    One of my favorite game. At the time the graphics were actually good. The atmosphere, stories and humor is really good. I see myself going back to this every couple years. Theres also a big mod community around it.

    The controls were now a bit better than in the first game and not as challenging as in the first game. Also, the story continued right from the end of the first game, and overall I think the music and atmosphere was just as good as the first one. But other than that, nothing else was improved.

    In fact, it got worse in terms of the pacing of the character's progression. Really the pacing was much worse. In the early 2nd game you're thrust into a big city without any direction on what to do.

    You're just told to go and press x, y and z. However, when you try to find clues on how to do the main missions, the game literally leaves you alone to figure it out for yourself. Now this is incredibly frustrating, especially for a new player.

    Do I have to talk to every NPC in town hoping that they can tell me something useful about even the smallest things in the game? I understand the open world gameplay and logic, but the player still needs some guidance.

    If the game isn't going to try and draw me in with its story, why should I keep going, hoping that it will get interesting in the end? It's just that it's incredibly slow at the beginning and you'll soon lose interest in the game. In short, even if you have some free time, stay away from Gothic 2 just like the first game.    … Expand

    Gothic II is mindblowing and (in my opinion) one of the best sequels ever made. It exceeds its predeccessor in nearly every single matter. This is certainly the best game they ever did. Thank you Piranha Bytes!

    I have a difficulty to understand the hype around this game; while it has a free gameworld, a lot of skills, and huge roleplaying options it simply does not have the "soul" to speak about, rather a kind of bleak, "middleage" generic setting, too slow, boring storyline, uninteresting characters. Not a bad game for sure, not a legendary one either.

    Visiting the old world, improving everything, creating a new and interesting world, creating a add-on which changes the whole game instead of giving you just another chapter plus giving you another world to discover.

    Mi juego de rol favorito de todos los tiempos y el único con un mundo abierto real.

    Gothic 2 tiene una curva de dificultad invertida: nosotros comenzamos a nivel 1 pero todo el mundo ya está ahí cuando llegamos y todas las zonas son explorables desde el minuto 1 por lo que si nos metemos donde no debemos lo más probable será que muramos. Sin embargo la fuerza de los enemigos no es ficticia debido a su nivel sino que respetan las mismas reglas para todos los enemigos y npc como para el protagonista por lo que con un poco de suerte y siendo jugadores habilidosos podemos derrotar a enemigos superiores aunque sea complicado.

    Cada misión, objeto, enemigo, etc está en el mundo por algo y somos nosotros los que decidimos a que reto nos enfrentamos o a que localización nos dirigimos sin que nadie nos limite por muros invisibles de nivel o de zonas del mapa bloqueadas. Y cuando subimos un nivel, encontramos un arma que causa un 10% más de daño y somos capaces de portarla nuestro cerebro se acuerda de ese enemigo que nos vapuleó en el pasado y cuando regresamos y lo pateamos el culo transmite a la perfección la sensación de que nuestro héroe es cada vez más poderoso y si hacemos todo lo que el juego ofrece llegaremos al final del juego en modo dios, lo cual, a mi por lo menos, me encanta.

    Visualmente sigue siendo bonito incluso 20 años después de su lanzamiento y su sonido y música son magistrales. Hay gente que acusa su "torpe" sistema de combate pero para mí este juego enseñó a dark souls o a the witcher como se hace un videojuego y, si aún así te sigue pareciendo tosco y difícil, Git Gud noob XD.

    Actualmente se puede conseguir este juego por 1 euro en infinidad de plataformas de venta digital de videojuegos y sigue siendo una apuesta totalmente recomendable para los amantes de los rpg occidentales y de los videojuegos en general.

    Para poner la guinda al pastel, la historia es soberbia, los npc que en teoría son tus amigos realmente lo son y te alegras de verles, ayudarles y ellos te devuelven siempre la ayuda en forma de enseñanzas, dinero o palabras amables mientras que a cualquiera que te caiga mal siempre puedes apalearlo, sólo 4 o 5 npc son inmortales y eso es debido a que si murieran no podrías terminar el juego.

