Amazing game after patch. For 2006 year is crazy to thing how good it is. Much of the aspects are groundbreaking in terms of immersion till this day. Frankly gameplay is much more engaging than its contemporary TES 4: Oblivion, which is crazy to say since Oblivion is universally revered and Gothic 3 barely got any exposure. Quiet sad. Nevertheless game is a hidden gem and totally worth playing

This game shows what truly matters. Not flashy graphics, amazing facial animations, 300 guns or astronomical physics. But a map that feels alive, choices that matter, random conversation in the street, monsters fighting each other in their natural habitats, actual NPC's with stories, lives and humor. Places that don't feel randomly generated but neatly placed for you to discover. A world where you walk into and instantly feel like- yes, this place is at war and I can change that. One way or another. Ruins left behind, skeletons, little camp-sites, old farms, houses- so many places to discover- different biomes, people, accents, ways of living. And yet- you find little strands of them everywhere. A Nomad in Montera, an Assassin in Silden. This game feels real, it feels alive. People cared for it. Wherever you go- you'll find pieces. An NPC you might have been looking for, a complete random fight between monsters, maybe hunters. An abandoned mine, city, orc camps. You're in this world- but so are they. Your choices matter. People who die- stay dead. Their quests? Gone forever. No way to redeem yourself. Different outcomes? Yes. Different ways to handle information or even items? Also yes. No inventory space, no soft-locks. You find people who teach you things by talking to them. No huge arrow above their heads. No guide. You wanna go there? Look at the map or signs around the world and see if you can find it. Someone tells you "a cave north"? Well, look at your compass and find it. You might disocover a whole bunch of other stuff along the way. This game defines a true open-world game for me. It let's you do whatever you want from the beginning. But you're not shielded by any kind of "hero" armor. You're weak and if you tread places above your abilities- you'll die. And there are no do-overs. You have inventory slots that are useful, decorate them to your liking. So many people to talk to, become friends with or enemies. A huge story line going all the way back to Gothic 1. You might meet people from older games, can decide on what to tell them, depending on who you want to play as. I love that you can be a good or bad person. And peopel will react accordingly. All the way back in 2006 I wandered into a store with my dad and we bought it. The map-Edition, where you could fold up the front of the cover and see the entire map of the game. And my god, it was a mess. Horrible performance, crashes, broken quests, and so on. You couldn't teleport in the first patches because the game would just die on you. Now, in 2025, I can still play it on Windows 11, with a Community Patch slapped on it. It runs perfectly fine. No online requirement. No dead server. Just a beautiful single-player game I can still enjoy. And now, 19 years later, I get to finish it too. For my dad, who never had the chance. I can't wait. 10/10.

Sept. 2025

Spawned in, punched a boar, died instantly. 10/10, peak German game design. It runs like a potato trying to render Skyrim, crashes if you look at it wrong, and yet… I love every single cursed second of it. The world’s huge, the music’s god-tier, and the NPCs sound like they all share one brain cell — in the best possible way. You don’t play Gothic 3, you survive it. And if you made it past the first village, you’ve earned your place among legends. Boar trauma aside, still one of the best experiences ever.

July 2025

Not the best, but also not the worst part of the Gothic series. There are many mods that can either drastically change the gameplay, or minor changes. The vanilla part has its own bugs and jambs, which, however, do not interfere much with completing the game. If the combat system were more complex, the game would be much more interesting... but alas, it is as casual as possible. In general, it's 7.5/10 because it's still a continuation of the original series with the story of Nameless Hero. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793922493 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809066621 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807206411
