Gothic II for PC is a sequel to one of the best action role-playing games - 2001's Gothic. As previously, the story in Gothic II is set in a fantasy world, and it continues the plot of the original game. Evil forces embodied by a wide set of monsters, orcs and orges, all of them led by dragons, are constantly fighting humans. In this game, the player explores more than just the Valley of the Mines isolated from the rest of the world with a magical barrier. The action takes place in a variety of diverse locations, such as the harbor town, the island of dragons, a castle besieged by orcs, libraries or farms. The players familiar with the original game will have an opportunity to revisit certain areas as well. The gameplay remains almost unchanged. However, adequate improvements were made, for example, the protagonist can now become also a henchman, a dragon hunter or a magician. There are new guilds and abilities the main character has, like brewing potions for example.
