Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Gothic 2

I just bought Gothic 2 (i'm installing it right now).
Did anybody played this game? is it any good? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I've played it a while ago. Its pretty good.

Darkfall, Gothic 2 is about to be released in the U.S. . Let us know what you thought of the game! I have been looking at it as something to play prior to
the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> release and in between <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> sessions. Do tell...Please?

Gothic i & II is a german game ( HAH ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) and the add-on has just been published. In the german part of this Forum there are discussions about it; another source would be www.RPGDot.com.

Like many european games (especially german), Gothic was very imaginative <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

if it like anything like gothic 1 then it has coolness written all over it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />Ive been waiting a long time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />. Always checking the website for hope www.piranha-bytes.com/gothic2

it will take the place of my favorite rpg which was Divinity if i can get my hands on it.

Gothic 1 was so fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

check out http://pc.ign.com for preview on US release of gothic 2.

Gothic 1 was a classic. I really loved it to bits (I still have the bits right here!). My only minor gripe was the controls but even they became second nature after a while.

@Alrik: Lol! I hope they didnt put the English version on your CD by accident <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I am playing Gothic 2 now, it is great, I love it.
I haven't played G1 because of cheesy controls.

Gothic 2 has excellent combat system and quest is also intriquing with many sidequests plus you will have almost different stories playing with three different classes.

Another advantage IMO is that it is made by european developers. I became a bit tired from expressions like -I'll be back-. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Anyway if you need advise or just wanna share thoughts go to rpgdot.com forums, plenty of info there.

OHh and I have a question to those who played the german version. How is it? Is it really so much different from english? I mean the quality of actors.

Well the problem with comparing english and german version is, one has to have ( right expression ? ) both at the same time to be able to compare. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I don't. I have played Gothic 1, but never finished so far.
I consider my PC too weak for Gothic 2, that's why I haven't bought it so far.

A note to the add-on : It puts some new things into the game, but unfortunately one has more or less to begin a new game to take full benefit from the expansion.

English version was heavily cricisized comparing to german one in PC gamer magazine.
I found english version quite good, but my english is quite poor.

I like Gothic 2 a lot. Every element of the game is incredible, although the random conversations can seem a bit weird sometimes. Oh and the loading times are huuuuuuge!

You haven't played Freelancer to hear terrible conversations. I still wonder how could this game get that high rating.

Loading times on my pc are quite ok. Ohh this happends if you have shortages of RAM and video <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

"We don't really own this place but we have an understanding with those who do."

What do you mean?

It's one of the dialogue sentences in Freelancer.

That you hear over, and over, and over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

It's the only sentance in Freelancer you hear more than twice ;0).

about freelancer.
i was thinkin of buying it.
is it worth my monney?

No. If you see it in a bargain bin in a year or so, I'd reccomend it. But not for the full price.
