Heh, I remember hanging out in the Gothic channel #wog on euIRC. We loved Gothic and even mentioning Morrowind if you didn't have at least voice was a no-go. :p
Then we got older and less childish and loved both games for what they are.
For me this is the best Elder Scrolls title. It's such a great sandbox game and I am so happy about the OpenMW project which lets me play this game on Linux.
Now we donce.
