Best part of Gothic series - great plot - is simply GONE. Big world, many non-related quests and no story. Hack'n slash.

Gothic 1 was stunning - great atmosphere, interesting story, amazing gameplay. G2 was brilliant continuation and another great adventure.

I've expected that this great adventure started in G1 will continue, but nothing like that happened when I've launched G3. It's much more like one of many hack'n slash game now than real G2 continuation - plenty of small quests (that's nice, of course), but no main plot, no real story, simply conquering towns one by one. It's not something I expected from G2 continuation.

Game looks nice, but it's not optimized - almost unplayable if you have less than 1.5 GB of RAM. And there is still plenty of bugs in there as of 1.09 - some pretty annoying, you can get many quests blocked easily.

Unless you are big series fan, it's not really worth spending your money. Previous parts were much more involving.
