Repetative in that you're constantly being killed because you didn't
learn the system?

I played Gothic 1 but my wife hadn't and I thought that was a big problem
with Gothic 2... the game pretty much presumed the player had played Gothic
1 and knew all the moves and how to fight (The weapon teachers in Gothic 1
would go into quite abit of detail on how to fight as you became an "Expert"
or a "Master" of 1 or 2 handed weapons)

Going by this thread It seems that playing G2 in any other way than the
"proper intended" is some sort of super-evil-crime..
GOTHIC 3 (or SHOULD that 'properly' be III) will perhaps be marked "For
Experinced RPG God-like players only" ..sounds like I have better keep well
away from it and the (say) 2 or 3 hundred people permitted to buy and
capable of playing it "Properly"...will people have to take some sort of
oath of good n proper RPG ing ??

My original point was that for the feeble RPG non-Godlike player Gothic 2
still is FUN ! (no wat that word means ?) played like an adventure game in
Godmode ..

Bah! In recent years developers have been steadily dumbing down
PC-games because whiny morons are constantly complaining that they are
too complicated for them. So, thank god, at least Gothic 3 and
hopefully Bioshock are going to offer a little more challenging
gameplay which is not designed with the lowest common denominator
approach.

There are shelves full of *FUN* games for you...
