Title
Just play Fallout 1 and 2; they aren't quite as dated and it's the same harrowing RPG experience. I will say that BGII is much better than the first game.

I'd recommend playing the remastered versions by Beamdog, even if there's still some weird-ass bugs and glitches present.

    the review that says fallout 1 and 2 are less dated than this is on crack. not saying they are bad games by any means, but i tried to play them recently for the first time and they were much, MUCH more clunky and arcane than BG

      100% agreed and i have a soft spot for FO2 over this if I had to force an answer. I'd also extend this to Planescape: Torment. BioWare was such a talented studio for nearly 25 years.
