I played Gothic 2 without ever even having read about Gothic 1, and I enjoyed it perfectly fine.
It's not a flawless game, but it's pretty dang good, especially if you like robbing people blind. First time since Ultima 7 I really got my sneaking and plundering on good.
Generally any characters with a background in Gothic 1 you have a chance to ask them about the events of the first game and such, so you're not missing out on a lot.
