Gothic 2: Gold Edition

Gothic 2: Gold Edition includes the original game and expansion, combined into one edition. The action continues in the vicinity of Khorinis, where the hero again finds himself drawn into a showdown between the forces dividing the land. The world is open, but hostile: almost everything kills a weak hero, so the first hours are spent on survival and finding allies. The control system takes some getting used to, but the battle becomes meaningful: the direction of the blow and the moment are important. The add-on adds new regions and storylines, significantly increasing the volume. There are different factions that you can join, and this changes the flow of the game. Separately, we can say about factions: having joined one, the hero gains access to weapons and mentors, but loses the favor of others. In addition to the main task, there are side quests, crafts and exploration of the valley, as well as searching for teachers. Experience here is not given out as actions, but is bought: to become stronger, you need to find someone who will teach. The controls take some getting used to, but then the combat becomes meaningful. The add-on expands the map and adds a storyline, so the edition is considered a complete introduction to the game. The camps have different procedures, so the same act is perceived differently in different places. Weather and time of day affect the behavior of animals, so it is better to hunt at certain hours. Sleep and rest restore strength, so overnight stays in camp are part of the routine. For everyone who wants to get acquainted with the classic role-playing games, the publication provides a complete version.
