I think you misunderstood. I am not interested in debating which one is better.


Fair enough. I am of those who prefer BG1 (and I know Im not alone) because of that sense of danger of being a new adventurer, with little ressource and always having to be careful (as demonstrated by Sven) and the fear that you can die at the hands of gibberlings. Everything you find, every bit of XP, that shiny new +1 weapon, the first time you get a plate armor, you know it counts. Thats what I loved about BG1, the beginning of a grand adventure. It looks like Larian is going for that and, from the looks of it, I think they will nail it.

And you start BG1 killing rats on Candlekeep. BG2, you start escaping a mad scientist dungeon.

On 2e, Necromancer specialized wizards only gets animate dead at lv 9. Invoker mages only get fireball at lv 5. I an not talking about wish/stop time/chain contingency/meteor swarm. I an talking about the signature low/mid level spell for those specialist mages. Nobody picks necromancer specialization on BG1, however, on BG2, a lot of people pick and IMO is the best specialization to solo on Legacy of Bhaal(EE only).
