No. Even if everybody else ignores you, I won't.
Are you another one of those obsessing over the whole 1st/3rd person BS?
Bro/Sis, you're the one still trying to defend a dumb point you made 6 or 7 pages ago.
Haven't found a "run around doing random shit" game as fun as Gothic 3. I had a great time just collecting everything I saw and ending up finding a random guy who wanted five plates I picked up 10 hours previously. I also found completing all the quests in each town and getting my rep to max to be very addictive.
All that stuff was fun but could be called soulless. I don't think that accusation could be made about the art direction and soundtrack - they are really, really good.
You have forgotten the face of your father.I thought the post was a troll, picking flowers a la Oblivious and mechanically tallying up REP points in copypasta towns is a great time and addictive...
I am currently playing Gothic 4 and while it is not as bad as people make it out to be, it is unremarkable in everything, mundane to a fault. In fact, it is so banal and average that it is now my new benchmark for a third-person action RPG: it does nothing terribly wrong, but it just... does everything an action RPG is supposed to do, with no particular skill, imagination, or design coherence. Even starved as I am, I am not even sure I will last long enough to tick my "there, I played it, I can replay G2 now" box.
really enjoying Risen 2
Risen also has better C&C. While nothing groundbreaking it beats the MMO-style present in Gothic 3.
Also, the only thing Risen has really got over Gothic 3 is the polished combat.
