Well, theoretically, you'll be playing BG1 with the BG2-engine. So npc-speed will be increased (one of the more annoying aspects of the original BG1-game), and you'll be able to play all of the special BG2-kits and the Barbarian, Sorcerer and Monk classes from level 1 on. You'll get experience for memorizing scrolls and lockpicking, and some BG2-only standard weapons - like Katana's - will be available in BG1 as well. It's more of an engine update than really a new game (though I'm still curious how the part between Tales of the Sword Coast and BG2 is dealt with
).
