Gothic is definately one of the best games I ever played.

First time I came in contact with Gothic, the controls seemed too crappy, so I abandoned it after just ten minutes of play. I mean, two buttons for an action? That' s just plain complication.
Several months later, I was in the mood for an RPG, so I decided to give Gothic a second chance. I decided to ignore the controls and just try to do my best in looking at the bright side of it. It turned out to be a very good decision.
After just 30 minutes or so, the controls felt like the back of my hand, and I was amazed by the excellent simulation of the social life in the Camps.
The game's best part is, IMO, the immense replayability : each of the three "Camps" (the factions of Gothic) offer one or more ways to go.
The game also has a good story, decent graphics (of course, you can't expect a 2001 game to live up for today's standards) and creates an original universe, different from other RPG's worlds.
The game's bugs (lots of them) are the only serious problem of the game, but you should live with that... It's only one problem, after all, and you won't even care about it after getting immersed in the game (and you will, believe me).
Just don't miss this game...
