No worthy successor to the Gothic series!

Gothic 3, as everyone knows, of course, Game of the Year 2006 has become, but why, I ask myself not only determined alone. I am a big fan and supporter of Gothic, I have played through the first, the second and the add-on (DNDR) countless times. Of course I have the whole discussion and prejudices, but also the Hochlobungen and the fact that the game of 2006 was held by the acquisition until it wound up but was in my drive. Unfortunately I would have to save the.

The story and especially the combat mode does not convince me, although I can hit multiple enemies at once, but no longer do so cool combos as the 2nd part, also with the Block is one of those things that brings against stronger opponents is not much, the 2nd part you could, thanks to the blocking and opponents do, which were vastly superior (for example: Hero Lvl 3 vs. Orc Elite.), which also brought then an exciting fight. To assess the combat mode but after his Effiziens or after its fun factor is hard to find some just because of Gothic 3 as well, others, like me, because two minds.

On the Erzwaffen I've been looking forward like crazy because of Gothic 2 is well known that these are among the most powerful weapons to combat bonuses, in Gothic 3 is only mid-range weapons that the example: with the strongest one-handed weapon, the flaming sword (already to buy in the 2nd town for a few pieces of gold) can not oppose.

The Monster AI is also a bit tricky, constantly on Dodge, of course you can defeat them but it takes sometimes and some fights are so frustrated to sample. Pleased I am also on the skill tree, especially improve armor and produce poison, well, none of them can one learn only from 1:12 Patch, with no means all is well fixed.

Next point, Story. So unfortunately I can not say much because there's not much to say who comes from DNDR on G3, will be sorely disappointed, but I get the add-on a ziehmlich difficult story with the beginning unequally strong opponents and offered until the middle of the game you can pick it up with them (although earlier, as mentioned above, but from then on it is almost equally with them), in G3 can be the king (Rhobar) effortlessly tilt (one of the most important main quests) and from Lvl. 20-30, there is hardly just worthy opponents (singular), clearly 30 Orks is a problem, but nothing else except Xardas, the one with his fireballs butt burns (and with only 2 fireballs) there is little strong enemies, the end is more than boring and uneventful, no Undead Dragon as bosses and final hurdle, only 3 different videos which tell the output depending on which way you eingeschlgen (Beliar, or innos Xardas's alternate route).

Had the game from top to bottom bug free my rating would be turned out better, because I would then have to bring in even more positive aspects can. Very sad, but in my eyes no worthy successor to the so popular Gothic series, namely make the patches Remedy, indeed makes the 1.08er patch the game really only playable, otherwise bugs occur that affect the Vorrankommen in the story or even hinder or prevent. Although you already know bugs from its predecessors, but this rather amüsierender Naturwaren (eg that an NPC simply pulls out his gun and then inserting again, just like that, for no reason), as the game is no longer playable, as I said, without Patch nothing works at G3.

Kudos to the people who sit down there and the number of community patches (v. 1.4, v. 1.5 and v.1.6) have developed with me the game runs unfortunately only with the developed yet by the developers 1.12er Patch , the Community patches I get not to run, why I will definitely have to find out, however, is here again placed any fond, since not shocked when you play for the first time G3 and nothing works / works / runs, invites you the patches down, as we have said thus you get definitely schonmal a different perspective on the game, because it a lot of bugs are fixed or eliminated (see skill tree, see objects, etc. ...).

Nevertheless, for me more of a game for people who want to remain absolutely true to the series, or to extend their collection further, of course, like this game determines many, no one else it would have played, but I can not cope with G3 fond as I cross very much rather return to the predecessor. Thank you for reading's.
