Question about multi classing and exp cap

Hi Im planning to play through the baldurs gate series soon after I finish icewind dale ee and I wanted to play a fighter/thief or thief/Mage but I know that the max level for multi classed characters is significantly lower than single class. I was wondering if by the time I got Soa and Tob I would reach the level cap too early? Also I've played a thief/Mage before and I really enjoyed it but I'm hesitant to play fighter/thief because I feel that i would just pretty much backstab and then auto attack for every fight, so does the fighter/thief have a lack of variety that would become very repetitive and boring by the time I got to Soa?

What changes is how that's distributed - the points are evenly shared out between the classes in a multi, which means you will be some levels behind your single class counterparts. How many levels depends on what class you are - eg thieves level very quickly - but it shouldn't be very many, as the XP required per level scales for most of the game.
I don't find fighter/thieves particularly boring myself, but they clearly don't require the sort of management that a mage or cleric does. How much of a problem that is depends very much on your playstyle and preferences. There are a few powers your lead character gets that you can use, lots of items that you can activate, and later on a full set of High Level Abilities to choose from.
