A should try game!
Gothic 2 is an amazing game. Mostly the people that I have met have 2 kinds of attitude towards this game; some think this is the best RPG ever created, others, on the contrary think that it is not the game they would like to play or even discuss. There is no golden middle for this game! You either are going to love it or you will hate it.
The game offers a unique world where you have an enormous degree of freedom. For example the only limitation to your movement in the world of gothic is your ability to survive. If you feel you can handle it, then you are free to try. This creates an interesting and exiting world where you can have everything your own way (not always it will be the wisest thing to do, but at least you are given a chance).
The fights in the game can be quite tough some times. But I came to love the principle buy which the fighting works in the game: it doesn’t only conceder the stats of your character but also your own ability to handle your character. This makes the gameplay more exiting and reach, you actually “live” the fight and not just left click and sit back to see weather you can kill the monster or not.
The world of the game is very rich (though it is not a very large one), every area in the game is unique, no 2 areas look the same, and if you have visited the spot you’ll surely recognize it when you pass there later. It looks grate too.
Another thing I came to love about this game is that the characters look, dress and behave differently. And I am not talking only about the main characters; even an insignificant peasant in a farm looks different from the others.
And all the above mentioned wouldn’t be worth anything if it wasn’t for the captivating and deep story of the game.
In short; I love this game.
