Gothic 1 takes players to the lands of the kingdom of Myrtana, ruled by Rhobar II. Here in the action adventure, people suffer from constant attacks from Orcs. In order to gain at least some advantage in battle, the king opens the extraction of magical ore from the island of Khorinis to create powerful weapons. Various prisoners were sent to the mines, regardless of their sins. As a defense system, Rhobar calls upon the strongest magicians who must make the Barrier, but their work misfires, and a much larger territory is separated. As a result, the country is left without ore, and the ruler offers the convicts an exchange for food and resources.The protagonist of Gothic 1 is a prisoner who is asked to convey a secret message from the magicians to his comrades beyond the Barrier. Ahead of the user is a dangerous and difficult path, during which his ward will try to destroy the Barrier and stop the cultists who were working to revive the ancient evil. In the process, the character will have to explore the island of Khorinis, killing monsters along the way, as well as completing various tasks taken from NPCs. Gradually, the protagonist opens new spells, gets more powerful weapons and equipment to get the opportunity to defeat strong enemies.Fights take place in long-range combat - with a bow, magic, crossbow, or in close combat.

At first, the hero is nobody - a nameless, poor convict who needs to fight his way through, but soon, after completing tasks, the guy joins the faction, gets his first money, experience, reputation, equipment. Having found a teacher, the player masters the skills of using weapons. Experience is awarded for killing enemies and completing tasks, after which it is pumped up, increasing the level, earning 10 skill points, and additional health.
