Just finished...my new favorite game of all time!
   

Well, I finally finished it up. I was taking my time since the game was so enjoyable. I think my final level was 28 or so. Fallout 1 and 2 used to be tied as my favorite game but Gothic has now replaced them due to being 3d and giving more of a feeling of being there.

I'll disagree with most people's sentiments that the first few chapters were the best part of the game. I much more enjoyed the second half of the game when you become a near immortal. Even the character's demeaner adjusts accordingly to his growing power. I thought it was a poor design decision to make you solve a quest with a piece of equipment you may not even have like the bow in the sleeper's temple. I focused on Swords and strength and never once used a bow or raised dex...until then that is. Still...that's kinda like saying you didn't like the types of nuts they used on your sundae...it's still pretty damn good

I was sorta surprised how easy the last battle was. Cor Calum's magic barely even left a mark. I lured the last three demons up to the top of the stairs and let them get peppered with the sleeper's fireballs while I beat on them. The ending sorta sucked and I would have loved seeing a Fallout type ending where it goes through and tells you how it all worked out with everyone else but oh well.

I will eagerly count the days until Gothic 2. Hopefully it makes th projected October release!

I recently finished it too. I found Cor Kalom, the obsessed novices, and the apocalyptic templars extremely easy to win. Two hits, and they were gone. They could hardly scratch me. Perhaps it was because I was level 37... The poor Cor Kalom fella didn't even have a chance to awaken the Sleeper.

The fanatic templars were much more difficult for me, perhaps because I didn't have the improved ore armor when fighting with them.

I prefer chapters 1-3, where there's a lot of roleplaying and there's still a lot to see in the world. Plus, the camps are more populated, making it much easier to kill a few NPCs and create a confusion there.

I have completed the game a lot of times, and I agree; the first chapters are the best ones(because they are non-linear).

The last fight is pretty hard if you are an archer or something. It all depends on how much time you spent running around killing things in the forest(gaining levels).

Congrats for finishing the game. I agree that the ending isn't that attractive. I enjoyed more in sending Ring of Deaths to the novices and Cor Kalom, watching them glow in purple color, and then all the novices fall at the same time. What a wonderful scene!

Do you go right? Or do you go left? A simple decision, yes? No ambiguities. Only the dream of the path not taken! And so one might stand in this place and contemplate for a long while. What will I miss if I go left? What will I lose if I go right? And in my indecision, have I chosen a worse fate?

He might also mean the rice fields in the New Camp.

Nah, he's just throwing "ME" off of the scent to his secret fields that he doesn't want burnt, just yet.
