Gothic 1 or 2?

I’m really intrigued by this series, and now that it’s been ported to switch I’m ready to take the plunge.

I’m a casual gamer, and a full-time student, so I don’t have a lot of time to game. Hence why Switch is my preferred console and why I’m only really prepared to Invest in one of these titles.

Caveat being that if I fall in love with the first game, I’ll certainly give the other one a try.

But if you had to pick one.. as a newcomer but also in general, which do you prefer?

Bonus if you can list pros and cons of both :)

Thanks in advance!
