Well, what can I say, it was quite a disappointment. I bought it at the time of release and, as a huge Gothic fan, could hardly wait to play it. Then I started the game and saw the beautiful graphics and was blown away, it looked better than Oblivion and I was totally blown away. Then I played for a few minutes and realized that something was wrong. The characters were behaving strangely, the group split up immediately and I just got the ominous mission to find Xardas, which I then had in my quest log for the next 30 hours.... that's the main quest for almost half of the game!!! Well, the story was generally a disaster, Vatras was suddenly white :D, there were bugs at every turn (although my first playthrough was strangely spared most of them), the ending was an absolute joke and the combat system was also horrific. I liked the world building, Myrtana was beautiful, the music is the best in the whole Gothic series and the city conquest system was really cool. Otherwise, unfortunately, an absolute disappointment.
