I'd say the BG games are more comparable to Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity series than the Divinity games. Both BG1 and BG2 place amongst my favorite games ever, and you should definitely give them a try. As others have pointed, they are classics for a reason. I don't recommend skipping BG1- you miss a lot of the story and characterization that BG2 builds upon. Yes, BG2 is better. Bioware hadn't yet grown into their skill at building relationships when BG1 was made. But, if it bothers you that much, and you don't care about playing vanilla your first time, there are some wonderful mods that add to the story and characters, yet stick to the original spirit of the game. Like the BG1 NPC Project .
