Description

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.

Features include:

  • One of the biggest RPGs with over 50 hours of gameplay
  • A large variety of weapons and spells for your character
  • A living world where people go to work, sleep, eat and fight to survive

Euro Style Jank, great if you like that.

Gothic came out at a very strange time. A year before Morrowind, but after Half-Life. Games don't develop in a vacuum, even though East Europe certainly is it's own moon. This game is best described as Ultima Underworld but without oblique references to the Avatar/Good King British. You get tossed into a magic prison pit and it's up to your own guile/wit to break out. Unfortunately, the game is less than cooperative in this manner, owing to design and interface choices that feel alien to the modern gamer. Perhaps owing to a poor localization & translation, a lot of the information that one would think the PC would be able to intuit such as swinging a sword properly is instead left up to the player to firstly discover and then spec into. And in the swing of Barbarian vs Wizard, it would appear that neither really fits, but you are ultimately corralled into one vs the other. It's just a very dated way of doing things, and one that by 2001, had been largely left by the wayside in favor of either having your character naturally know what they would from the start, or having guided levels.
