I would love to play a modern Gothic 1.
Now we're talking! This would reduce costs significantly I'd assume; you'd have your level designs, dialog, story, etc all sorted.
But they'd f*ck it up somehow I'm sure. No way they'd resist the urge to overhaul the combat for example, and that's one of the things I love about G1 & 2.
I just talked myself out of the idea.
