MetalCraze said:Gragt said:It's interesting because there is quite a big gap between the two games, in time (8 years) or production values, but Gothic just seem more fun to play. I might get a bad surprise soon and the game will become dull, but at least it got quite a good start.
Gothic easily dumps FO3 and Oblivion in terms of the design of the world you can explore, not mentioning that Gothic games have a NPC schedule done right. Some places really feel like they are "fantasy" forests/mountains and not boring generic hills with small trees of Oblivion/Failure3 copy pasted all around the place. So at least exploration where a world doesn't look like theme park shouldn't disappoint you.
Combat is terrible though.
Oblivion and Fallout 3 did combat well, for action RPGs that is. If you add mods so that there's more than one enemy per cell they're enjoyable games, but weak RPGs. I'll have to check out some of those story mods for Oblivion, Lingwei's in particular, but also the "integration" mod. That linear horror one could be pretty good, but might just be horror from the face-gen faces.
