Could have been so much more
I never played this before the Community Patch, so it must have been a mess when it came out. The graphics are nice, the world is big, there is freedom to roam and lots to explore... The biggest flaw of the game is the story. It is not particularily bad, just...meh. There is far too little going on for a world this big. The fantastic characters of the past two games are also not present here. Even known characters from the last two games are lifeless and generic here. Also, inconsistent and illogical. Whoever thought up the idea that the Water Mages should be nomadic Desert People should have their head examined. The modern mouse control is maybe more modern, but the combat system is far more simplistic now. In Gothic one and two, your combat control skills actually mattered. Here, its just your characters attributes, and a clickfest. Quests are also very generic. I spent hours ridding the Northern lands of Orc armies. Litereally hundreds of orcs in several camps. When talking to the questgiving barbarian chieftain afterwards, he said something like: "Hey, thanks mate" and gave me an armor and some gold. Epic!

A tragic, empty shell of a game
It hurts me to say it, especially as a fan of the first two games, but Gothic 3 has little substance underneath its rather tempting exterior. The world PB crafted here is undeniably beautiful and epic in scope, featuring three distinct environmental regions, and with secrets seemingly around every corner, but all that promise withers very quickly. The story starts off promisingly enough, picking up where the second game ended, but things take a sour turn almost immediately by introducing players to one of the worst combat systems ever featured in an action RPG. Gothic 1 and 2 were notorious for their clunky controls, but they were designed in such a way to make players feel like nobodies in a dangerous, foreign world, and ultimately it was a brilliant system that rewarded skill and patience. Gothic 3's combat is simply a stun-lock race, with weapons having little weight behind them when used. Unlike previous games, the overworld of Gothic 3 is filled with tedious and unimaginative quests (many of which are basic fetch quests). The more interesting quests involve town liberation, but they too suffer from repetition and a feeling of grind as opposed to meaningful progression. This would have been more tolerable if PB delivered on the story and atmosphere... however, the simple truth is that Gothic 3 stumbles here too. The music is beautiful, but it lacks the air of mystique and dread from the first two titles, and the voice acting, while competent enough, lacks... character? The Nameless Hero especially sounds like a completely different character here, and many of the familiar faces also sound off. The storyline, meanwhile, is absent for much of the game. I wanted to love Gothic 3. Unfortunately, after many frustrating hours I had come to the realization that this wasn't a true Gothic game, and even as its own game it falls flat much of the time. Even the Community Patch-which is an amazing effort- can't undo the bad writing, and poor game engine.

gothic 3
This game could have been a great game but as other reviews have said , game is buggy even when patched lost count the number of times when the game froze and as for the story how many orcs do i have to kill, lost count must have been 300 hundred plus and the ending is a let down, so only 3 stars the best gothic game is gothic 2 by far.

Finally able to play through it!
I added only 2 mods, the update of the community patch (Update Pack 1.04) & the parallel universe patch (v1.0.5). Thanks to GOG & the Community for making this possible! Back in the day I bought the CE edition of this game only to realize that it was unplayable. I tried again later with an early version of the CP but the game still crashed all 1-3 hours (sometimes more). I also started to free all the cities right from the start so at some point all orcs that saw me attacked, what made the game again unplayable for me. Now I was finally able to finish it and while it is still the weakest game from the original trilogy I still liked seeing all the locations & talking to all the chars. As already mentioned by others Gothic 1 & 2 are better. Gothic 1 gets a remake soon, which will hopefully be good... Gothic 2 looks amazing with the Gold Remaster mod. G3 still looks nice to me with the patches & mods, but if one is not a fan of the world & chars then there are probably better RPGs to play out there. I enjoyed playing it though.
