RagnarRox | A Love Letter to GOTHIC's Open World Design @RagnarRoxShow | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The trend of streamlined open world games these days makes me nostalgic for how games like Gothic and its brilliant sequel Gothic 2 approached open worlds back in the day.
I’ve been wanting to talk about this wonderful action RPG for a very long time, so here’s my most important reasons why Gothic’s open world design is still, after over 14 years since its release, amazing!
Both games can be purchased DRM-free on gog.com:
(I highly recommend GOG's version since it's better optimized for Windows 10)
Gothic 1: af.gog.com/game/gothic?as=1628879817
Gothic 2: af.gog.com/game/gothic_2_gold_edition?as=1628879817
In this video, I use a modded version of the two games, adding high resolution textures and Direct X 11 support to the games.
Check this video for details on how to install it (and skip the L’Hiver modification [Steap 2] if you don’t want the original map to be altered)
