What is the most regrettable decision have you ever done in BGII:EE?

Surely some of you might've done something you later on regret and you can't reload because you just overwritten your save. (or you just forgot to save) If anyone's wondering, I have done anything I regret, yet...

One thing I always regret is stopping a playthrough and promising myself I'll come back to it later. I never do, I just roll a new CHARNAME. I have lost so many CHARNAMEs after coming back from the underdark. That's the point burnout normally sets in for me.
I remember one playthrough where I was still very new to the game and I used the wand of wonder on Firekraag, it turned him to stone and he shattered, I was all like "cool battle done, that's a lot of exp
Playing through BG1 without the NPC project, I can't believe I actually managed to do that.
For years thinking Haer'Dalis was useless and a wasted slot, when in fact I was the one who was useless at BG.
Oh here's another one, every time I ever played BG mutliplayer with my friends. The fights this game can start, pause rights are huge problem. One time I actually threw a friend out of house because he put a helmet on Viconia.
Avoiding the dwarf race for many years simply because I didn't fancy them, well I recently changed my mind^^
Edit: Oops! That's BGEE.
In BG2EE? Probably walking (rather unwittingly) into The Twisted Rune in Chapter 2.
I wasted 5 years of my life not playing BG.
Oh and I killed Aerie, Dorn, Nalia, I didn't do anything to save Viconia and I sided with Bodhi that pretty much sums it all up.
And everyone's probably gonna hate me but I may or may not killed Neera, too.
WORTH IT!
AM I A SAVAGE YET? 'CAUSE IF NOT THEN IT'S NOT WORTH IT!
- sacrificing Aerie to summon Ur-Gothoz
- assassinating Imoen (cuz there can be only one Bhaalspawn)
- murdering entire Amkethran
- killing Jaheira
- letting Viconia die in Trial of Selfishness.
From gameplay point of view: dualing Sarevok to mage. Now I know for sure that it's not worth the effort.
But seriously - cuz I intended to be as bad as possible.
Also, I can't stick to my alignment goals. Everyone turns out "better" than intended. I start with a chaotic neutral guy who is supposed to be crazy in BG:EE. I start with a real crazy psycho who's a murderhobo for exp. It doesn't matter. At some point in BG2:EE they always drift to goodness and I play the hero yet again. It's simply better to play nice.
I was obsessed with my characters attribute numbers at the time, and felt like 12 and dropping it down to 11 was looking bad. So I wanted to restart the game and give one of the wis-tomes to another party member. I know that wisdom is supposedly important for a monk (though unimplemented), but it wasn't as important as having a round number like '10' in the end.
I really, really don't do this kind of madness anymore. Now I obsess over meticulously planning out each character so that can't happen.
- realizing several hours into a game that your stats are too low to dual class how you intended
- realizing that you miscalculated what level your second class will be when you reach the XP cap in BG1
..and things of that nature. The second one usually makes the final battle with Sarevok disappointing, as charname will be a weakass [insert second dual class] hiding behind his friends for help
