Up to you really, compares to how deep down the rabbit hole you are aiming for. You can get a vast majority of the game by itself, but you will not notice the return cameo's and you won't get the history behind Red Hood (who is actually from an earlier game than BS1, the longest running character of the game creator and is the closest thing to the main heroine of BS2) and a certain faction in the game who played a much larger role in BS1 and may seemingly come out of left field without that context in the endings. Finally, the main villain from BS1 will be massively spoiled if you play this one first.Do you need to play the First one to play this one?
