It is an alright game, but it is buggy as anything without the community patch and the combat is not anywhere near as good as in Gothic 1+2. The game is also very unfinished, many of the side quests and extra things like smithing seem like they only just got added at the last minute to expand the game, because all of the rewards are inferior to things on the main questline. Might be worth checking out, but I'd suggest you play Risen instead.
