Good news for American and Canadian RPG fans : Gothic 3 has been released and will be available in stores for 39.99 USD. The game promises 40 hours of action, and an open world for you to explore. Your actions affect the game world, including AI opponents. You will be heading back to the mainland of Myrtanna and find the human empire under attack and in a weak state. But the Orcs are not just interested in Myrtanna, they will be annoying other lands as well. An improved combat system will ensure players remain interested in the combat elements. The story is huge, and not just about your character saving the world of evil Orcs. Graphics are of a very nice quality and really pull you into the world of Gothic 3. The game was released in Europe last month.
Players saved their home island Khorinis from the forces of evil in Gothic and Gothic 2. Now it is time to travel to the realms of the mainland, where invading Orcs have enslaved the human kingdom. There are only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and in the southern desert of Varrant, and a handful of rebels hiding in the mountainous forests of the Middle Realm. Players can choose to join the rebellion and stay true to the deposed human king, serve the Orcish usurpers in their quest to topple the last remaining human stronghold, or choose a path that serves their own ends. Every decision made will have an impact on the game world and tip the balance of power. There is no simple linear story in Gothic 3 – every game will be different and unique, with the player ultimately deciding the fate of humankind.
