Probably being necrotic, but someone mentioned the BG1&2 was six characters and I'd forgotten that. It probably helps explain why four wasn't enough in my mind. That, and, perhaps, my own D&D experiences from 30-40 years ago where six people plus a DM gave me the most fun. It is probably safe to write this now, but perhaps the most frustrating thing for an original BG player was having to shoehorn two lovable characters from them into a party of four. I mean, who do people leave out? What are they missing out on if they don't?
