I've only played Gothic 3 (well, and "that one" that came after). Wonderful game for its complexity, number of side-quests, atmosphere, scale and everything else; even though it started off in the middle of a battle where you could get pwned, which set the scene for about the first quarter of the game, and had bugs and terrible voice acting. It was still awesome. But how come there were only about three women in the entire game? It gave it a slightly odd vibe.
Gothic 3 was launched one year before it was ready. Is a unfinished rushed game. As for woman, there are far more woman on Gothic 2.
The unique Gothic game which I can't recommend is ArcaniA and forsaken Gods. If you plan to play G2, I recommend not using any mod on G2 for your first run. After you finished G2, I recommend returning 2.0. On G3, community path is a must have mod.
People mock Piranha Bytes that they only make Gothic 2.
- Gothic 1 = Gothic 2 in a penal colony
- Gothic 2 = Gothic 2
- Gothic 3 = Open World Gothic 2
- Risen = Gothic 2 in a Caribbean colonial island
- Risen 2/3 = Gothic 2 pirate edition.
- Elex = SCI-FI Gothic 2
What I loved to play Gothic 3 was as a water magician.
I love Kingmaker. It's the most BG like game of the modern RPG era by far.
I agree. I can't wait to play WotR. I can't get lichdoom in a CRPG since Might & Magic 8 - day of the destroyer, about 2 decades ago.
Is good that we will have a amazing low to mid level CRPG(BG3) and a good mid to high level with mythic paths(PF:WoTR)
