The game wont start...

Better than the Witcher

... or not Gothic?! Really? I mean, seriously? The biggest disaster with Arcania was that I could start it on my pc. Technically it works with small issues. I played it for 4 1/2 hours in game to get a picture. The start was nice, but later I had to realise that Arcania is only a kind of construction kit or concept, not a game. Did they employ computer students of the first semester to create it? Put three goblins here and three goblins there in the pampa. Let's counterfeit variation and put three or four bloodflies here and there, but not again wolves like in the beginning, because that would be too obtrusive. You can fight each creature in the same way. I watched youtube vids to find out that they fight bigger creatures in the same way at the end of the game. The beginning was challenging, I started on difficulty normal. Later I switched to hard and then to difficulty gothic, but the combat remains boring and dull. Fights in hack & slay rpgs like diablo II & Co. have much more substance. Does anybody know if everywhere exists an assembly line for bad rpg quests? Arcania is the real paradise for thieves: you can go into a shop, open chests and you can sell this stuff to the merchant, who stands 2 meters away without any penalty. I read, that you can roast steaks directly in combat or manufacture healing or mana potions. I didn't try this, because at that point I decided better to kill this awful game finally from the hard disc.
