The Gothic series has undergone big changes in recent times. For the first three iterations, the open-world role-playing fantasy franchise was for the PC crowd only. More specifically, it was built for the type of gamer that dislikes direction, catering more to those who liked making their own decisions, exploring and discovering new lands and mechanics at their own pace. It wasn't user friendly, but developed a strong user base, to the point where fans continued to patch the tragically underdeveloped Gothic 3 after developer Piranha Bytes had been moved on.
