Came here to post this. I agree that they are some of the best RPGs of all time.

I think the graphics still hold up because they fit the atmosphere so well. The only reason why it's hard to recommend is the combat system.

Have you played Risen 1 from the same devs? It's probably my favourite game of all time. Also, I've heard that "The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos" mod is great.

Archolos is very good - it adds a lot while sticking close to the OG Gothic experience. My biggest objection to it is that as of right now it is only available with Polish voices, and I miss the crappy EN voice acting of the originals :( but that's hardly fair given the amount of work that went into it. If you have the time, and love Gothic 1-2, you should definitely give it a shot.

I played Risen 1 and 2 a long time ago and recall them scratching some of the same itch, albeit not quite as good. Just saw there was a third entry which I never played
