I also enjoyed Both Gothic Games, though I did have to break my bad
Morrowind habit of pressing my keyboards "Space Bar" when trying to talk
to someone, since that causes your Gothic character to draw his weapon
which can cause friendly characters to defend themselves! <L> I found
and ordered both of my Gothic games from www.GoGamer.com their prices
are good and they also stock some European games that are too Graphic
(R-Rated) or Bloody for American game company's to produce/sell here...
If you want to try something different, try Freelancer by Microsoft,
it's a GREAT Space RPG! Like Morrowind, it's open ended with a huge
area to explore, it's Very Easy to play, and there are plenty of Great
Mods for it... If you're interested but you can't find Freelancer at a
local store that sells computer games, www.GoGamer.com or some other
online store should have it in stock at a reasonable price.
That's my 2¢,
