Spartacii,
I would not worry too much about choosing your first character class ... just pick the one you prefer.
Larian offered many companions and hirelings to complement you, no matter what you choose...and also respec option for you to change characters without needing to start over.
besides, Baldur´s Gate became such an amazing game in terms of paths, different outcomes and companions,
that no matter what you choose for your first path, soon youtube will be full of videos showing many other possible paths.
Ignore the pressure to find the best possible path...to min/max all your choices and characters.
I mean, you will not be fired as a gamer if you do not finish the game with the best combats, or best dialogues, etc.
I share with you a personal goal in the first run - not much to excel in combat...not at all..
but to reach Baldur´s gate city with many cool stories to complete.
This seems like a cool role-playing challenge so to speak...to explore BG3´s subplots towards the big city along the way.
(maybe because I do live in a big city
...I know how it feels..)
