Gothic

.

God knows how many hours I killed playing this game and I am still playing. I strongly recommend it!

Can't give more than 1 star to a game that wont load. I've tried all the patches and mods but nothing makes the game load.

I loved the freedom this RPG gave me, as well as the story: you start as no one, and nobody bets a dime on you, but you prove them wrong in the end. I decided to roam around and not follow the missions for a while, just messing around... and getting killed lots of times, ha ha ha. I also did some cool stuff, like making some orcs follow me into the Old Camp to kill some guards and get their loot (weapons and gold, babe, LOL). A downside might be the bugs: they increase as the game progresses, which can be frustrating. I have two backups to revert to a point in time where things worked fine. I suggest playing it with Union and G1CP, which is a community patch that fixes bugs (although I still encountered some annoying bugs). Another downside is the keyboard layout. You can delete keybindings by selecting them and pressing "SUPR" and then you can set up a more user-friendly configuration: Forward: W Backwards: S Turn left: A Turn right: D Strafe left: DELETE Strafe right: PAGE DOWN Weapons: Q Action: LEFT CTRL Jump/Side step: SPACE Run: LEFT SHIFT Speak: E Look around: R Look around first person: F Inventory: TAB Player’s status: C Missions and notes: M

Really graet atmosphere. I had issues with the game hanging on launch, but the hints from the gog support (e.g., installing the system pack) fixed that. That also enables using Gothic 2 controlls, which I find vastly supperior.
