I tried Gothic II a while back, but I found it to be very difficult and I stopped playing it. From what I read, the expansion did make it very hard, and the version on GOG includes the expansion. Hopefully the first game won't be as bad!
It's better to play Gothic 1 first anyway, because Gothic 2 is a direct continuation of the Gothic 1 story. Most people like Gothic 2 better, but most people agree Gothic 1 has the better atmosphere.
