Gothic - which one first ?

Hey all, so I just purchased the gothic bundle for 2 bucks and was wondering which one I should play first. I saw some screens of gothic 2 and the graphics look like they might turn me off unless the game is really really good. Should I go for gothic 3 or 2 first and why ? Thanks for any help with this.

Gothic 2 is ten times better than Gothic 3. Solid story, solid everything. Remarkable, unforgettable, absolute must-have. Gothic 3 is just a lot of superficial and tedious "go there and bring me that" sort of quests.

And Gothic 1 is way better than Gothic 2: in my case, Gothic 1 was THE most immersive game ever! Top-notch, second to none. If made by one of the major companies, with a decent promotional budget, it would have changed the standards. Yes, it's that good. Dated graphics nowadays, but who cares?

So, definitively play Gothic 2 first!

Gothic 3 has a more 'explosive' start and...possibly a better tutorial (i don't actually remember it, hm), but I don't think you could go wrong either way.

Gothic II = one of the best RPGs i've ever played, so start with that one. Gothic I i couldn't really get into and gothic III i haven't played yet.

Gothic 2 is by far the better game IMO, the graphics arent that dated and the amazing immersive gameplay makes up for it!

played all 3. first one is my favorite by far .

I really wanted to enjoy gothic 2 but this game is really hard, especially when you're playing with the expantions

Haven't played in a while but gothic II still looks good in the screen shots for 8 year old game. Haven't played 3 yet since most people tend to say it riddled w/ problems.

Gothic 3 has been fixed by patches so it is very playable now. At any rate, OP, I'd go with Gothic 2 because I still think it's the better or the two games. Although, honestly, I don't think you can go wrong either way.
