I find this game when I finished Risen (first) and I wanted something similar to it so I checked out Piranha Bytes older games.OMG This game is so complex! Thousands of quests through a whole continent! Every action you make (I mean EVERY!) changes the game end. Buy and play (of course with community patch) it's an EPIC ADVENTURE!!!
The game is not bad in my opinion, but it's far far away from it's predecessors. The story is quite dull, basically just the final ending of the story of our hero. I gave 3/5 just because it was very nostalgic to me to visit the place from Gothic 3 once more.
I am a huge fan of the Gothic games and this game is a very nice piece of the series. Since it's from the begining of 3D games it has some flaws. (thats why I gave 4/5) Unfortunetly it crashes quite often and the control is very awkward for what we get used to. (well I have to say for the second time I finished the game I get amazing in it :D ) But the story is very cool the music is a master piece, and it got that special (dark) "Gothic mood". Totally a must play!
I have to admit I was surprised how many bad reviews this game had... but this is an awsome game! I was sick of todays easy gameplay (just crouch for 10 sec and you heal, shitty story lines, etc...) so the Gothic series really worth my money to spent on. Sure it is a very very hard game! You have to take your time with it but I like challenge! If you are much more into modern gaming ("easy to play for a 3 year old") style do not buy it. If you want a challenging game with epic story and lovely graphics, I recommend it so much!
