutral or chaotic (good) will do.
