Gothic is a magical series of games. I never played RPGs or RTS games, I remember saying as a kid "I don't play games with magic and swords". So while my friends played diablo, warcraft, neverending nights and stuff like this i'd play Duke Nukem 3D, Quake or Half-Life. Gothic however was the exception. It's hard to explain what's in it that made me like this game so much, but I'll try
It's an Action RPG, that means you don't just use mouse + few key shortcuts. You get third person perspective and walk with WASD and aim with a mouse like in a shooter. I also love the fact that you have 3 different ways of attacking. How does it work ? When you highlight an enemy and hold left mouse button you're in "combat mode" as I'd call it.Now you can attack in 3 different dirrections with WAD keys and block with S.
There's no level scalling, a wolf is always level 5 and will always give you 50 exp, you have parts of map that are populated with easy and hard monsters, so you can't just run around the whole map, well you can, but you're very likely to die. There are several fractions you can join and each opens and closes some doors to you, which gives you a reason to beat the game again. In fact, I think I've beaten gothic 1 and 2 about 10 times each. It's just a game I play once a year or so.
Is this shithole really already overrun by little kids that grew up on the 360/ps3 gen already?
Every PC gamer that isnt a casual retard has played this game

WHAT ABOUT EXPANSIONS PACKS ?
Gothic 2 got an expansion pack called Night of The Raven and I think most people play Gothic2 + NOTR instead of the vanilla gothic 2. And why wouldn't you ? This expansion doesn't replace the original game, instead it adds additional chapter in the middle of the game and adds TONS of new items, characters, skills etc… It's also much more harder than vanilla gothic 2. Some monsters were replaced with stronger counterparts, some skills take more skill points to learn (you get 10 points for each level up) I always had very hard time beating gothic 2 NOTR while vanilla gothic 2 is rather easy. I didn't play gothic 2 NOTR in over a year though, gotta try it soon (I'm almost done with G2 now)
There's a similar mod for gothic 1 called Mroczne Tajemnice (dark misteries in polish). This mod is probably even more advanced than NOTR. In vanilla G1 you have 3 fractions you can join, Old camp, New Camp and the Religious Camp on Swamp. In Dark Misteries you get 6 or 7. There are several new maps, there are completely new items such as helmets and shields (gothic only had armours) You can create your own spells and there's shit ton of new ones. It's a polish mod and I don't know if there's english translation, but I'll try to find it

What do you mean "already"? We've had idiots worshipping fucking Halo for years now. Even your so called "PC gamers" on Holla Forums are ex sreaming shitheads kids playing fucking counter strike everyone saw as nothing but a waste of skin back in the day.
Holla Forums is utter shit. It's nothing but ex console babbies that switched to PC and constantly try to prove how big their microdick is, and "PC" "gamurs" that only play shit games and only ever played shit games their whole life.

Maybe, but why the fuck not have it ? Besides, this game is very popular in Europe (at least in Germany and Poland) but most of Holla Forums is from USA

Also stop typing like a goddamn retard and learn proper grammar structure you shit for brains.
Aren't germanic north europeans supposed to be the chosen people or some shit like Holla Forums always says?
If that's the case then how do you explain this drooling baboon?

Halo is as old as Half Life, the turbo casuals that like that garbage were active even when cuckchan started
Just shows the state of this place when someone has to make threads about old good games trying to get the babys into them, otherwise they will just memepost to death.

Why are the controls and combat so clunky? Severance: BoD has vastly better combat, easily customizable controls, and item highlighting mechanic. Morrowind and Daggerfall have FPS controls. Why can't this?
Oh yeah, I remember my friend calling this game the european morrowind.
