An amazing game, but only after you patch it up, if your a gothic fan you have to play it :)
as always the vast world in gothic is yet to be made by any other rpg game, only morrowind can compare to the open end style you find here, oblivion is a cheap empty world with nice graphix and the witcher is linear compared to gothic 3.
yes my friends the Gothic games live on, and to a true gamer are gems of the PC gaming world.
now i find myself here in 2010 wondering why is the gaming world sinking into hell, and i find no answer.... I only find fun and amusement in games like gothic 2 and 3, and more recently risen, and soon arcania which I await on hot lava :P
if you don't mind DL a little patch for gothic 3, then get the game install it, patch it up and play you brains out, and honestly what game doesn't need a patch, even world of warcraft and starcraft needed patches.
the game play is hard, the quest is vast and amazing, the graphics are good, and the atmosphere is .... gothic :)
