I played BGI before BGII was released. I only bought it a couple of months before BGII (I found it on DVD in the budget section and thought that would be worth a try). I was hooked from the moment I got it. I probably wouldn't have bought BGII if I hadn't already been addicted to BGI. I also had IWD before BGII.
