Hey, everyone. It's been quite some time since I've posted anything here. What have I done in this time? Lots of stuff. I reactivated my WoW account and have a 64 Undead Rogue on Uldum. I don't play him much anymore, because I've been playing Gothic 2, though.

Speaking of which, this is an amazing RPG, that at times can be frustratingly difficult. That's not to say it's not worth a play, though. Give it some time, and it really gets to be more fun. One interesting thing of note is that all of the enemies in this game don't do that annoying "blitz rush" thing that you see in a lot of games. Each enemy class (skeletons, humans, orcs, etc.) have a unique fighting style. For example, you must use a different tactic when fighting bandits, and orcs, or you'll get yourself killed a lot (I would know :P). I find it really fun to learn the different tactics of enemies, and take advantage of their weakness. It's not all that often that you see that in an RPG of this style.

It's also a fairly "open ended" game, in it's own way. You will die a lot if you don't stay in the areas where you belong, but there are sometimes several ways to finish a quest (help the guy, or kill the guy, each with it's own consequences). To find a lot of these seperate paths you can't really stick to the "good guy" path, though. Which sometimes will end up with giving up one quest for another.

This is a game that any RPG fan should play. And why not? I got the Gold Edition (Gothic 2, and the expansion: Night of The Raven) for 10 bucks on EBay a year or two ago. If you're not sure if you will like it, you can pick up the demo off GameSpot, or whatever your favorite download site is. It allows you to play the first 1/6 or so of Act I. Anyway, I'll see you all later, I'm off to play Gothic 2.
