Great game, very similar to the Gothic series but less buggy

A must for Gothic fans.
this is very similar to the Gothic series but less buggy.

pros:
I really liked the battle system.
solid engine, I was playing for hours without any leaks, FSP drops or BSOD's.
good graphic.
nice sound and voice over.
very good story line.
fluent open world
3 different guilds, just like the Gothic series.

cons:
The game is not finished, it's obvious that the last chapters hasn't been through QA at all.

the Trading system is really out of proportion, there is no logic there whatsoever!

the time system is pretty wired. there is no days count, you don't know what time it is, and when going to sleep you don't know if you'll wake up today or tomorrow.

Like most games in the genre you need a good hardware to enjoy the game at high detail.

Overall it's a great game
