Retro Gaming: My First Steps in Gothic

How did my adventure with Gothic begin?

I was a young gamer who had so far stuck to the safe zones available on my ancient PC. But one day, I found a CD with a game from Piranha Bytes in a certain magazine and decided to try something new. And so, my journey as an outcast in the Mining Valley began.

First contact with Gothic

At first, I was completely clueless. The game didn’t tell me that I was chosen, destined for great things. I had to learn on my own. Right from the start, I encountered creatures that could humiliate me if I wasn’t careful. I was weak, lacking combat skills. I often had to check if I wasn’t dead. Wolves and bloodsuckers lurked in the forest. I tried to talk to the guards, but it always ended badly. I was defenseless.

Changing my approach to Gothic

After a few months’ break, I decided to try again. This time, I decided to delve into the more complex aspects of the game. I started working for one of the camps, performing small tasks. I noticed that the outcasts had their daily lives – they worked during the day and rested in their huts at night. I learned to watch out for the guards and not enter other people’s homes.
