Very much agree with you!

D1's version is presented and behaves like an actual deity while the D2 version just seems like a whiney emo to me.

I've often heard that so many of the players seem to mistake the Outsider as a "Trickster God" but truthfully I never got that vibe from the D1 version of him. He's austere, mysterious, and so far above mankind that he just doesn't care that much, "You're on your way to face the High Overseer, the leader of a great cult dedicated to loathing me. What will you do, I wonder?"

He says it so matter-of-factly and you can just hear the audio shrug of "meh".

D2's Outsider, however, is presented much more as a Trickster God with his "Delilah's playing the long game. She took all the abuse the world could deal out, and now she has a crown. But I'll let you in on a secret; she's got her eyes set on a much greater prize."

It's said almost with a sort of "Giggle, I know something you don't know."

D1 Outsider just told you how it was and that was that letting you make your own choices. D2's Outsider came across as sneaky and secretive and rather childishly annoying.
