I really have enjoyed the continuation of the story and the world that was Gothic. Like in Gothic, the game is broken into six chapters – and you do not enter a new chapter as a culmination of a quest. If you have saved your game and don’t want to go to the next chapter you have an option, instead of not knowing if you are progressing in the right direction. The quest to return to the prison colony and get information is before chapter 2 in Gothic 2. Like Gothic, there are several options to solve quests. Not all the time as it seemed in Gothic though. One example is how to get into the city at the start of the game – there are several ways of doing it. Another thing that is nice, there are usually quite a few options to solve or complete quests or encounters.
