MODERATORS
Gothic 1 and 2 (from 2001 and 2002 respectively) are still some of the best games I ever played. There is also a very active modding community, and some mods are even much better than the original game.
I tried out Gothic a couple of years ago for the first time and I thought it was amazing! Very old school and I didn't know what I was doing but those kind of games feel so alive. I was overwhelmed with all of the things to do. I didn't make it to far but have been thinking of trying it out again soon. I usually play games for the first time vanilla, but are there any mods you recommend for first time players?
Yes that's the charme of it, just like the player character you are thrown into this strange, brutal world and have to figure out how to survive. The beginning is difficult, but that makes it all the more satisfying later in the game when you actually become powerful.
Regarding mods, you should definitely get one for improved inventory, and there's also a DirectX 11 mod for better graphics.
