Hello,
if you played BG1/TOSC, then you'd better pick-up BG2/TOB (its not exactly new anymore, so you can get them both at a discount)! Some people like BG1 better, but the consensus is BY FAR that BG2 is an even greater game!

The only problem might be: do I play IWD/HOW (Icewind +add-ons) or BG2/TOB (gotta get it with the expansion!) first? IWD is more linear. In IWD you create all of the party members: bad for the storyline, but awesome for getting exactly what you want! BG2 has you choose (you can completely get around this) real "characters" and is larger, but both are well done and a lot of fun. BG2 has a few more advanced features, so its hard to say which one to do first. You'd better hurry: IWD2 is coming, Neverwinter Nights are hear, and no one can play ALL of these.
