Looking for a game like Gothic
- Thread starter DonSteve

I played the Gothic series and enjoyed them very much at the time. Also Two Worlds which was a great, but flawed, game.
Skyrim never grabbed me much either, although I loved Morrowind, and liked Oblivion.
I'd strongly recommend Witcher 3. IMHO it's the best of this genre yet made. Great stories, well designed. It has a sense of humour and at times is quite moving. It's on sale on Steam at the moment for $50, which includes the base game plus the 2 DLCs. DLC 1 is good, DLC 2 is amazing - almost doubles the content of the base game.

Took me a long time to get into Witcher 3 but now after countless of hours, I really see the game as one of the best of this century. Definitely not *the* best, but it's up there among the top 10.
Skyrim entered my life when things got really bad so I have a very strong emotional connection to Skyrim. Plus it pushed me in the PC gaming direction. Aka the right direction. xD
World of Warcraft has a lot of interesting lore if you really dive into it. And it can be quite addictive to play. Almost intoxicating.

take "Nehrim".
It's based on the Oblivion engine but has -nothing- to do with it.
I played Gothic 1/2/3, Risen 1/2 myself and I can promise that you will love Nehrim.
It's the same fun level - possibly higher (my opinion : it is a higher level - only Gothic 1 was the same)

As someone who Enjoyed all 3 Gothic Games.
The Latest Game I can Recommend to this End would be "The Witcher 3"

This looks AWESOME! Thank you very much! I`ll try it for sure.
Unsurprisingly, looks like it's German too...just like Gothic
Gotta look into this.
I could not find anything quite like Gothic 1/2 over the years though.
The makers of Nehrim, just released their total conversion for skyrim Enderal.
Fully voiced in german and english with some professional voice actors in it.

Warning german voice over english subbtitles.
End of july will be the english release.
Would definitely recommend the Witcher 3. Dark, violent and so dense. I completed the main story a couple of months ago, took me close to a year, as i had to move onto other games because I was playing nothing but that.
Dragons Dogma is solid and looked a very big game. My only issue was that it was very 'game-y', much like the Fable series.
I recently picked up all three Risen games in Humble Bundle sale and I'm led to believe they're very.. interesting.

Ah, that may be something I leave playing until I'm literally out of ideas then. Besides that, I'm pretty much obsessed with Pillars of Eternity, in terms of my 'go to' RPG at the moment!
Thought I'd wonder past this thread again and give a thumbs up to Enderal. Great mod! It still (1.1.0.8) has some English needing translating from the German, some expected, ropey voice acting and the usual Skyrim/Bethesda engine instabilities), but the land itself and questlines are interesting, with some good use of the engine scripting (e.g. observation of wildlife behaviour playing a part in a quest).
I have the XBox 360 version and the constant repeated phrases drive ya insane, every time you pass a point they have to utter the same phrase over and over again its daft.
