Re: Fare Thee Well, Piranha Bytes

That summed it up, basically they were releasing the same meta story over and over again in different settings there simply was a lack of development, what was top notich in 2001 simply did not work anymore in their 6th and 7th game.
The meta story setting fantasy or sci fi fantasy, work your way up one of the fractions and then go for the bad guy once you have worked your way through the fraction!
If they would have deviated from this meta story after lets say 3 games they still would exist very likely or would have gained a higher status than they have.
I loved the first two gothics, especially G2 had the vibe of an Ultima 10 which we never got!
But time has moved on, they did not!
