Again, my main problems with G2 is that it's "Difficult" in a stupid way. Making the user experience cumbersome may seem like a hardcore game to some, but ultimately I found it simply annoying.

We're all just pushing pixels around the screen with this hobby. Why play something that you don't think is fun?

Like I said, play it without NotR. NotR doesn't marginally up the difficulty - it's on a completely different scale. Gothic 2 is actually quite easy on its own, and a good game. Not as good as NotR, but better than most of its kind, and nowhere near as punishing as NotR.
