OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

[Boron]

yeah gothic , especially gothic 2 is really nice .

one warning though :
the gothic series has almost zero replay value . you play as a single character and you can chose from only 3 different classes and all 3 are similiar . it is like diablo 1 with classes . A mage can still fight but not as good as a fighter and a fighter can still cast spells but not as good as a mage .

so you play it normally only 1 time through . gothic 2 is not too long but once you start you want to continue until the end . the feeling is really real and the great graphics enchant it .
in no other rpg i felt almost like i am the character i play .

you may go everywhere from the beginning but you have to follow mostly 1 strict path because the other ways you may go there but they are blocked by too strong monsters .

so if you buy gothic 2 you will be entertained for 50-150 hours depending how many sidequests you do and if you explore everything of the world or not . but after that there is almost zero replay value .
oh and in the beginning until you are familiar with gothic 2 it is rather hard but the Last 1/3 is way to easy .


another nice rpg : grandia 2 . the story is great .
if you like japanese anime films give it a try .
it is now budget Version so only 5-10€
