I agree to try out the demo first.
I think Gothic's combat is alot more intuitive than Oblivion's click, click, click, block, click, block fest. Its more like press button, press button, block, press button, block
Once someone gets used to the controls (and it doesnt take that long if you keep working with it) its not a bad system. I gave up on it the first time I played Gothic I, but came back to the game, kept with it for alittle while, and it became one of my favorite all-time games once I finished it. The one thing that is kind of bad in Gothic I/II is the inventory system, but even that is not a deal breaker by any means. Another thing is that character customization isnt very deep, but the story, free form feeling, and NPC's make up for that.
