Welcome!
I highly recommend playing BG1 first and taking this character into BG2. This is both for technical reasons (BG2 is more sophisticated) and for role-play reasons. If you are familiar with the AD&D rules, it should be easy to decide on a character that you would want to take from 1st level through 20+ (with all expansions including the upcoming one). If not, then create several characters and experiment.
Some people settle on the party NPCs very early to take control over their development, but you may want to "meet people" before deciding on a final makeup. Some of the NPCs (but not all) who can join the party are the same in both games. I will not spoil it for you, but check the NPC section of the BG2 manual. If you see a familiar name (the portraits change) in your BG1 travels, you might want to travel with these individuals (at least for a while). In BG2 it assumed that you know these people and this adds to the sense that you do.
