Gothic is a whole new game. It’s not your normal role playing game. It’s not about heroes that save the day or anything so lofty. You’re a criminal being cast away from society and your given the chance to make a difference in the your life inside the prison world they have constructed for you and possibly the world. The society you’re a part of is a dark and gothic one. In this game the inmates have taken over the Asylum, and your one of the inmates. It’s a definite different twist on the common role play. Its system has a high learning curve, to the point that you need to be taught in game how to master the skills you can have. Again the amount of choice is awesome, not only do you have the right to chose your actions, you can chose your affiliations, and what society you chose to be apart of. Who you ally with and who you don’t. Your character develops along your choices not along a preset rules associated with a specific class. All in all Gothic goes the extra mile and is a mile stone in the genre. Its worse problem is the graphics interface can overwhelm a computer quickly.
