I didn't want to start a new thread, and found this one for the most appropriate for my question.

Well, I have just bought Gothic II - Gold edition, since it was quite cheap etc., well, doesn't matter.

My question is, should I install and play only original, and only after finishing the original install the extension pack (and start all over again), or are the changes and add-ons in extension so good introduced that I should install and play both at once?

To define my question in more details: will the extansion pack change the storyline of the original so drastically, that it is worth to play it twice?

Thanks.
