How much content do you think you missed?
I definitely tried to do everything I could, but there are lots of alternate paths I shut out by making other decisions. I played a mostly good, if not particularly pragmatic, custom character. From what I hear, playing as The Dark Urge and going more evil is basically an entirely different playthrough.
As such, I created a female Drow Dark Urge Bard last night to begin down that exact road some point soon (I still need a decompress).

Who was your MVP party member, aside from yourself?
PARTY RANKING
N/A: Minthara
I didn't realize she was a possible companion until I killed her and she had underwear. "whoops"
9. Gale
This dick right here. I managed to help everyone else overcome their trauma, but despite me feeding him useful items and being like "hey remember how much you sucked before maybe don't do that again" and "this is definitely a tainted weave" he was just "i'm sad you don't trust me" and became a god of ambition anyway. And unsurprisingly become worse. Bench warmer. Also I showed interest in the Weave one time and he wouldn't stop trying to fuck me. At least Halsin took the hint.
8. Halsin
He, too, really wanted to fuck me. But he took the let down a lot easier. I enjoyed the whole quest surrounding him and shadowlands but he never came off my bench once he actually joined the party. In fact, he was kidnapped for most of Act 3 and I was... okay with that and didn't even see him for like 80 hours. He gave me a wooden duck though, so that was cool.
7. Minsc
The only character I was slightly familiar with before the game, because of Mercs. Big dummy with a miniature giant space hammer. I used him to get the achievement for multiclassing into every class. That was about it.
6. Wyll
He's fine. But the party had only room for one Warlock, and lmao was my pact waaaaaaaay better. My Old God just gave me powers and sometimes gave me some boons (like in the creche machine) and they only really wanted to see how much shit I get myself into and watch. He eventually became the Blade of Avernus and broke his pact with Mizora, so he and Karlach ended up back in the hells, which I found cute. A little Batman and Robin duo slaying demons. Also he was mad at me for a while because I may have slept with Mizora. Worth it.
5. Karlach
This is the character I wish I had spent more time with the most. Every single word out of her mouth is great and she was a joy to have around. I prioritized fixing (but not really) her engine and gave her a hug when she cooled off, but she was like the beefy older sister of the group. I never really learned Barbarian though, so she didn't see much of the battlefield. And I was scared she would burn us all down again like after we first saved her. I convinced her not to just die and head back to the hells with compatriot Wyll to try and find a real solution to her engine. They seem to be making progress and having a blast while doing it, so I'm glad we got to that point.
4. Jaheira
Every word out of her mouth is also great, and we just shit talked the fuck out of each other. The first time I was a sarcastic prick to her and got the "Jaheira approves" prompt, I was sold. She's seen some things and it shows. Her kids are just like her, so there will be a whole new generation of sass. I took her around the city for a while, just to get her perspective on things, which was a huge honor for me
