    I love this game. It takes me to another world. A world which seems to be better. I feel I belong here. But I always walk back into this existence. 10/10

    器用振りの弓パラディンでクリア。
    クリアに至るまで色々と大変だったが、中々良い、大作ＲＰＧだった。３つの割と広大なエリアを冒険するセミ・オープンワールド・・・というか昨今のファンタジー系のオープンワールドＲＰＧの基礎となったゲームといえる感じだろうか。
    前作からの設定を背負ってる割に貧弱な主人公を、兵士・傭兵・魔法使いのいずれかにし、邪神の使者であるドラゴン達を倒すのが基本的なゲームの目標である。 多くの章からなる構成になっており、クエストの数は膨大で、ボリュームに関しては相当なものだった。 ほぼ常にセーブが可能であるとはいえ、難易度は総合的にかなり高かったように思う。 （例　後半の凍結する飛び道具に当たったらほぼ死亡確定、敵集団を下手にけしかけると袋叩きで死亡確定、等々）    器用振りの弓パラディンでクリア。

    古いゲームということもあってアクションの操作性はあまりよろしくはなく、プレイヤースキルに依存しにくい調整になっている。
    キングスフィールドのような古い３ＤＲＰＧが好きで、難易度が高いものを求めている人にはオススメできる一作。
    しかし、かなりの文章量とマップやクエスト関連のシステムやインターフェースの不親切さ、ウィンドウモードがない等々の点から、かなり言語の壁が厳しいものになっている。さらに元々ドイツのゲームということで、英語の攻略情報も完備されてるとはいい難いのでその辺りは注意。    … Expand

    Dle mého je tato hra nejlepší z celé série. Je zde vidět, jak hodně vývojáři postoupili od prvního dílu.

Bojový systém je příjemně vylepšený, doknce lze říct že je úplně nový.

    Od této hry můžete očekávat spoustu zajímavých úkolů, které nejsou v podstatě nijak oděleny od hlavní příběhové linie. Většina úkolů je takového typu, že dorazíte do nějaké lokace a chcete se dostat dále, takže se musíte nějak osvědčit, aby vás vpustili dále a samozřejmě chcete peníze lepší vybavení a zkušenosti. Toto se může zdát repetetivní, ale zajímavá zápletka a nějaké speciální vedlejší úkoly vás poženou stále dál a dál.

    Co se týče vylepšování vaší postavičky tak vše funguje tak jak má a celé to funguje na klasickém systému zdraví, mana, síla a obratnost. Samozřejmě zde nechybí speciální dovednosti, jako třeba akrobacie, plížení atd.

    Tato hra toho nabízí celkem hodně zajímavého obsahu, přičemž pokud budete chtít udělat všechny úkoly tak vám to zabere zhruba 80 hodin.    … Expand

    Gothic 2 with the add-on The Night Of The Raven is truly a masterpiece of an rpg. The story, the voiceacting, the melee fighting mechanics, the vast and diverse world is one of a kind. Gothic 1 should be played before this game, so you wont have trouble understanding the story ( and gothic 1 is fantastic game as well ).

The story, the voiceacting, the melee fighting mechanics, the vast and diverse world is one of a kind. Gothic 1 should be played before this game, so you wont have trouble understanding the story ( and gothic 1 is fantastic game as well ).

    Pros
    - This game is a true open-world rpg. You can visit the vast majority of places in the world without story developing into those regions
    - The melee fighting mechanic is very well constructed. The combos are really fun execute. The AI meelefighters are also masterfully done. You will understand in a very short time, that you are facing a true blademaster. The parries, dodges and combos the enemies can do makes the fighting experience something beyond many rpg games i have played.
    - The magic in the game is diverse. Healing, summoning, teleportation, elemental, status effect you have everything in this game. The AI mages usually use low level spells, but sometimes you encounter your usual enemy mage casting one the strongest fire spells if you allow him to execute the spell in time.
    - The story is fantastic. Very well written, very well coordinated through npcs, augmented with side-quests helping you get through the main story.
    - The side quest are what makes this game on the best in its time.
    - The voice acting is fantastic ( especially the german)
    - The integration of the gothic 1 characters is smoothly done. They fit right in where you will find them here in gothic 2
    - The world is wonderfully constructed, each new region has a center plaza to rotate easily between places of importance. Different terrain in nearly all the new places you encounter. Vast number of monsters. Huge number of npcs. The npcs with no names ( eg. a novice) has speech option, where he or she will give a different responses to the different events happening in the world of khorinis at that time
    - Replayable through different faction selections.
    - Fantastic world and boss music

    Cons
    - Minor logic mistake with npc equipments
    - Playing as a mage in add-on is very hard. This is very sad, because some of the add-on introduced spells are very fun to use ( the normal G2 mage is still fine)
    - Some of the boss battles are not working properly, the patterns leave open a lot of abuses for archers and mages to exploit.
    - There are still some bugs for unlimited gold if you have the time to do it multiple times. ( nothing gamebreaking )    … Expand

    A still close to state-of-the-art atmosphere, with 'living' people and places, authentic social structures in an open world and a straight story line with lots of sidelines - the end might be a bit disputable, but nevermind. A classic.
