Still one of the most immersive games I've ever played. PB's titles are far from perfect, but no one does exploration better.

Aye, such a great game. I see articles like this and it brings about an itch to start yet another replay.

I can't wait to play the remake version of Gothic and hope THQ Nordic fund development to remake the other games as well. Yes unpopular opinion but hey don't care.
As these games despite what fanboys say haven't aged well.

Still the remake wants to keep the same story but upgrade everything else.

Now there's a game in need of a graphics overhaul. It hasn't aged well.

I just noticed that the UI looks very much like in WoW. According to Wikipedia, this one was published first. Perhaps Blizzard devs were influenced by it or was it just the general spirit of looks the early 00s?

EDIT: Perhaps HUD is more correct term, although I never understood why is it called "heads up display". "User interface" makes more sense to me…
EDIT2: Ah, the name comes from airplanes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display . Makes sense now and even less sense for computer games.

Those damn goblin skeletons messed me up the first time I played. Every other time I played also.

I love G2 but I'm really having a hard time getting it to run well on my newest PC. I've tried the usual system pack/player kit and lately Spine but nothing seems to work. I have major audio problems and it's unstable. I'll keep trying though because I really want to play it again.

I remember it quite fondly from back then. It felt more "polished", especially with the dlc, than gothic 1, but on the other hand, it was quite generic fantasy, missing the more creative setting of the first part.
