Gothic 1 – under the sphere

 

So, it was over a steam sales, about a sometime ago. With my new PC – it is first such sales. So, it is a special event for me.


I take a lots of games. So, also a retro games. So, I take by sales Gothic. A whole pack. First three parts.

So, it is some connection with first gothic. So, I have remembered, how my brother buys this game, a very good edition with this game. So, it was two cd. And game do not run at Pentium 2 machine. So, it should be not enough of 8 mb video memory. And, game can be started - but too much freeze. Too much to play. And, it is a good to see from a first sigh, that it is a 3d role playing game. Everything is in full 3d. And, I guess, it is very well-done game with a big details. Some world under a magic sphere. It is everything I know. And as it is in good role playing game - everything has some details – dialogues, battles. And I heard, that game has its own way of control hero, very specific control.

 

And, now I have already in my steam collection three parts of Gothic. I start first one. And I like its graphic from a first time. It is good enough. So, I think, it was added resolution for steam and maybe something else. But it looks rather good. Graphic is beautiful. World is interesting. So, it is a thing, I can say at once.

We are sent with special message into the world under a magic sphere. It is a prison. But, as idea, it is a world. There are some camps here. And, lots of place for adventure, as I get it. It is standalone government is there under the sphere. Better to say, three fractions. So, I think, there are three fractions there. In this place, they get ore from mines and some stuff and send it to the upper world. Above magic sphere. And from upside - all goods are going in exchange. It is a logic.

It is started with a road. And you can look around. Big map. And we go through mountains, there is some little plain. And you can get that game has a big world. And with details to explore. You can do different things. You can collect grass, search items, check chests. There is iron sword near a tree, you can take it.  If to look carefully. I do not find it at first time. Explore - it is a big part of a game.

And I am surprised with dialogs. They are very variative. Lots of information you can get from them. They are with voice. And even with Russian voice. It is a very big level of details in the world. It is not surprise, that Gothic was a very popular game. And it is a legend of role playing games. For those, who likes details in game with talks, explore and battles. Like Fallout 2, Baldur’s Gate. Every such game is good in its own way. And Gothic is done – by its own way. And it is interesting to explore what is going on here.

And we meet two hunters. And you can speak with them. To ask questions. They ask for items in exchange with advices. They can teach you skills. And some ostrich something like enemies. Rather simple enemy. You can get some experience. As it should be in a complex RPG.  World is amazing.

So, later we are in a camp. So here we have even more to speak. Characters. You can speak almost with everyone. And several of them will say to you something valuable or interesting. So, it is already going quests, some small quests. Some, they have in a camp - some mysterious swamp humans. Ktulhu something, they have in a swamp.  And I am in camp near a castle. And there is fraction, that select as a god, they worship some swamp creature. And they can see it in their dreams. And everyone thinks that these people from swamps are mad.

There is change of day and night. Very smooth. And I even do not take into account, that I was already in the night time.  So, I can say, that my first attempt was you see the game. Game is big. With its own fantasy medieval.
