BG I is definatly worth it. The difference though with NPCs in BG II is the amazing depth. The character interactions, backstories and romances are all much deeper (well in the case of romances there was none in BG I).

So from a tactical standpoint you have less choices in BG II but from a roleplaying perspective its alot more enjoyable to see your npcs horse around with each other (or get mad at each other hehe)

BG1 has more NPCs but most of all have horrible stats. Among them, there are few who are really worth having.

There is also some NPCs who work in pairs and it's a pain in the *** having to choose one and get rid of the another member of the pair.

*minor spoilers*

I'm currently replaying BG1 myself...though not entirely by choice (I just moved and I accidentally put BG2 in a box that I won't be getting for another month or so). It doesn't have the same depth, but it's still pretty interesting. Right now (while I eagerly await the arrival of BG2), I'm playing some characters that I'm going to import into BG2. I have a mage that I'm going to kit into a wild mage, a cleric that I'll dual into a mage, and I might also do some kind of ranger/cleric setup. There are also some benefits to using an imported character. For example, there are books in BG1 that boost your stats permanently, so instead of working with having a total of 85-90 points to put into ability scores, you're working with 91-96 pts.