    En resume, que lo juegues ya.    … Expand

The bugs became a dishonorable staple of the Gothic series. On day 1 it was a nightmare to play but I was prepared and waited until patches fixed the problems (mostly). It continues the story of Gothic. The nameless hero (running gag as he will always be interrupted when he wants to introduce himself) has destroyed the barrier and freed the prisoners but was trapped. His mentor Xardas rescued him in a weakened state after some time has passed as a new and even greater menace appears on the Island of Khorinis. On the main land the war against the orcs does not go well and the king has send his paladins to get as much magic ore as possible from Khorinis because magic weapons are their best chance. There are uprisings on Khorinis as the kings increasing taxes ruin the people. Again the game has great characters, humor, an enjoyable story and an even bigger world to explore. The story is excellent and has good twist and some surprises. For players of Gothic it is even better as you will encounter old friends and be indulged in nostalgia. This is the prime example of creating good NPC characters. You care about them. The world-building and lore gets improved as you learn more about the gods, faith, politics and society. Again there are fractions in the game you can work for and must chose one later on. There are also rumors of a thieves guild and maybe you will revisit a familiar place;-). The world is huge for its time and there is a lot to explore. Be warned as you can explore much of it early one and you are not suited or underprepared to deal with all enemies yet. Again bows are the best choice for combat and I would stick with it. A new addition is a crafting system. You can become an apprentice in a few professions (can learn a bit in all but must chose one). You can craft weapons, gut animals or brew potions. The leveling system is untouched. You gain experience points and after leveling up you get skill points that can be used to increase stats or learn new abilities from trainers. Tip: After you reach certain numbers for your stats it gets more expensive to raise them further. Raising comes in 1 and 5 point steps. Raise it 1 point below the point it gets more expensive and raise it thereafter by 5 points. Saved a few points this way. As before bows are my favorite choice and many will agree. While it is an excellent game there are 2 complaints. Firstly the bugs which I avoided by waiting for patches (Took longer than it sounded and you can read the documentation what the patches fixed) and secondly it is a bit to easy. I hardly died in the game. However this does not taint the experience. Overall this was a classic for its time and still holds up. The atmosphere, characters and story won many people over. Bonus: The add on “Night of the Raven” improved the game tremendous (Again after some patches) and is considered by many including me as ultimate Gothic experience (Gothic 3 is inferior due to development struggles and Gothic 4 is more of using the name to get a bigger audience).… Expand

It's hindered unfortunately by it's difficulty, which is flat out unfair at times. Still, it continues the story well and has a great twist at the end that sets up the events of Gothic 3.

    still probably my all time favorite game. there aren't many games (especially today) that can create such a deep, rich and real world like gothic 2. i don't know how newcomers would perceive this game today, but if you ask me, it's still one of the best rpg's of all time

    I am a 17 y.o gamer that played this game for the first time in 2017. The graphics were obviously outdated, inventory system was ambigious, and BOY WAS THIS GAME HARD. But something about this game just did not let me toss it away...It was fun to play. Some people complain about the combat's clunkiness (yes, this is true to some extent), but it was highly rewarding, intense, and fair. IfI am a 17 y.o gamer that played this game for the first time in 2017. The graphics were obviously outdated, inventory system was ambigious, and BOY WAS THIS GAME HARD. But something about this game just did not let me toss it away...It was fun to play. Some people complain about the combat's clunkiness (yes, this is true to some extent), but it was highly rewarding, intense, and fair. If you are fighting a low-level human in the beginning, both you and your opponent will have low-level movesets. Yet, the battle will require a soulsborne level of concentration, because YOU can kill him in 3-4 hits, and the same is applied to you. You can not just hold the right button to maintain block, it works like a parry: once you get used to the timing, everything will flow perfectly. You can hit once or twice, block, or dodge backwards. Then, after having defeated your adversary, you will earn a well-deserved exp, and this feeling is priceless. Progression is well-balanced and influential, quests and combat make their contribution equally. This game delivers truly pleasant feels when you earn exp, and I respect that immensely.
    The game has basically myriads of cool features in its every aspect that help you get immersed. If you level up your sword skills, you will have new, cooler movesets with longer combinations and a gigachad stance that makes you feel badass. The nights are really dark and creepy: getting lost in the forests that are densely filled with wolves and other beasts that can tear you apart is a unique experience. It is not easy to run away from enemies: you either face your death with honor or learn to run with zigzags. Humans loot you if you are knocked unconscious; they will draw their swords and warn you if you dont sheath your weapon. If you have chosen the path of fire mages, basically everyone starts to respect you, and otherwise will be different. This game is well-crafted and elaborate, therefore it is very replayable.
    Exploration is probably the best part of Gothic 2. There are many hidden secrets with precious loot scattered all over the map. You will never think smth like "Oh, this is garbage!" when finding loot: everything can contribute to the journey.
    Music is perfect for the game's atmosphere, there is nothing to talk about it.
    The only drawbacks are that the story and setting are generic, and you sometimes need to walk long distances, because the character moves slowly and there is no fast travel, only runes for teleportation between major locations that are found in the middle of the game.
    Gothic 2 is an underappreciated jewel of rpgs, definitely recommended :)    … Expand

