Should I play Gothic 1 now or wait for the remake?

Started the original last night and I fucking HATE IT. Worst game ever!!!!!!

Nah jk, just about an hour in and can already tell I'll love it. Voice acting is much better than I expected (except the main character lol). Gonna dive into it more today for a few hours. Got it working on my ultrawide so that's nice.

The way to interact is so weird though. I've never played a game that does that before. I really like the idea of actually opening chests, actually lying down etc (reminds me of Blue Farenheit/Heavy Rain) but it was really unintuitive at the start, had to good how to do anything. Mouse seems kinda pointless, so it feels a bit odd to play a game basically one handed haha.

That's just a small thing though and part of the era too so I don't mind it. Wouldn't mind a mod that updates the controls to something more standard but I was already used to it by the end of the hour anyway.
