nathan, do you really think that Gothic 2 would have been as good without being able to swim?
I think it added a lot to immerse the player in the game and the world. I wouldn't miss it, despite of the awful controls.
Did you play Ultima 9? Great controls, even underwater. And you could fly/levitate.
For G2, had the setting been changed accordingly, say from an island, to a valley surrounded by impassible mountains, I think the game would have more or less been equally enjoyable (with a couple appropriate plot alterations, of course). It's really about the setting and the methods of movement complimenting each other.
As far as U9, unfortunately, I didn't manage to play very far through the game, as I simply didn't have a system that could handle it, and I was in university at the time too - I didn't have the time to dedicate to playing on my slow computer (and was unable to afford a system upgrade).
