Gothic 3 or Neverwinter nights 2

Gothic 3 is the better game. Think Oblivion, but more focused on exploration, more impact and consequence for your actions, better variety of areas and cultures. I personally havent experienced many bugs, and theres a new community patch that addresses a LOT of the quest bugs.

The only thing that Gothic 3 is pretty poor at is it's combat system. The way around this is to become either a mage or archer character. It's the melee combat thats very sketchy.

Of the two (and both are great games), in my opinion, Gothic 3 is the better game. Nevertheless, it's plagued by a number of bugs, and official patches are not likely to come out at all, due to the developer having a number of issues to settle with the publisher.

THe way I see it is like this:

Oblivion and Gothic 3 are both RPG-action hybrids set in a fantasy setting. Imo, Oblivion is a better game both in quality and gameplay. Gothic 3 might have better RPG components, but if the RPG components matter that much to you, then you should problably get a more traditional RPG such as NWN2.

So, if you want a more action-oriented RPG, go with Oblivion. If you want a more traditional RPG, go with NWN2. And avoid Gothic 3, its a very annoying game. The sheer amount of grunts your character makes every fight will drive you nuts!

Oh, in short, NWN2 is better.

NWN2 is even buggier, but NWN2 is better.

NWN2 isnt bugged, it is just horribly optimised. Just turn off water detail and set shadows to low and it will run just fine. Well, I guess thats actually a bug so nevermind.

i've played all nwn series..and and i must say that is not in my top 10 rpg.maybe because playing baldur's gate first,icewind dale 1,2,nwn didn't fit in the picture beeing "the next".the graphic ask sooooooo much.i couldn't run it to max,but how good can it look?i dont want super graphics..i want a good story and a good gameplay... bugs,well i had no pb. gothic 3,well i didn't play it,saw my boyfriend playing ita lot of time and all can i say:the world doesn't limits u like nwn,u can explore a lot,what u do affects the world,all the speach between your character and the NPCs is spoken, which is a really nice but if i'm start thinking of exploring ,races,cities, ruins..bla bla... i would recomend oblivion.all are good games,so if u prefer the d&d way try nwn,if not,try gothic
