A great expansion to expand the Gothic universe more, while lacking harder challenges it makes up for it in content and explorations. A good expansion to get if you enjoyed the original, highly recommend to get this along with gothic II to get a full complete feel of it

Night of the Raven is a direct addon to Gothic II which is to say it adds content through out the whole game opposed to just slapping on an extra end game quest. Because of the way the new content is weaved into the whole game it's almost required for you to restart to see it all, is that bad? Not at all, rarely is there so much work put into an expack. This is a must for anyone getting Gothic II, but know I'm a sucker for DLC. All and all, an addon you won't feel used for getting. A must get for Gothic lovers.

The first Gothic was good and the second chapter of the saga was great. With this "add-in" it's simply one of the best and toughest RPG I've played and believe me, I've played a bunch. I use the term add-in as the content is seamlessly embedded in the story of the game thus needing you to start "fresh". But be assured it's worth your time and it'll gobble a huge amount of it...Indeed, it took me around 90 hours or so to complete the adventure. I did took my time, side-quested and explored all the nooks and caves of the game world. The add-in will grant you a complete new area to explore, new gear and enemies. But beware, it'll also crank up the difficulty level and cost of skill learning. I won't get in the detail of the storyline has it's somewhat complex but you'll get to see some old acquaintance of the original game and get a chance to join some new “guilds”. Owners of the gold version of G2 won't need to buy this as the expansion is obviously included. Final word, absolutely great and highly recommended but NOT for the faint of heart. If you easily get frustrated by a tough (almost brutal) game, stay away. A quick tip, save often because you'll die often.
