Are 3 Mages Too Much?

As the title says.
My party consists of:
Me (Generalist Mage)
Kagain
Edwin
Xzar
Montaron
Viconia

 

I'd say it depends on you. I only had two the first time I played the game. I took a party of all the mages through once. When you have two characters that go together, I just sent the one I didn't want on ahead into a battle first to get rid of him. It was pretty fun. I don't remember having any difficulties either.
In answer to your question, I'd say sure, go for it. Just as long as you have fun doing it.

 

Might be fun, but I think fighters are much better than mages in this game. I suggest you swich those mages to clerics and/or fighters.

 

In BG1 I think so. It will be a while until they can dish out some damage. You need to get all the way to level 5 before you can cast fireball, summon monster and such. But when you arrive it might be fun. No limit to summon in BG1...

 

It's an interesting idea, and would probably give you different style of the game, stretching the lifespan of the game . Go for it and let us know how you get on with it

 

Well, only problem I forsee is the lack of another strong fighter. You can never have enough mages, though. I suggest a dual class fighter/mage, or multi, but they're a bit weaker. Dual Class is preferable in BG1 since you'll get more hitpoints, can have weapon mastery, and you can pick a Specialist.

But by all means, you can complete the game with whatever party you want, just easier with some strong fighters to tank for the mages while they unleash hell .

 

First time I beat BG1, my party only had one mage (Xan). To tell you the truth, I probably could've got through the game just fine without him, It's just that I usually have one spellcaster in any RPG party.
In BG1, unlike IWD or BG2, Mages aren't as important. Of course that's my opinion, but I didn't *need* a mage or wizard at any point.
