War has been waged across the kingdom of Myrtana. Orcish hordes invaded human territory and the king of the land needed a lot of ore to forge enough weapons, should his army stand against this threat. Whoever breaks the law in these darkest of times is sentenced to serve in the giant penal colony of Khorinis, mining the so much needed ore.
The whole area, dubbed "the Colony", is surrounded by a magical barrier, a sphere two kilometers diameter, sealing off the penal colony from the outside world. The barrier can be passed from the outside in – but once inside, nobody can escape. The barrier was a double-edged sword - soon the prisoners took the opportunity and started a revolt. The Colony became divided into three rivaling factions and the king was forced to negotiate for his ore, not just demand it.
You are thrown through the barrier into this prison. With your back against the wall, you have to survive and form volatile alliances until you can finally escape.

Great Game for its Time
Exactly that, now a more up to day experience would be to play Dragon Age Inquisition and I won't say Witcher 3 because they are wildy different and it would be like comparing it with a game from the Assassins Creed series. btw Diego's voice you can find it in Vasimir's in Witcher 3

Gothic
An all time favorite for me. For its time this game was damn good. Happy to see others finally enjoying this game. I was part of the World of Gothic and we helped with the community patches and other things. Gothic 1 and 2 are must play games. Controls are clunky but that's how things were in those days.

The realistic fictitious world of Gothic
Imagine a medieval realm in which a king detains power and there is a war, a great war versus tremendouos beasts. Everything is allowed and so the ruler can use the criminals as slaves and imprison them into a colony-mine where they should gather magical ore resources. Now you're in a jail and you do not know anything but the fact you must survive. Explore the land, cook, learn how to become a warrior or definitely approach magic: no one is a free friend, quid pro quo is the main rule. At the beginning nothing is easy as in the real world but after some hours in the medieval fantasy realm you'll be able to master each movement and skill. Forget about free travel: you may visit only some quarter and the access to the others will be acheieved only with experience. The desire for freedom is arising but who and what is that Sleeper whom everybody is talking about?
