[Stroggy]

Yesterday myb rother, knowing how much I appreciate older games, bought me Baldurs Gate I and II.
So now I have a question: Is it possible to play Baldurs Gate II without finishing the first one (plot-wise) and which one is better.
The reason I ask is because I remember getting rather far in the original Baldurs Gate (before my brother gave the game to some jolly fellow who never gave it back and moved to the US) and I'm not really all too eager to play everything again. So is the second one better, and do I have to finish the first game to understand the sequel?
