Well, it's nice to know Halo 2 is coming to the PC. After Halo 1's SP being mediocrity at best, yet the MP-side was actually good, it's nice to know another console hit is swinging our direction. More reasons to not buy an X-Box or 360 = more of their hit XBox or 360 games getting PC ports.

Now, about it going to Vista -- so be it. I wasn't thrilled w/ Halo 1 PC, so I feel the same about Halo 2. I'll just wait until I get Vista, which will probably be when Halo 2 hits the Bargain Bin, a few years down the road from now.

Vampire: BL is the best RPG I've played since Planescape and Morrowind.

More hot keys for spells would help, too.

Yeah, I played G1 and G2 as they were, out the box -- since there were no USA/English Patches out there, even when I looked all over the Net.

I did hit a roadblock w/ G2, where I had to jump back like 2 or 3 saves b/c a key character died who I needed to talk to, for actually finishing one of the main quests -- at least in Morrowind, they let you know that "A key character died, so keep playing in this broken world or reload to a save before this character's death so you can finish the main quest."

Some other silly mistakes too, like certain quests didn't update as finished in my Journal Log when I finished them.

Still a good RPG. At least I never had any saves corrupt or data corruption or anything, like some other games have done to people in the past.

I'll also add that G2 has an Expansion out called Night of The Raven and a Mod Kit in German, which have not made their way to the US. And the way Atari's going w/ supporting for US Version of G2, after unfortunately lousy sales, we'll likely never see the expansion.

It's a shame that the expansion was not released in the USA -- even w/ just having subtitles and it was kept it its original language would've been nice. It's good that some fans made a Mod for the actual G2: Night of The Raven (German version) where they translated the game's German audio into English subtitles to pop-up on screen for those who actually will try and buy the German version of G2:NOTR. Though, from what I read, sounds like a hop, skip, and a jump to install the German version of G2:NOTR over the US Version of G2.

So, yeah -- Atari should've marketed G2 better and definitely had better support for the game.

I've finished both G1 and G2. I really liked G1 better, overall -- Gothic 1 was great. G2 had its share of improvements (as well as its share stumbles), but it was not as good & as fresh as G1.

Still, Gothic 2 was a very good game.

I can't wait to see what Pirahna has planned for G3.
