CJ_Parker i scorrect but I am not sure he was clear.
Just turn off Gothic 1 Controls in the Options menu, then no more pain in the ass especially for beginners of this system.
If you get the hang of it and want to try Gothic 1 controls then you can and know you could go back.
The major problems with reviews was the Instruction Manual which did NOT mention turnning off Gothic 1 controls and was set to Default, which killed the reviewers just trying Gothic for the first time.
Don't kill yourself over this just try it without GOthic 1 first so you can see what a great RPG this is arguably one of the best fantasy RPGs to date.

Not sure what yoru refering to but the Gothic Gold we are speaking of is the US version and the just announced Gothic 3 will be in English but it is the UK English version releasing on 10/12, the US English version is not due for another 30 after that as I understand it.
All Gothic games come in English.
