I prefer to trust in my fighting abilities than in exploits. talking about orcs. shooting an orc from a ledge isn't effective. I rather kill him with a melee, altough it takes 5 or 6 tryes, but I can manage it. It isn't that hard, even at level 10 (in g2). |

Its only an exploit if you think of it that way.
In RL hunters use the weaknesses of animals all the time. If Orcs are too stupid to hide when you have a bow, or continualy climb up a ledge when you keep knocking them off, then thats just a weakness that the hunter is using.

I was talking about arrows, not melee. And I never said that about orcs. Actually, I just stay away from orcs till I know I can handle them, then I get all that experience. The VoM is a killfest when it comes to orcs.
Or in gothic 1, that orc village is nice, the first time I played I killed all the orcs by luring them off one by one, but Ur-Shak still wanted me to get the Ulu-Mulu, then the third time I played, I found a way to get from the free mine to the orc town by climbing over the mountin  . I killed all the orcs from ledges they couldn't reach!

| GothicI reminds me of "No Escape" |
|
Has anyone ever seen the movie "No Escape" (1994) starring Ray Liotta?
"A man commits a crime, and is dropped into a prison on an island in which he cannot escape." There are two camps on the island as well he can join, and he decides to go 'civilized'.
Heck, there's even a barrier on the island to so prisoners cannot escape. And there is even a guy who reminds me of mud in it! |

well remember escape from LA with kurt Russel?, and the sequel of that movie? So that movie is not the only one with those ideas, maybe the creators of the game stole the idea of one of those films

What I say what makes it unique in this day and age is, They put time and effort into it, I bet some of the guys went through some sleepless nights working on this great game. Unlike most game companies who huire alot of fancy graphic guys to make everything shiney and smooth and make a really short and shitty game, such as, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, The Bouncer and most playstation and XBox games. |

Getting to the actual question... I know it has been said several times already, however, the world is just so alive it amazes me. This was the first thing I really noticed about the game. I loved how you started off small and worked your way up. Nobody really cared who you were or why you were there until later, it was awesome. 
Gothic may have spoiled me now because it's so great; all I want is every RPG to have voices and personalities, and play out like this! Haha.
Gothic is ahead of its time really. It combines sort of like a "Sims" personality to the characters and places them into this world of role-playing, it's really great. This is the RPG that all RPGs should be judged by in my opinion. I will purchase anything made for Gothic, expansions, anything, just keep making them please. |

The Gothic music. It is always matching, partly breathtaking, and for me one of the reasons for the immersion in Gothic.
Up to now I know only one other game, where the music has influenced me like that (and so nicely), that is Deus Ex 1. |

The world and the interactiveness with it. I like the world itself, how it's made and how you can explore every piece of it and secondly the way you can interact with everything, with the world, the npc's, the objects. That's making the game so good, in combination with the story.

It's called "Escape from Absolom". And to Titus First one is Escape from NY, the second is escape from LA.
On topic: I liked the story development, but that's not the only reason. Like mentioned before: the music is never boring, the world is alive and in a way realistic(although not completely -> kids. But in Gothic 3 I'll bet those small changes are made too.), the amount of quests and the liberty to solve them. Best was that you always have some overview. Voice acting is also very important for me.(Didn't like Morrowind for that reason.) The night/day shifting. The believable creatures.

I played Gothic 2 first if that matters. What stands out to me, of all the wonderful things in these games, would have to be the ebb and flow of the world. As I said in another thread, it has a certain authenticity that I don't remember being so immersive in any other game. Active NPC's that don't just sit around waiting for a lifeless dialog, but instead are going about their lives doing all sorts of different things with nice animations. Which ties into the interactiveness of the world. It's incredible. The AI possibilities are crazy for future Gothic games.
I also have to say it's one of the few games that makes me laugh. And I'm a fairly monotonous guy... |
