If you like Gothic 3, don't buy Forsaken Gods. If you don't like Gothic 3, don't buy Forsaken Gods. If you like shit, well... Even you might have some quality standards.
First off, Gothic 3 is buggy as hell. The developers knew the game was not ready to be released but they were forced to release it by the publisher and after that they lost rights to the Gothic franchise too and Arcania: Gothic 4 (the piece of shit) was thrown to another development team. So there was little to no official support to deal with the numerous technical problems of the game. There was never anything wrong with the content of the game, only the technical side. Fortunately, the community exists, and such a loved franchise with lots of passionate fans like myself, fixed a massive amount of technical problems over the years. Now the game is in the shape it deserved to be in in the first place. This game needs to be played. Buy it, download the community patch (I believe it's in version 1.72 now) and enjoy it. Hardcore action RPG at its finest. It's a true Gothic game, despite many differences, but the soul of Gothic 1 and 2 is more than enough present here. Final note: Don't play Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods. It is NOT by the original developers, and it sucks balls. Same with Arcania: Gothic 4. If you want more Gothic after this, get Risen and join me in patiently waiting for Risen 2, the savior of RPGs.
