@bernhard : Yes, Gothic 2 is definitively on my list, but I must be able to afford a new PC first, and I don't know when that will be.

I didn't explicitely say that it's action-oriented, but you need to fight a lot to get through G1 ...

What's absolutely positive about the game is the immersion ... I don't know much games with such a deep immersion.


I saw G2 for $10 and bought it -- I was unsure how it'd run, since I really did not meet the processor requirement; I didn't care, only $10. If it didn't run well, I'd put it on a newer PC, when I get one.

I really do want a new PC, too -- this thing is getting old. But, G2 still runs fine. I don't know how old your rig is or what you got, but my PC I have had for 4 years (which I have upgraded the RAM and vid card on) runs it decent.

I got Gothic 2 running on 800x600x16 w/ most of the stuff set on half or a little more for models and texture details. Distance is around 40% on objects and 60% on drawing distance, I believe. It runs fine on those settings for me.

In case you're wondering what kind of rig I got it running on, my PC Specs: AMD Athlon 700 Mhz, 64 MB GeForce 2 RAM, 384 MB RAM, 10x DVD-ROM, 52x32x52 CD-RW drive, 40 GB HD, Win 98 SE.

If you got anything around like what I've got or even better than what I have, I'd definitely give G2 a shot on that rig. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Likelyhood, if those settings sound decent to you, it'd be worth your time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
