The remake is genius and I am addicted to it in the same way I was back in 2001....Archolos did scratch this itch pretty well last year but this is OG legendary classic.

Crazy, already started 2nd run.
Already? Noice. How many hours 1st run took?

While not the target of your question, mine just finished at about 50h (my son just finished at around the same 50h mark as well). Did quite a bit of exploring and as much side stuff as I could find, but I know I missed stuff and left lotsa xp on the table. I had never played G1, but loved G2:NotR (and liked the first Risen and even Elex). Really enjoyed this one. I hope they do G2 with the NotR expansion.
I don't think I'll be able to play vanilla Gothic 1 anymore, even with mods. The remake has some issues, not all of them related to bugs, but it really does most things better in my opinion.
It's a wonderful effort indeed, and also bittersweet when one thinks about it - because when the faithful remake of a 2001 game blows the majority of modern open-world titles out of the water, it means something terribly wrong happened in the past 25 years of "progress" (not that it needed any confirmation). Much like when the System Shock Remake came out, not only did it demonstrate that mechanics/designs from 1994 are still relevant, but they're actually vastly superior to whatever the hell lobotomized mainstream gaeming is producing these days.
The Gothic blueprint of a challenging and fully coherent living world free from any handholding or Ubichecklisting deserved far more than a relatively niche status, but alas. Hopefully the sub-genre will enjoy a revival after this remake, and Alkimia will keep carrying the PB torch.
