but the character interaction of BG2 wins it for me
if BG1 had the character depth of BG2 id probably prefer BG1
Hm, well for roleplayers like me, the lack of depth is vague and enticing, and leaves a lot to my imagination. I like filling things in, so I don't know, I guess the BG1 characters always felt deep to me because I made them deep?

Yeah, and especially when you open up roleplaying dimensions to the game (and I'm pleasantly surprised at what is possible there with a bit of creativity) I think BG1 lends itself better to that style of playing. That said, I have not yet tried BG2 in a roleplaying-intensive mode via a journaling and dice rolls ( a la this style of play). I should think, though, that BG1, being much less linear, might lend itself a little better to this style.
