BG2 is a must have! it has raised the bar for RPG games and is the standard to which all other rpgs will be measured for some time. While the graphics might not be up to the level of PoR2 this is a non issue to me. The character interactive and the involved quests and subplots are simply amazing. From a pure value perspective the game is enormous and has a high replay value. Most people on these forums have played it through several times.
BG 1 was superb but BG2 has so many things over the first game. first off you are not wandering around the wilderness encountering random fights. You have many sidequests you can pick up which are much much more enganging than pure wandering. Also from the main storyline point of view you don't feel as much like you are being herded in 1 direction. Overall this gives the game a much better feel to it. To a large degree you can play it how you want to play it.