    Bigger and longer than the first game, also the controlls are better. The first 2 chapters (and Night of the Raven DLC) are amazing, it kinda falls of as you're further and further into the story and the ending is great imo. Also the difficulty can be compared to today's Dark Souls games.

    this is not the case for gothic 2. Your friends actually do feel more like 'real' people. they have quests of their own and you can help them and in exchange, they will help you WHEN you need them.

    In general the quests in gothic 2 are a masterpiece, you can solve them in many different ways

    Last, but not least, you can loot everyone and get what they actually owned. sadly something piranha bytes stopped putting into their games.    … Expand

    ---

    I love Gothic 2 (and The Night of the Raven DLC). It's Piranha Bytes's masterpiece which many players don't truly understand.

    Yes, G2 is really tough at the beginning and even weaker monsters can easily kill you. But that's the point! You have to become stronger, learn the combat mechanics, use some tactic, be patient and then you will be able to kill that damn goblin who kicked your ass several hours ago.

    -- Combat --
    I had no problem with controls, it came all naturally to me. The combat is perfectly balanced. You can hit, block, dodge back and strafe (circle around enemy) and your enemies can usually do exactly the same. Big troll won't strafe too much because it is slow for him, instead he will punch you - and he will punch you hard. Small goblins will strafe to make it harder for you to hit them, humans will try to block your attacks etc. Combat in real world is about hitting the enemy and avoiding hits from the enemy. Combat in G2 is inspired by this reality so if enemies manage to corner you, you're probably f*cked. Lesson learned, load the game and try again.

    And even if you tried 30 times and the enemy still smashes you, then try to come back later. You didn't expect to kill a group of bandits while wearing light armor and armed only with a sword that you can't even handle properly, did you?

    -- World & exploration --
    World in G2 is not like in modern open world games. There are no warning signs that "you're approaching area with high-level enemies". The only warning you'll get is from other characters who mention something like "don't go to forest, you will die". And if you go into the forest unprepared, you will most likely die - but that's *your* responsibility.

    Again, world in G2 feels like a real place. People are mostly in town and farms, skeletons in tombs, wolves near forests etc. If citizen from town tells you to find the hideout of bandits, you have to think what would be a logical place for hideout (probably somewhere near the town) and then pay attention while going through area. Seek and ye shall find.

    World isn't big, but it's easy to get lost for a first time. Did you buy a map? No. Can someone near you point you to right direction. No. Well, it was *your* decision to go into the world unprepared. Lesson learned, load the game and try again.

    -- Character development --
    You can learn melee or ranged weapons, magic and some other things. But invest your points wisely. It's not wise to decide on level 20 that you switch from melee to magic. "Jack of all trades, master of none" is approach that will only make the game harder for you.

    While the game is easiest when focused on melee, it can be finished only with bows, only as a pure mage... It just requires some experience.

    You learn the skills and attributes from teachers. You have to find each teacher. This helps to immerse you in the game because you gain strength by talking to person, not by clicking some virtual button.

    -- Equipment --
    There's a lot of armors, weapons and magic. The money is scarce at the beginning. But that's the point! You have to think twice what you sell, keep or buy. Want more money? Do quests, learn to pick locks and loot chests, steal from houses etc. But don't break the law, because penalty costs something...

    Want to get better armor and equipment? Join a faction, advance in story, help somebody, loot some ancient tomb.

    -- Story, quests & dialogues --
    Not much to write about story - it is linear, generally uninteresting.

    Quests are usually entertaining and some of them offer several ways how to complete them. Will you rat on thieves guild or join them? Or perhaps join them, take their money and then rat on them. Did you give a fee to soldier when he politely asked? No. Well, don't be surprised if he refuses to help you in the future.

    Dialogues are natural and reasonable. Talk with people, it can give you valuable information. You may miss lot of quests (and money) if you're too lazy to listen to people.

    -- FINAL VERDICT --
    Gothic 2 is a game that you can't just 'play'. You need to 'understand' the game. You will be weak. You will die. You will get better. You will die again. But it will never be unfair. You start as a weak man and end as a saviour of the world.

