I found the expansion to BG2 to be a bit of a slog. very linear and combat focused. Having said that there are lots of interesting new goodies to make.
I've just restarted BG1 and the main problem I have is the low resolution - 640x400 I think, which looks painful on a 19" monitor and that the combat doesn't pause when you go to your inventory. BG2 is just a more refined product but I still think BG1 is worth playing. I found the expansion pack TOTSC much more interesting than Throne of Bhaal.
For BG2 characters its worth playing through again with different ones as it opens different quests and different relationships. The NPCs in BG1 always felt a bit lacking.
