Proof that I’m a fake gamer, I’ve only listened to video essays about the original

Oh sick, how does it hold up nowadays?

Its satisfactory. Faerun isnt my favourite setting and all. And they throw like a billion companions at you and you aren't sure who to keep around at all, for story's sake (well except for you know who). I mean it definitely feels like an old game and the writing isnt mind-blowing (like record of lodoss war, it produced various batches of tropes), but I have been enjoying it so far. Oh and I die a lot, so there is a risk in every encounter, since I play with companions can actually die mode on.

If you value games for their contributions to media art history, then you should undoubtedly try it!
