Gothic, well-crafted and open-ended? surely you are joking. i've beat Gothic and it was an extremely sloppily-designed, closed-ended game. for the first chapter you are constantly getting beaten over the head with the complete and utter blatant lie that you get a choice about the story; when in reality there is no choice whatsoever. as a result, the "plot" ends up making no sense whatsoever (ie: no matter which clan you join; you end up doing the same exact jobs for rival clans who are the enemy of the clan you are in)

a few years ago, i had wrote a fairly large manifesto about why Gothic is a bad, closed-ended, sloppily-designed game. that's how disappointed i was because everyone was hyping it as the best thing since sliced bread, but in reality it fell way short of doing anything spectacular.
