My favorite little detail about Gothic is that the nameless protagonist actually has a name. Just nobody lets him say it.

The exact same way guards how approach him for "protection money". I wonder how it sounds like in native German, but I loved they "persuaded" him and it felt overwhelming (because you got your ass handed by lowest level enemies at the start). Ludonarrative Harmony at its finest!

I can tell you that a lot of the voice lines are ingrained into many a German's brain. They're still occasionally quoted back and forth in r/de.
