Gothic - Igiss - 10-24-2005
Did you ever play Gothic games from JoWooD and Piranha Bytes, Gothic or Gothic II? It's a German singleplayer RP game (there is an English translation of course), one of the first RPGs that had a NPC daily shedules and advanced physics right from the 1st part. It has 1st/3rd person view, like Elder Scrolls games, and great graphics. What makes it even closer to what Oblivion will be is a real-time combat system without rolls. And - Gothic III is scheduled for release in Q4 2005 (no exact date for now), so this game will be a direct competitor of Oblivion. As for graphics, it's different from Oblivion, but not actually worse...

I've never actually heard of it myself but it looks rather pretty actually. I don't think I will be getting it over Oblivion though :P
Gothic - Cap. Narnatonis - 10-24-2005
I've played Gothic II.
Scores from 0 to 5
Gameplay: 5
Graphics: 4
Sound FX: 4
Music: 4
Storyline: 6(!)
In the game, u have 3 possible classes Magician of Fire, Paladin or Dragon Hunter.
I've played most with the Paladin Class, that u can see below, wearin a Knight's Armor and a Blessed Ore Blade (One Handed).
[attachmentid=108]
The paladin has balanced skills, bein good at physical fight and arcane wisdom. He may wear the best armor in the game (The Paladin Armor).
P.S.: Sorry, I don't have anymore screenshots. I'll restart the game and get more, if someone wish.

I've read the controls are awkward, what do you think about them Narnatonis?
Gothic - Cap. Narnatonis - 10-25-2005
Well... The controls are kind o tricky... U have to hold ctrl to atack and release it to move again for evadin atacks... But, when u get used to it, bringin down an Orcish Elite Fighter (The worst enemy u can fight, in my opinion) becomes the most fun thing in the game... U can even do it in low-low levels... :P Just don't try to fight more than one of those things if u're not REALLY good... :crazy:
The weird controls system makes the game much more player-dependant, makin the skills somethin secondary... I liked that... (Of course that, this only aplies to close combat. Ranged is worthless whitout high skill levels :( ).
One more thing: this is the first game I've played where enemy human NPCs and Monsters have a great difference. Humans are like the main char, parryin atacks (somethin that makes the target suffer no damage :( ), evadin and even counter-atackin u just the way u can do. Monster can't be bloqued (unless they are Orcs) and don't block atacks (cause they are unarmed; once again, Orcs CAN block atacks), they just evade it gettin out of the way.
Gothic - Dark Diva - 10-27-2005
Never played it, though I've been hearing about it more and more. Looks interresting and seems to be a good deal diffrent from Oblivion... I nice change of pace maybe but not exactly competition since I didn't notice anything about it's being modable.
Gothic - Cecasander - 10-28-2005
I played the Gothic I demo a couple of years ago, but I choose in favor of Morrowind then.
Gothic - Ripper - 11-12-2005
Gothic is good but in morrowind you got more classes...but morrowind's buggy
