Not alone there. Every single NPC in Ps:T has about more character and backstory then all Baldur's Gate characters together. In truth, is there was anything I think they could've done better in BG, it was just the characters. Way too many goody-two-shoes, all females are casters 'n males are warriors, too few dialogues and interaction with the characters...

I never got the feeling I had from Ps:T, where the characters are real characters with thought and feeling, but rather that they were my puppets who did whatever I told them to. Heck, even the FF-series and many other games I've played outclassed BG character-wise... sadly enough.

If you fancy living characters, Lady Dragonfly, go check out Planesecape: Torment. Five minutes with Morte would be enough to convince you.
