You know I put off playing it for a long time because of the name.

My connotation of the name gothic seemed to mean something to do with gothic rock, or vampires. For some reason I assumed it was associated with black clothes and goth pop culture.

But no, the game was made in Germany obviously, and the German connotation of Gothic is the ancient tribes they all are descended from. It means, primitive barbaric tribes to a German. And thats what it is, three primitive tribes trapped together behind a magic barrier.

Anyhow its a great story and I felt like sharing that name story.

Gothic does need a 32 mb video card but it doesnt have the highest system requirements at all. Im sure it runs well on a 500 mhz.
