Many will say that if you haven't played Elders Scrolls Oblivion or Skyrim you dont know what an RPG means. If you want an rpg that you won't get bored of it, wont feel like you do over and over again the same thing then you definitely wont chose Bethesda's masterpieces. Although that many of the so-called gamers don't even know their existence Gothic games are by far the best of the genre and you will soon discover why.
Realistic Exploration
In Gothic when you want to track down a quest you track down a quest! and not by simply pressing "X" and chasing a dot on the minimap and you know why? because there is no minimap! You have to find it yourself by exploring the wolrd around you depended on the rumors you collect along the way! I dont want someone to take me by the hand and lead me to the quest's goal, if thats the case then i could use a walkthrough on youtube. The purpose is YOU to do all the necessary exploring! Play one quest like that and then you will see what feels better! It is supposed to be a fucking fantasy medieval game.
Real Time Healing/Looting
Remember all those western rpgs where you are during a battle your health drops dramatically and you just paused heal and unpause?! Really you noob?! Are you the only clever in your family or you have a twin?! Gothic gives you plenty ways and items to be healed but you have to do it like you would in a real fight, you have to run away from the enemy enough so you have the time to open the inventory select the healing item and heal yourself!
No Loading Times
Many wrpgs are designed that way so every time you enter a house it loads to show you the interior. In gothic you dont have such inconveniences. You enter a hut just by passing through the door simple as that, you dont have a loading screen to spoil the fun every now and then!
Improving Weapon Handling
As you progress through the game and become more proficient at several things you can see the changes on your hero. At the beggining when he is totally noob at anything he weilds even a small sword by clumsy grabbing it with his two hands. As you go further in the game, he becomes more familiar with it as he grabs it with one hand changes his body stance etc.
Learning Skills
I've been sick of rgps that you gain a level and some ability points and just apply them to your character attributes. In gothic you need to find important people, each one being specialized in something, and then get them to teach you what they know. There are teachers for swordsmanship, use of bow, use of acrobatics etc. and they teach you stuff by actually explaining things to you through dialogs How cool is that?!
Many Ways To Fight Enemies
The choice board there is really big, you can actually do anything even take down a pretty big fella that in a hand to hand combat
you d be wasted. You can climb on rocks unreachable to 4 legged monsters and kill them with bows , you can sneak behind them, you can put them to sleep with spells etc etc...
Many Way To Complete Quests
And those ways are not implied by anyone most of the times, you have to find them yourself. And the attractive part is that sometimes they feel quite natural like for example when at a quest you have to steal a document from a house the choices are many you have kill the owner in his sleep, you cant talk him out of keeping the document, you can put him to sleep with a spell and steall it or you can just grab it outside of the window!!
Everything Is Killable
Everything in Gothic's world especially in the 3rd game is killable, every NPC has a standard life bar that can be consumed, literally anything you can see moving can be killed from slaves to bosses and even pigs. Whatever you kill, stays dead, there are no respawns. Lets say that you kill an important NPC? well the game doesnt stop there just do what you must to continue in some other way your game.
Everyday Routines
One other amazing thing about gothic is that every NPC character seems to have a daily routine. They wake up in the morning, do their daily choirs talk to other guard passages and when the night comes they go back to sleep. This thing alone creates a realistic feeling that there is normal life everywhere around you!
People Watches Their Stuff
Everyone in the game mind their belongings. Lets say you enter a house and the owner is out sitting on a bench or by the campfire they immediately get up and warn not to do anything stupid.! And thats totally normal isn't it! Imagine you are hanging in the backyard with a friend and a stranger dude barges in your house .. what do you do?
Liberate Cities
The main plot around Gothic 3 is that the humans have lost the war to the orcs and there still are some rebels that they dont want to accept that and work underground to rebel against them! So, one of your many choices is that you can actually go to slaved cities and persuade the people to rebel and exterminate the whole population of this city and take it back!
Build You Reputation
If you go through a camp and you are just a stranger noone will trust you to give you lets say their armors and stuff. You have to work your way up do some choirs for them prove your worth and then you can be a trustworthy fella and join their cause!
