Gothic 3

After years and countless patches, this game is finally playable & enjoyable. Let me give you some infos (no spoilers) to make this an even better experience: 1. Install the Gothic 3 Community Patch 1.75 - not only many bug fixes, but also better performance, better graphics as well as more & new settings 2. Turn on Color Grading - the original colors are way too bright, turn this on for a true Gothic atmosphere 3. Turn off Alternative Balancing & Alternative K.I. of the CP 1.75 if you want an original playthrough, or google it and keep it on if you like it 4. If you want, and if you have a very (!) strong computer, you can push the graphics even further than the CP 1.75 standard max, google "pcgh ini" or "gothic 3 ini graphics" 5. In case you haven´t played the two first parts + addon already, I strongly suggest doing it, even though the graphics are a bit outdated, they´re still awesome games. Also there are probably texture packs and/or other ways to make the look better 6. There are a lot of loading stutters / micro stutters due to loading & bad coding. This can get annoying and is also the reason for me to give only 4 stars, maybe a SSD would help, I don´t personally own one 7. If you understand German, play it in German - yes, this is one of the few games one can actually enjoy in German, as it was produced there

Sad thing it is not working anymore on the newer systems. Longest period without CTD (memory violation error) is about 1-2 min.

Great game, perfectly enjoyable today (2025) with mods!

Nothing really bad in it. Many goods and a few great points in it. A very different experience than most games in that gerne.

here in 2025 it is still worth playing. Really one of my favorite games over time - and one of the few - that I actually still play