    Gothic 2 is a fabulous old-school RPG that requires only one thing from you - to understand the game.    … Expand

    How long I waited for the release of this game. Gothic 2 - has become bigger, better, more difficult, longer and more interesting. Now the choice of each faction affects the passing of the game and the experience as a whole. The combat system became smoother and more dependent on the player's skill. There are many new weapons and armor, and mages with steel are more interesting to play.

    Игра детства.. Первая игра жанра РПГ, которая была мной пройдена (Правда это была первая часть, но не суть, франшиза ведь так же). Как же давно было.. Эх, ностальгия.

    Шедевральная игра, продолжающая историю неизвестного бродяги, заброшенного в колонию Миненталь, и который даже не догадывался, какая судьба его ждет и что от его решений, по сути, зависила судьба целого королевства. Здесь вас ждет суровый мир, где уже с начала игры вам придется драться чуть ли не с самыми суровыми противниками в игре, где постоянно не будет хватать опыта и денег, где каждый второй будет вам дерзить и втаптывать в грязь, а вы в свою очередь должны будете из нее медленно но верно подниматься. Каждый раз проходя игру еще один раз я находил в ней новые квесты или персонажей, новые предметы и пути разрешенения конфликтов. Иногда, конечно, может надоедать принципиальная однообразность квестов (принеси-убей-заплати-найди), но что поделать, неотъемлемая часть РПГ. Персонажи получились довольно интересными и неоднообразными, многие настроенны к вам недружелюбно и пытаються вас подставить ограбить или убить, кого-то можно переубедить это делать или даже настроить к себе притовоположно, но некоторых сколько не колоти все бестолку. Арсеналом тоже не обделили, но за доспехи вам придется отдавать космические суммы (Наемник), а чтобы нормально использовать оружие придется тратить несчетное количество очков прокачки на владение им, а также на стат, отвечающий за это оружие (Сила, Ловкость). Магия также довольно разнообразна и в игре присутвует множество рун и развитие по пути мага. Мир заполнен всякой живностью, которая не даст вам заскучать, ведь по началу победить даже стаю волков будет ой как не просто. Даже и не знаю про что еще говорить, уверен что не раз еще пройду ее снова, ведь каждый раз почти как новый..
    Думаю, вывод очевиден.

    Gothic II is a gigantic game in a small world. The trick that the devs pulled to make the game seem so enormous was to make use of absolutely every nook and cranny on the map. Most of these places aren't even relevant to the main story; you can plow through the game several times over and still stumble across something new hidden in an easily missed gap between rocks or behind a waterfallGothic II is a gigantic game in a small world. The trick that the devs pulled to make the game seem so enormous was to make use of absolutely every nook and cranny on the map. Most of these places aren't even relevant to the main story; you can plow through the game several times over and still stumble across something new hidden in an easily missed gap between rocks or behind a waterfall at the bottom of a deep valley. Since the game doesn't throw powerful items or experience at you like lots of the loot-fest RPGs out there, the (usually) small rewards secreted away across the island are always satisfying to discover. This and the fact that the game is largely loading screen- and objective marker-free makes the whole world feel alive and supremely explorable. Just be careful; the game will hold your hand for a grand total of five seconds before booting you into a world where all of the local fauna have it out for you and will absolutely WRECK you if you aren't familiar with the somewhat clunky combat system. It gets easier later on but the challenge is always there. Don't be scared though; the danger just makes exploring that much more rewarding.… Expand

С самого начала и до самого конца игра будет заставлять вас сейвиться на каждом шагу, продумывать до мелочей схему и порядок прокачки и думать-думать-думать о том, как пройти дальше.
    Игровой мир не так велик, как в серии TES, но его насыщенность событиями - уникальна. Концентрация квестов, количество деталей и проработка мира - восхитительны. Также особо хочу отметить жесткие правила игры - выбрав одну сторону вы обязательно столкнетесь с последствиями. Принятые решения не раз аукнуться вам в будущем, а их результаты вы очень наглядно увидите в отношении мира и персонажей к вам.
    Сейчас выходит не так много игр, повторное прохождение которых имеет смысл. Готику 2 имеет смысл пройти минимум трижды, лично я даже после 5-6 прохождения находил в ней что-то новое для себя. Даже 10 лет спустя эта игра даст про♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ся большинству современных РПГ.    … Expand

    Dne 29. listopadu 2002 vyšla hra, která nejen ovlivnila mé dětství, ale zároveň zabrala v mém životě nesčetné množství hodin. Tyto hodiny nebyly žádným promarněným časem, ani potenciálem využít tento čas lépe (teda možná – ovšem nějak se vymluvit musím). Druhý díl série Gothic se v mnohém podobal tomu prvnímu.

