At the moment, I like BG2 better.

But, when I compare the fun of BG1 the first time through to the fun of BG2 the first time through, BG1 wins. It had so many places to explore, and quests to do. BG2, while good, couldn't compare to the time I had playing BG1. Of course, this is probably because BG1 was the first RPG I had ever played, and BG2 wasn't too different in many respects, so it wasn't exactly a new experience. I like both games, but I'm finding it extremely difficult to 'get back into' BG1. The characters are too slow, the sprites too big, it just seems too annoying, for the moment, anyway. I'll give it a serious go someday.

I seem to miss a lot of the fun of the game by playing with BG2 exportation in mind, thinking things like 'grab all the tomes, get the golden pantaloons, then win the game and get to BG2'.
