The best , most addictive RPG ever created . It took me away 3 weeks of my life until I finally got to the end :D

The story is awesome , and the quests are amazing . Also , its fully voice-acted and the actors are pretty darn good :o

2 was great to , but I could never get into it as in the first one , and 3 ... well lets hope that 4 will wash the shame :( It wasnt terrible , but it was far from being good ...

I thought my PC was near implosion everytime I started this game back in 2001. Each time I loaded a savegame it took about 10 min. before I could actually play. I could literally watch the graphics being build up, it felt like every frame was written separately into the PC memory. After some weeks of playing Gothic I had to accept that my PC was hopelessly outdated and I decided to quit PC gaming after more than 10 years and 4 PCs.

Oh, the game: From what I saw it was a very good RPG and it got good ratings back then. I loved watching my character lurk around the detailed world and fighting creatures in slow motion.

The Gothic series is extremely popular in Germany until today and a success in other EU countries, as well, but the incomplete and buggy Gothic 3 almost broke developer Piranha Bytes' neck. PB and EU publisher JoWooD shifted the blame on each other and they ended their partnership in 2007. Gothic 4 will be developed by a different German developer.

Very, very good, it manages to have a vast environment as Morrowind, and lots of quests and subquests (although less than the immense MW), but without the drawbacks and also with slightly better graphics, despite the similar HW requirements (sometimes MW has some hiccups with my Athlon 2200+ and Radeon 9250, Gothic always runs smoothly).
