Pretty simple question, which is your fav. gothic game, and why?

For me, it's a tossup between g2 (nostalgia), g3(world) and Risen (combat). But I think G3 comes out on top, because of the truly huge open world, in which I truly felt alive.

Why did I add Arcania to the mix? ... well, you never know when someone from the console section wanders by.

Would say G2, for nostalgia. First one I played through (Couldn't run G1 when it came out Laughing)

G3 (after fan patches) and Risen are probably better games, but you can't beat your first time Wink

I see G4 got 2 votes. Trolls, surely...

I wouldn't even know where to begin. I suppose, after umpteen patches and fixes, my final vote would settle on G3 - simply because it's the one I've spent most time in. G2 for nostalgia sake .. and putting G4 in the mix is just wrong

Well, this vote would be kinda pointless in the console section. Since there is only Risen (which is shitty ported... btw, HAHA how does it taste DERPs?) and G4 Very Happy

Ah bullshit... it would be kinda pointless anyway because 90% of them are just... well ... lol wut

I like Gothic 2 a little more than 1 and 3. Though one without the other can't exist, so 1, 2 and 3 are equal in some way for me, it's just that I liked a little more the 2nd one. Arcania has more votes than Gothic 1... what... the... fuck?!

I wont vote because I still haven't played Gothic 1,2 and 3.
So far it's Risen, but that will surely change.

Or not. Cause I could imagine that it's a pain in the ass to play those old classics if you haven't played them back then. Mostly because of the controls. I played G1 and 2 with keyboard only, just for example Very Happy
But, the rest of G1 and 2 are making up for that. Awesome games.

I enjoyed G2 the most, but G3, G1 and Risen were also good. G3 missed something though. Arcania should not even be on that list.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Gothic 2 was fantastic in its time, played it to death back then. But by todays standards a bit clunky. Risen is what comes closest to the original Gothics and has a good engine, imho.

Whats this "Arcania" you speak of? ...

Uhm, I so hate this kind of thinking: "these days it's a bit like that, not enough that for these days, so not this one". The thing is that this poll is supposed to be with which one you like the most, not which one is better by today's standards.

Fuckin shit fkcindfsgiasdf. G2 is probably my favorite, but whenever I try to play the old Gothic's the .exe's just don't respond. Double click them aaaaanndd... nothing happens. I know for a fact that this has to have happened to a couple of you since I believe the problem is caused by emulation software i.e. Daemon Tools. But even though I've uninstalled DT and reinstalled G1 with my old CD's, same thing happens. Makes me QQ because I can't play my favorite RPGs Crying or Very sad

I know that Arcania is there just for the lulz

If you use Nvidia and are on Win7 64 or VISTA64, you should try the (2010.09.14) 260.63 beta driver available here:

Yes, 26 out of 52 pirates prefer Gothic 2, I bet that would work well.

Nah bro, I got a ATI HD5770. The funny thing is that I played Gothic 2 for like 2 hours a couple weeks ago before this problem appeared.

Gothic 2 because I played it first, 1 was really good but felt noticeably smaller
If Risen 2 is as big an improvment over the 1st as Gothic 2 is it should be great

Gave up on G3 after the desert section, I couldn't take it anymore Sad