Tyto hodiny nebyly žádným promarněným časem, ani potenciálem využít tento čas lépe (teda možná – ovšem nějak se vymluvit musím). Druhý díl série Gothic se v mnohém podobal tomu prvnímu. Ovšem jeho výhodou bylo: větší budget, propracování, světem a atmosférou vůbec nepokulhával za svým předchůdcem. Pocit, když každý rok probíhám od Xardasovi věže na Lobartovu farmu, je jako žádný jiný. Je naprosto úžasný. Když člověk vidí tu naoko neuvěřitelně příjemnou texturu, když má možnost opět majznout banditu, který držkuje po cestě, když oběhne krvavé mouchy, ukradne almužny určené pro boha Innose a naláká hladového vlka k Melethovým ovcím. Do toho všeho zpěv ptáků, chrastění při každém kroku a hudba, která hladí na duši. Tento relaxující pocit prožívám vždy při opětovném stisknutí tlačítka „Nová hra“ v hlavním menu.

    Bohužel. V dnešních meřítcích je tato hra mnohými již zapomenuta. Komunita se každým dnem zmenšuje a žádný podmět typu „Gothic 5“ není. Při dnešních měřítcích jsme hold už staří – jak hráči této hry, tak hra samotná. Třeba jednoho dne se dočkáme toliko vytouženého pokračování. Tato série je jedním z nejlepších RPG, bohužel již ne dnešní doby. Není tolik nesmrtelná, jako Diablo, či The Elder Scrools. Je to tím, že není ani v dost opečovávaná.

    Nyní mou osobu prosím omluvte. Jdu vysvětlit Sentenzovi neexistující rozdíl mezi jeho prdelí a obličejem, přičemž mu rozhodně nedám jeho 50 zlatých.

    Gothic is love,
    Gothic is life.
    -R.

    Ja, selbst 2015 könnte ich dieses super atmospärische Spiel spielen.

    Der Soundtrack und die Vertonung dieses Spiels sind selbst heute noch der Hammer. Vorallem ist es echt lustig, wenn man die Synchronsprecher, die in Gothic 2 vorkommen wieder in andere neuerscheinte Games findet. (z.B in Risen 3 kommen wieder alte bekannte Synchronsprecher vor.)
    Ich könnte noch eine grosse Liste über das Spiel selber schreiben, aber es gibt ja noch Modifikationen, über denen ich dringend noch was sagen muss. Es gibt sicher verschiedene Leute, die Gründe haben das Spiel nicht zu spielen, dafür habe ich natürlich eine Lösung parat.

    Wem das Spiel halt so nicht gefällt, der kann noch das neuerscheinte ''Odysee'' Herunterladen. ''Odysee'' ist eine Total Conversation Mod, die mehr als 200 Spielstunden bietet. Ihr könnt im WoG forum mehr darüber lesen falls ihr insteressiert seid.
    Wem das Spiel wegen der Grafik nicht gefällt, der kann warten oder Eventuell bei einer Modder Gruppe mithelfen, die das Spiel in einem Direct X11 Spiel umwandeln.
    Wem das Spiel sehr gefällt und/oder wer es schon durch hat und trozdem noch mehr will, der sollte sich unbedingt die Modifikation ''Die Rückkehr'' installieren. Eine riesen grosse Mod, die ich hier nur schwer zusammenfassen kann. Wer jedoch nicht so eine grosse Modifikation wie die Rückkehr möchte, der sollte sich ''VarusBiker'' herunterladen.
    Wer das Spiel zwar durch hat, aber irgendwie eine andere Story und eine kleine total Conversation spielen möchte, der hat natürlich ein riesen auswahl.
    Natürlich hat Gothic 1, 2 und 3 eine sehr aktive Community auf der Seite WoG. Dort erscheinen regelmässig Mods und pro Tag kommen ca. 200 neue Beiträge oder sogar mehr.
    Viel spass mit dem Spiel, wer es noch spielt oder wer es noch spielen wird.    … Expand

    This game time is artificially prolonged by ridiculous amounts of difficulty. The clunky and unresponsive control scheme is bad enough, but you start so weak that you're forced to do a lot of mindless leveling up before you can do anything interesting.
