This game is well made and thought through. Good atmosphere, cool setting and nice graphics makes it a wonder to play. These are my pros and cons. Pros: Graphics - it's nice to look at. Beautiful landscapes and quite good options (look at ini file) Story - immersive enough. You have a lot to do and side quests seem plenty, even though a lot of "go kill" and "go fetch". Character - I really like the "Gothic" way to build you character. Find people to teach you stuff. Factions - Also this makes me happy. They have done a good job on making factions diverse. There are more things to say, but I have only been playing for 6 h. Cons: Graphics - There are games thet look better. Story - The dialouge make slight sense some times. Some quests get locked and you can only complete them in one way (even if you should be able to change your mind and NOT kill the guy). Character - Some minor misses. How muck hit points do I have? Resistances? It works, but could get better. Factions - Nope, still awesome! On combat - I like it. They have made it a mix between Gothic's rough and Risen's "let's dodge this" in a good way. I am beginning to master it, but I still get my a** handed to me every 10 minutes. I'm level 7 and run with Duras (A man who does get mauled by the Outlaws... hmm...?) Buy it!
