The mechanics are old, very old, but sound and I know of no other RPG that has such a visible progression system. The protagonist does not simply learn new skills and magic with lp investment, but also visibly changes combat and even general movement given the proper skill points in weapon fighting, strength, dexterity etc..
   
   Never again in any other game (except maybe the newer PB games, Elex..) have I started so close to the actual skill level of the majority of gamers in front of the screen (getting beating up just wanting to enter a bar and anywhere anytime.. ) and ended so overpowered..
   The graphics can be updated, I discovered several modding projects and choose to play with the new DX11 renderer and the large overhaul mod Returning.. Beyond nostalgia, it's looking fresh again and so modded, even provides a newer and thrilling gaming experience in 2020, while still keeping the old charme..… Expand

   Strange thing is: This game had a user rating of about 8.8- 9.2 some months ago!

   Looks like all of the negative scores don't have any reviews, so I'll be brave and post the first one. Only tried the game out recently andLooks like all of the negative scores don't have any reviews, so I'll be brave and post the first one. Only tried the game out recently and was hoping it'd be an improvement over the first Gothic. As a matter of fact, there were some improvements. The controls are a bit better now and aren't as tricky as in the first game. Also the story carries on from the first right away and I generally thought that the music and the atmosphere were as good as in the first one. However, nothing else had improved. In fact, in terms of pacing it got even worse. Much worse. Now you're thrust right into a huge city without any direction as to what to do. Or in fact, you are told to go and do x, y, and z. However, when you try to find out how to get those tasks done, the game just shrugs and tells you to find it out by yourself. Now this is incredibly boring. Do I have to go around and talk to every NPC in the city in a hope that at least one of them can tell me something useful? I understand open gameplay and all, but it still needs some direction. If the game isn't going to bother to captivate and immerse me, then why should I continue to plough on, hoping that eventually it would get interesting? It's just incredibly slow paced. If you are someone who wants to get right into the game and do interesting stuff, then I'd avoid Gothic 2 for sure. Now I've still got Gothic 3 left. I'm just hoping at least that would be an improvement over 1 and 2.… Expand
