I'd start with one and import to 2 when you finish - but BG2 is a much cleaner game with smoother interfaces and smoother everything. It is far more polished. BG1 feels every bit like a 1990's game that was ported to tablet. BG2 feels like a 2000's game that was ported.

The difference isn't overwhelming, but it is noticeable and it feels a LOT better to play to me.

That said, the gameplay is very similar and the first BG is a fairly fun ride, so I would play it first and then get 2 and import your character into it if you want.

One good thing, if you decide you want to try a different character for #2, it isn't terribly disconcerting to start fresh. They give you the option to play as if you know nothing about what happened, or as if you are continuing from the other game.

I am curious about one thing - does Dyna start off dead in BG2 no matter what? Or did she get roasted in my final battle? I think she starts off dead and that is that - but I'm not clear why.
