Yeah Stammer, Gothic 1 does have its advocates and they genearlly say what you say about 1 being more gritty than 2.
But I'm glad I played 2 first because then when I played 1, it was like going back in a time machine and looking at the past. I think I would have been a little sad if I played 1 first and then 2. For example weren't you sad when you saw one town was now the nest of a dragon. I, on the other hand saw the dragon nest first and then saw the town that exisited before. It was sorta neat.
Still, just quibbles ehh. Both Gothics are great and I believe have changed the way quality CRPGS are going to be made. Oblivion is going to have NPC with full schedules and one of the features they talk about is how you can overhear some of their conversations. While Gothic had these feature years ago, it was actully No One Lives Forever who first mastered the overheard conversation technique.
I can hardly wait for Oblivion and Gothic. It's too bad the Dungeon Lords folks weren't paying attention.
