No. I've been playing them for about 8 years now. I recommend watching some let's plays before you spend money on them. BG1 is slower paced and not as good as BG2, but it's still fantastic in its own right. I've tried to get people into them in the past and some liked them, some hated them, so I'd research them before purchase. If you like slower paced rpgs that require you to save early and often (seriously, save frequently. The game can be brutal) and have an interest in D&D, then you'd probably like them.
Edit: If you do decide to try them, I would suggest for a new player to buy the Enhanced Editions. They come with a lot of quality-of-life features that the originals didn't have, and are generally easier to get running, more stable, etc.
