I recommend it.  The second one is one of my favourite games.

If you haven't played Planescape: Torment, however, we cannot be friends.

What if we played the first bit of it and then got bored?

Then you should give it another try, since that's exactly what happened to me my first playthrough!

I was 6 when it came out and now it just looks sooooooooo old. Kind of like people do when they reach thirty. XD

It's a fine wine I'm sure!  (I haven't played it in several years myself.  Last go was probably around 2007 or 2008).

It will look dated, yes.  But the writing and characters are timeless IMO.

So what you're telling me is that it would really be okay to play BG2 without having played BG,,,?!  I...
okay, it's not easy for me, but maybe I'll just give it a try this
weekend. I mean, what the hell, you only live once, right...!?

It is.  I actually don't know if I have ever actually beaten BG1 (I have seen the end, but I cannot remember if it was just because I saw it happen, or if I actually played it), though I did play the first quite a bit and was able to reach the expansion experience cap.

BG2 is a pretty capable stand alone game.

Frankly though, if you didn't care for Baldur's Gate I don't see you
enjoying the sequel, outside of some more substantial side quests,
slightly more in-depth party interaction and some minor mechanical
refinements it's the same game.

I disagree.  There's enough difference in the focus of the game that I find the second to be a markedly improved product, in more than just the side quests.

Party interaction is not "slightly more in-depth," but rather full fledged conversations and development rather than mostly passive followers that may chime in from time to time.  By today's standards they might not be too impressive, but it helped set the stage for that depth of conversation.

It's a much more focused story, with less focus on "open world" style of elements.  I consider this a strength (though I can understand that some may not).  BG2 was a game I was able to playthrough multiple times, even in the same way as a previous playthrough, while BG1 was not.

I don't know if I ever actually completed the game. I'd lean to say "no" since I think I'd have a clearer memory of it if I did.

I did play it a lot (mostly as an MP campaign) and even imported my Paladin into the the second one, but I don't know if I actually defeated Sarevok.
