Since you've never played them, you should do yourself a favor and play BG 1&2 before BG 3 releases. You'll thank me later.
I own old and new EE versions of BG1 and BG2 and I have tried few times to get into them but for some reason stopped. Partly its the "older" graphics and partly its the older D&D rules I am not big fan of.
My first exposure to D&D is with NWN/KOTOR and I think its ruleset 3.5 (??) and really like this ruleset and found it very hard to unlearn this and pick up the older ruleset. The first thing which annoyed me is how AC worked!
But I guess I will have to try it once again as I want the full "BG experience" when BG3 comes out so that will mean playing the older games to understand the references and history of the games.
