I started playing this and realized it was playing very sequel heavy. I quit and played Gothic I. Playing Gothic I first was the right decision. This is a great sequel, unfortunately the first few seconds of G2 was filled with spoilers for G1. Do yourself a favor and play G1 first. Warning: some assembly required, you will want to learn how to optimize the game with current player patches and some ini. file changes. It's a PITA but well worth it, and results in nearly modern graphics that run with modest requirements.
