Arcania: Gothic 4 vs Gothic II
Arcania: Gothic 4
Arcania: Gothic 4 returns as the fourth and possibly the final installment of the Gothic series. This time, you take on the role of a nameless hero who just had his village destroyed by the king's paladins. However, as you set off on your quest of vengeance, you gradually realize that this event is driven by a malicious hidden power. The storyline is so much better in this installment due to the many surprises, plot twists and cliffhangers, and it does have a pretty nice combat system.However, many players put some flak to this game mainly because the game isn't exactly "Gothic" but pretending to be by using the "Gothic" name, but partly because the game does have some boring quests. That said, the game is still a pretty decent RPG.
Gothic II
Gothic II continues the storyline from the previous game where you were trapped in Mine Valley, a penal mining colony surrounded by a supposedly impassable magical barrier. You managed to make it out but unfortunately, the other more violent criminals took the opportunity to flee as well and are now causing havoc around the outskirts of the capital of Khorinis. The militia are overwhelmed and it is now up to you to lend them a hand.Like the game before it, there are tons of characters for you to interact with, each of them have their own daily routines; an arsenal of weapons and magical spells, as well as over 100 thrilling missions of varying difficulty to complete. If you've enjoyed the first game, you simply can't miss out on this one.
