Just my impression!
   

Hi!
I’ve just ended for my first time this amazing game and I want just give my own consideration.
Great product! It gives to the videogames world a great amount of innovations,first of all the great freedom you can sense wanderin’all around the colony!
Two things I can consider they could better:first of all the enemies who respawn very slowly(I can image that it’s only to improve the reailism,but sometimes I feel very bothering without encounter anybody during my journeys).
The second point is the ending:like someone yet said it’s not so great,or at least they could consider the opportunity of fighting directly the Sleeper.
However these’re only some tears in a full-of beauty lake( )
The very important thing is that I enjoied myself so much that I think I'll re-play it soon[actually I can't belive that this game was able to interrupt my daily ration of DaoC() for all a month long!)]

Well,that's all folks

Bye

Yeah the ending was unspectacular. I have a feeling that the devs were probably at the limits of their budget. I really wanted to see the barrier actually collapse...

... All is not lost though... they could make Gothic II start with a nice cinematic of the barrier collapsing...

As for not being able to fight the sleeper directly... I kinda liked it for two reasons. 1) It was very unique. Most games in this genere end with a confrontation with the 'big bad guy.' But in Gothic, you can't fight the 'big bad guy' directly - which I think was very interesting. 2) The ending remained consistent with the lore provided about the sleeper throughout the game. I found this refreshing. It was also funny to get too close to the sleeper and then fall asleep yourself.

Maybe we'll get to witness the fall of the barrier in the G2 intro!

I just finished as well. I really enjoyed this game too. I'm looking forward to Gothic 2.

I wish I would have had to fight the Sleeper in the end, maybe with the help of that nice Orc Shaman. I liked him.

I think I finished most of the quests but I kept waiting to find out more about the meeting between Milton, Diego, et al. Did I miss something?

I also wish they would have included the barrier coming down and everyone being able to leave in the end sequence but other then that, this was a great game.

After I get done with Wizardry 8, Dungeon Siege and Summoner 2 (if it comes out on time) I'm going to play again as a spell caster.

Thanks everyone for helping me with my questions.
