Gothic 3 - Impressions

It has taken a while for some news to appear about the upcoming Gothic 3 game. It looks like the developers put the project on ice for a while and see how the market develops. The huge success of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion woke them up again as news is coming in again. There IS a market for single-player RPG games, not everyone wants to spend their lifes in MMORPGS like World of Warcraft. Gothic 3 is to be a huge open-ended RPG game with a rich and colourful world to explore. You will be playing the unnamed hero again, and will now have to walk through human lands occupied by the Orcs. Oh and of course kick their asses whenever you come across them. The developers promise a non-linear experience, allowing you complete freedom of how you play Gothic 3. And it’s all coming this year.

You’ll also be able to recruit traveling companions from this population. Fans of the Gothic series will know of the unnamed hero’s four companions in earlier games, and they all make a return in Gothic 3, however you’ll have to hunt them down in their civilian lives and get them to rejoin your cause. You’ll also be able to recruit other companions, as well as mercenaries to fight alongside you.

You’re going to need a bigger staff.
Whatever you do in the game will impact your overall reputation, and this is important since there are so many factions that will take that into account. If you want to help the orcs, for example, you’ll have to battle in the arena, starting small and then working your way up to the big coliseum battles. Prove you’re good enough to survive those, and the orcs will respect you. On the other hand, help out the humans, and you’ll find yourself on the bad side of the orcs. All the choices that you make will have an impact on the ending. In fact, when you do complete the game, you’ll be presented with a montage of all your decisions, which will help explain how you arrived at your particular ending.
