Play without NOTR if you haven'tI'm just replaying Gothic 2 with NotR and I would say the game is a bit too long for its own good. It's incredibly packed with quests and stuff to do and totally shits on Skyrim's cities for example with the amount of quests.
I remember Gothic 1 being a little more straight-forward and I kinda have this comparison that G1 is to Gothic what F1 is to Fallouts but I gotta replay it to see if it's true because I liked F1 the most of all Fallouts.
So if I'm right, I'd just play them chronologically. I've played G3 and I got bored because it's pretty but too much of the same with much less tight world.
Does this basically just cut out Jharkendar? So you return from The Valley of the Mines with the letter than just go straight back to The Valley of the Mines?
You lose 3 major quest lines (kidnapping of people, the pirates' stuff, and bandit weapons) and some other stuff around like some workarounds to join guilds, some NPCs, and certain items (tablets come readily to mind) of course. Honestly, just bear with it... it is worth it. Also, the game is WAY easier without the add-in.
