Gothic

[Googolplex]

I've made several attempts to play Gothic and always ended up abandoning it due to terrible controls and for other reasons. I love the concept and music though, hopefully I will sit down and play it till the end some day.

Hey, I totally understand you. Old games are often a bit thick and gnarled in the controls, not so smoothly like modern games. I also needed a second try to become familiar. But that's normal. You need much time, especially for a RPG. Every game needs time to feel in.

At the least you reaches the second chapter, you will really enjoy the game. The beginning may is a bit "boring" beacuse you need to empathize first and you don't know about the true story.

We also could say that about Amnesia. Some people could say it's too slow, no action scenes etc. and the story also takes a big role in the later part of the game.

Give it an other try. And remember you don't need the mouse for playing. It's easier when just use the keypad. And don't be worried about the english synchronization, I've heard it is not the best, but that shouldn't harm to play the game.

You just need a lot of time and patience.

I now started playing Gothic 2 again. It's already 12 years old and looks still amazing.

Is that the Quake engine? I swear to god that looks like the Quake engine.

No, the engine is called "ZenGin" or even "Gothic-Engine" and was created by the devs itself.

Also included "Arcania: Gothic 4" which was created by an other developer. But this thread mainly should be about the original first two Gothic games in the series.
