The game is MERCIFULLY working... Although this crap has no voice neither gun sound and effects, just music. Another game that fails to work properly and no aid and support at all. I'm not gonna spend a single one more penny on this platform.
Although, there is no Polish version while this is one of the games (along with Gothic and Witcher for example) where Polish narrator was superior to English, which one sounds so boring. I can't enjoy this game anymore since this. Fortunatelly I've retrieved my old CDs and apparently I have to protect them like my own balls.
Gothic 1 is not a generic fantasy game with medieval knights and dragons. The atmosphere seems more exotic, ancient, mystic and earthbound alike, mixes the feelings of post apocalypse, Conan the Barbarian and an alien world of the "Unreal" game. You can align with one of three unique and interesting camps, with their own culture, hierarchy, weapon preference and magic lore. Combat mechanics is very satisfying and revolutionary for its times. Fighting animations change along with fencing skill level which also means more combinations are unblocked and your moves are quicker and less crude. World is interesting and you really feel you participate in it. You will subconsciously evade woods at night, mysterious ruins or dungeons when your character is still on lower levels and weak. You just treat your character serious. Life in the game feels like a real when you run across the communities and witness as a NPCs do their daily activities and talk with each other. You yourself can talk with everyone. Animals and monsters have their unique behaviors and combat tactics. Some initiate aggression from afar and track you, some charge on you and jump toward your throat while some tries to scare you away, and many more. Good trade system based on a barter exchange instead of gold, although there's still a universal currency in the game. The best thing about Gothic 1 is the fact that this game's full potential was utilised in just a small extent and still it came out to be the masterpiece. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME.
Excellent game. Beautiful art, graphics, levels and units appearance. Comfortable battle control. It's a pity "adventure map" isn't projected better and with more options than just moving along. In my personal opinion this game is even superior to Total War Warhammer.
