I've never played Aliens: Colonial Marines but I know its a product not worthy of the name. I think me and purpleblob feel the same on this.That's an interesting opinion considering you've never played it.

Will pass that.

You should not. It is still better than most other RPGs.
I enjoyed Siege. I thought the writing was fine. It's a bit linear but the areas are interesting and the combat encounters etc are generally well done. My main complaint was that the overall story felt too epic given it was just meant to explain the gap between BG and BGII - I wish they'd made it smaller and more personal to be honest. Whilst I had a good time with it, when I next do a BG playthrough I'll probably skip it and go straight to BGII.
I wouldn't skip it personally, it's a part of the series now. But I also enjoy it and BG1 way more than BG2. That said, it was a bit too epic, they dipped too deep into the bestiary and some of the encounters were too epic as well. That was my biggest issue with it, but overall it's a solid 8/10 from me.

@Pongo; - Iirc, even if you do everything there is to in SoD, it results in your party being about 2 levels higher. It makes Irenicus' dungeon easier, but that was pretty easy anyways. It shouldn't have a big impact on the rest of the game.
Plus you could always use Gatekeeper to edit your savegame if you want.
