Gothic 2 Gold Edition

Gothic II is my favorite game. It is filled with great and innovative ideas, partly taken from its predecessor, that still make this game stand out from any RPG that has been released today. The quest-chains for the main quest are some of the best laid ones out I know, the world is built with so much care and attention to detail (for 2002). The fighting system is still not the strong suit of this game, but it has been overhauled from the the previous Gothic and playes a lot smoother and more intuitive. In general the controls are finally so, that you can play the basics without looking into a manual (but you should still. Just... trust me). Gothic II is one of those things to me that are so hard to describe with words that I will stop trying here now. Go to YouTube and look at footage of it, and if you think you can tolerate the graphics and animations, then you will probably have a great time with this game.

Can't play in Win 10.

this game and its predececor are truly the gothics gothic 3 was a good game but bad for a gothic game it took out all the awesome elements from gothic 1&2 so dont miss out GET THIS GAME

I was captivated by the Gothic world . Gotic 2 is the best of the 3 Gothics, well balanced nice texture nice costumes characters and buildings Story play interesting I consider better than gothic 3 because of "pos atomic decor " of the ruins in Gothic 3 I accorde maximum rating

I grew up on games like Morrowind and other such Western-RPGs and this game takes the cake. I haven't had this much fun with an RPG since Morrowind. You can become a blacksmith and play as a trader paying his way through is problems or play as a hardened Merc and make your money through less honest means. My only true issue is the combat which is a little unwieldy. If you want to enjoy this game, make sure to disable Gothic 1 controls in the options menu because otherwise it seems like you have to be moving to attack.
