Gothic

The best non mainstream open world RPG.

I bought it for money and noone is caring about the fact that it is not able to run on current hardware. It is still sold for 20 bucks and for this money noone should be forced to look for solutions only, made by people in their spare time. Don't pay money for it, unless this game works out of the box (what is the least to be expected when paying money for a product).

Tried to run after install, nothing. So then tried to verify and system hung on 94% had to reset computer. Attempted again and eventually did verify to 100 % but still doesn't run. Read about some players patch that solves this, downloaded and it does start the game somewhere in the background according to task manager, everywhere except on your screen. Gave job up as a bad do, uninstalled. At least it was in sale really cheap as if i'd paid £9 i'd be narked to put it politely.

In Gothic 1 you are useless walking bag of meat, disrespected, despised, you are worthless worm, every living creature including the humans in the 'home' area wants you dead, sometimes just for a laugh. And this can be changed through hardwork. The feeling alone when you overcome all the odds to be the hero is so fulfilling, never felt that in a game for years! And the true challenge you need to work through is patching the game until it works! It's worth it. If you want a 'similar' experience to Gothic skip the Witcher and play Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Thulis ist what Games are made for! You can feel the programmers' passion while playing.
