What I like about BG2 is that you're not just roaming around (like you were often in BG1) but have a reason to go to the areas you visit.
Before you know where Trademeet is you can't go there but once you need to it will be on your map. Many BG1 areas were like the three additional areas you get after exiting the Underdark, pointless with only some random encounters and one tiny mini-quest (Coran, Safana).
I don't like that. I like to know where I go and WHY.
