Let me write what happened to me recently. I encountered a major gameplay mistake in Gothic 2 Gold. You MUST NOT solve Fernando's quest, while you're in Chapter 1, but leave it for when you're in Ch. 2. I thought it was a side quest, but it seems it was part of the main questline, and I got myself involved in it too early. (Maybe it shouldn't become available before its appropriate time, then, and the items concerning it should become available at the 2nd chapter??? I'm just saying). Then I couldn't proceed and solve the relevant main quest in Ch. 2. My playthrough was ruined. Such mistakes were very common in old RPGs. I was 50 h in, people.
So, I left it, to restart it another time (not in 2024 though), and I started the Two Worlds series. It will be my second time I play the series. Yes, they're such pleasant games, although Two Worlds 1 also has a same major gameplay bug (I had written about it in my review of the game, after my first time finishing it).
