Single-player 360/PC RPG created by the makers of the Gothic games.

Anyone feeling me?

I would definitely be all over this if Gothic 3 hadn't been a letdown. I'm sure it will be worth a pickup eventually - kind of looking foward to the Gothic reboot too.

I'm fairly optimistic that this won't have the problems G3 did.

They have a different producer now, so supposedly they were given more time and money and therefore QA and beta-testing should be better.

Also because this is the first game in a new series (that admittedly seems to borrow heavily from Gothic), I think they will feel less inclined to go overboard with the 'epicness'. They don't have prequel games that they have to surpass in scale.

I always prefer RPGs that have a small, detailed, focused world (I loved Quest for Glory for example), rather than a multi-region, multi-climate, find the 21 seals of doom so you can unleash and slay the 12 dragons of Xarchanos kind of thing.

i'm really locking forward to this game... looks pretty good in the preview
