Yeah, badly worded. I meant that Gothic 2 and 3 are similar to 1, which is true for the core gameplay. But of course Gothic 2 is basically exactly Gothic 1 with everything doubled. |
Gotcha. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Gothic 1 and 2 have the same game engine, and other than a slightly different fighting moveset, are pretty much identical from a gameplay perspective. Controls were modified to grant more mouse control, but that was about it. The first two games were also smaller. More like "open world but not really" as opposed to G3's truly open world. The first Risen game went back to more of an "open world but not really design", which I preferred slightly. I haven't really gotten too much into Risen 2 and 3 though. I suppose I should play and complete them.
I consider Gothic 2 to be the definitive Gothic experience. It was like the first game, but better. Only thing it had lacking was the cool "we're a bunch of prisoners under a magic dome" premise.
