No, it's about five times better!

Easily one of the best RPG's i've played.

I wasn't a big fan of RPG's untill I played Gothic II, i totally fell in love with it and was addicted for weeks. I especially liked the voice acting, which morrowind hadn't.

These screens look amazing, these orcs look ten times cooler than before.

I would really like to see those screens in high res, can't really judge the quality of the textures from those tiny shots.

Gothic 2 had the best environments of any RPG to date - shame that Das Necht De Raven never made it to English (!)
Looking forward to G3 - just hope combat is easier Razz

Pre-E3 Teaser Movie:


World of Gothic link

Worthplaying link


Also Night of the Raven might come to us in english voices (subtitled in french): Dagon's Lair
So with some patching and the subtitlemod you will have a full english game or maybe Jowood will find another publisher who will do the full english version when the contract with atari expires Very Happy

I wouldn't be too pessimistic about this coming out on a console. Gothic's interface is pretty simple, and could easily be mapped to a console controller. Any limitations that are placed on Gothic 3 will likely be caused by time or the designers themselves, not the console. I wouldn't worry too much about the designers purposefully "consolifying" the game either. Remember, Morrowind came out on XBox too.

BTW, someone mentioned the Gothic 2 addon being translated finally. Well, World of Gothic recently did an interview with some people at Jowood, and they suggested that Jowood itself would take over publishing for an English version of it. I think they're talking about an actual English version (no French subs or anything) because the French, Spanish, etc. versions of the game are being done by other publishers. So that's pretty good news.

gothic 2 was one of the best rpg's it had a great story good gameplay good enouph graphics and did not give an impression that it was linear.

morrowind was crap compared to this, this was what morrowind should have been as in this there was something to do all the time whilst in morrowind most of your time was spent going through featureless terrain.

i am looking forward so much to no.3 as no good rpg's coming out anytime soon.Sad

anyways i dont want to make a new thread about this but can someone template one for dragon age which is hopefully going to be the new bauldurs gate 2, i miss black isle so much Crying or Very sad

As if G3 is comming out soon...

I seriously wouldnt expect this game till late 2006, maybe 2007. I think TES 4 or DA have more chance of comming out before this game does.

Anticipation makes the meal that much sweeter ;-P Seriously though Gothic II had the best environment of any RPG to date with some *fantastic* monsters - black troll anyone?

This is great news.. one thing i hope they get right this time is the voice acting!

Hearing ridiculous Chicago accents in a medieval game world was laughable.. and spoilt the entire game for me so i didnt even bother completing it

Its a German company.. so why not use German or other European actors?

Yeah the monsters in Gothic 1-2 were really great, much better designed than the ones in Morrowind. Too bad there are no werewolves or vampires though, you kinda expect to see that with a name such as "Gothic", but maybe that's just me heh...

Actually what i meant by my post was Germans speaking English in the game.. not speaking German.. why oh why they had those insipid annoying American accents is anyones guess.. spose they got the crappy actors cheap or something Very Happy

1 of the best times I had in G2 was at night when you had to go up North to the forest altar for some mission, & in the distance I could see these purple lights as the cultists were doing their ritual - really creepy & loads of atmosfear. Only bad thing about the game was the combat - any pack of monsters would rip my character up real quick. G3 lloks *great* & I hope we get that "Night of the Ravne" expansion beforehand which gives us 'pirate missions' or something - sound *great* :-O

I loved sneaking at groups of monsters, split them of, and take'm out one-by-one Very Happy
Cost a lot of time, but the thrill is great... Gothic isn't about fast-paced
Hack'n'Slay. You really have to plan your attacks.
The Fighting-System makes Gothic so unique Smile

I found it almsot impossible to do when the bunch of orc warriors warped in - they centred around an orc chieftain you had to kill - I had like 6 orcs beating the crap out of me & even with the ultimate armour got slaughtered in 5s !!
Still some great mo's - another good un' was the tower where you had some demon mages doing their spells - they were *awesome* Smile
