Don't tell you never minmaxed your chars in BG2 ;p Why your barbarian would need intelligence? He just need 18/00
Surf:
Last time I played Baldurs Gate II, I played a bard, no warrior. Don't recall any minmaxing, just put points where I thought it could help me later. Was bored to death by it however, so I don't know all the games secrets which unravel after you finished the game and get more experience playing it.
Bringing BGII as "the" example for RPGs is a fail anyway. :P
JovankaB:
I think generally in RPGs where you lead a party of characters minimaxing is recommended, because every character can specialize in other task. In games like Fallout where you play only one character not necessarily (or at least it's harder). In FOnline it is recommended, because in FOnline you have a party ...of alts. But then again, FOnline isn't RPG, it's a 2D team shooter.

Thats because you have nothing vested in the game, the interest isn't there. If you are competitive at all at any game that is stat dependent then you have min maxed. Any in-depth rpg/class/stat based game is geared toward specialization of a job in order to do do the job with maximum efficiency.
JovankaB:
What does it mean to be competitive in a single player game anyway? Finishing a game on minimaxed characters is the easiest way to do it, how is it competitive? For teh score? It's ok, if you play it the first or second time... But when you know the mechanics, you may want to put some RP constraints on your character, to make the game more challenging. Play a vegetarian, atheist, kleptomaniac, misogynist or whatever the mechanics / story allows. If all you do with RPGs is finish it with all spells, bestest weapons and I HAVE MAXED STATS I KILL ALL MUAHAH, then you miss some point of the genre IMHO.
