What players say
Very enjoyable game, solid 8/10. I played NotR for my first playthrough which was... a VERY rough start my God. Imo enjoyed this way more than Gothic 1 Remake, and I should maybe give the original a try at some point. Things of note: - Game will physically NOT cap at 60fps in windowed mode unless you get the DX11 patch. So definitely get that. - While some patches are included here, union is not. You should install...

A little buggy (Marvin saved me a couple of times), and definitely old, but still one of my favorite RPGs of all time. There is something about going from a wimp who can be killed by a large rat to an uber Demi-God that can defeat all comers, even Dragons! I played the Gothic 1 Remake and just had to have more Gothic, so played this game as well. Recommend the mod that provides quicksaves and also used the Union mod...
