I've talked about this before (here and neogaf). I think the best comparison I made once was saying that it'd be like deciding to watch the classic trilogy Star Wars movie series and starting with Empire Strikes Back.
No one would do that! It'd be stupid!
So why does it make any more sense to start the Baldur's Gate saga a third of the way through?
It doesn't, of course.
And Baldur's Gate 1 is a great, great game... BGII is a bit better, but BGI is a great, great game, and is absolutely the third best RPG ever, after only Torment and BGII.
