Anyone playing Gothic II? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Working my way through the game right now and having a blast. Gothic I was one of the best RPG's I ever played and so far this sequel seems to be shaping up to be pretty decent as well.

If you like RPG's I would recomend this one.

Playing it and loving it. Gothic 1 was great too once you sussed out the awkard controls. Gothic 2's controls are much better.

What do you mean, awkward controls? I've also seen it cheaply in the stores and was thinking of buying it = Gothic 1 that is. Arent the graphics pretty outdated now?

In Austria the addon is now out "Die Nacht des Raben" .. it adds alot more content to the game, but you have to start new .

From what I've heard, the add-on ("The Night of the Raven" in English I believe) makes the game a lot harder - ie less exp from monsters, more LP required to raise stats and train weapon skills - as well as adding heaps more NPCs and quests.

Have you played Gothic 1? Mouselook aside, it's entirely keyboard driven, including the inventory, trade and menu screens, which can be very annoying at times. There's also little things like having to press two buttons to do simple things pick stuff up when one would do the job. It's still an awesome game though.

Can't remember how good G1's graphics were, but I think they were acceptable at the time it came out. Turn the view distance up and stand on top of a tall building/mountain and you could see for miles (same in G2) which is pretty cool.
