Agree, the premise is more interesting, although in execution exploration, most quests and world in general are better in Gothic 2. Worst thing about Gothic 1 is how shit the later game is compared to the first 2 or 3 chapters. Playing it for the first time really gives you the feeling of being the underdog like you said. Realistically the game is easy as shit once you know combat and surviving gets much easier later on, and becomes a non-issue eventually, but before you are aware of that the game has the perfect spell for immersing you in the role of a weakling faggot who gets beaten up for not paying 10 lumps of blue rocks, and has to run scared from overgrown chickens and ugly molerats. Nevermind wolves or one of those cool guys in armor that seems worlds away from ever being yours. This feeds into my gut feeling that most games are perfect for their first playthrough, and re-runs are often the equivalent of being a faggot that looks up what build or strategy are the best before even ever running the game, and not enjoying learning (better word perhaps would be to discover?) those things by themselves — these kinds of levels of OCD and completionist autism are pure cancer, and players who play games like that are non-gamers, basically they're even not playing the game (to my criteria), they're merely finishing it as a chore because they've removed 90% of the enjoyment already. I wish I could erase my memories of knowing how to be good at some of these games just to re-live the moments of being immersed in these great games like I was for the first time.Gothic 1 in my #1 GOAT.2 is. 1 is a little rough around the edges. If you can’t stomach some eurojank you will not enjoy it.Gothic 1 and 2 really that good ? I never played them.How are their compatibility with Windows 10 ?
It has a much better setting than G2: the Prison colony. People treat you like shit, they're all hardened criminals, and the overall atmosphere feels just so much better than the nice G2 country side. The intro movie starting the game with hazing from tough guys and a punch in the face really sells it. The Old Camp protection money racket is great, you can get beat up for trying to evade it, and later if you join you get to enforce it. You're not the Chosen one in G1, you're the new little fuck everyone's trying to take advantage of, whereas in G2 you're already a hero. In consequence, rising from such a low starting point really feels awesome.
No game does playing the underdog better.
Actually based. Fuck walthroughs. Games aren't a to-do list that you must finish, even if you're incapable of getting through them or unwilling to learn from your mistakes.and due to pride refused to use a walkthrough so I ragequit.
lol(and no past Saved Games to go back on) .
That's why I always save at beginning of chapters and before (seperate saves from the regular ones) they are finished. Older games sometimes have ball-breaking esoteric things that are easy to miss and fuck up.
