I don't know about you guys but I really liked the pirate/bandit island in gothic 2, really cool landscapes in there, and the places are just very comfy



I can't wait to play Risen, just gotta finish Gothic 3 first.

So I mentioned a while ago how I was going to give these games a proper playthrough. I put up with The Witcher and I'm having a blast now, all after I despised the controls in the Prologue, so I suppose the same will happen to Gothic 1.

The general consensus is that I should play:

- Gothic
- Gothic II
- Gothic 3 (just for the sake of completing the trilogy)
- Risen 1 (and no other Risen games)

Right?

Can't afford them. Besides, you're a potato, just steal someone's car or something.

Risen (1) is okish. Many people shat on release on the ending dungeon rush and the boss, but frankly it's not much different from G1 and G2. In fact, G1 boss is a even shittier pattern game imo.

I love how some people all true Codex grogs in this thread are saltier than the damn in-game pirates themselves. How DARE they put flintlocks and tricorn hats into a SWORD & SPELLSINGING game, that's unheard of! Oh, hang on... back in 1980? Laser guns!?

Joke aside, criticise the game mechanics or the adventure design all you wish, but OMG IT'S NOT MADIVEAL IT SUCKS is just pathetic.

Risen 1 is dope. Go G1->G2->R1, then return to G3 if you want a hiking and/or deer hunting simulator.
