Looks like it was a part of basic game, which got cut off just to form a paid dlc. Which most of players probably bought, because it would be bad to not finish a basic game which... got its ending cut off and placed elsewhere.
I completed this game in 27 hours, on "Gothic" diff level, using mostly 2h weapons and sometimes bow/crossbow. If you expect gothic-like rpg, then this game is an opposite to what Gothic games were. Compared to them it does everything wrong. - It is linear - Is not even an rpg at all! Your skills allow you only to build into ranged/malee/magic character. No other perks, nothing. Rarely quests give you freedom of choice, but it is illusory, because outcome is always the same... Therefore you cannot role-play, you just complete consecutive elements of the story in one only possible way. - Everything else you loved in Gothic games, here is not present or messed up. Therefore I would label this game as "Linear action adventure game". When you expect action adventure game, you can notice some pros: - some locations are made nicely, they look really good. However they are quite empty and boring. - story is mediocre. I know it does not sound like an advantage, but compared to other parts of the game it is not that bad :) Or it would be, if it not got cut after last fight in the game. After this fight, game just cuts you off, without explaining anything! Yes, you get a short clip, but it's not very informative. The true ending of the story is in dlc, which looks like it was a part of basic game, which got cut off just to form a paid dlc. Which most of players probably bought, because it would be bad to not finish a basic game which... got its ending cut off and placed elsewhere. So, I would give this game 2 ratings: - if you expect gothic-like rpg: 0/10 - if you expect simple linear action adventure game: 4/10 Here I marked it overall as 1/5 simply because you are not allowed to rate 0/5.
