I'm playing this game, and almost finished. I like it, but here are some critics:
There is too much talk at the beginning and less chance to improve the character. Can not buy armors, can not wear more then 2 rings (for what is our 10 fingers for?) which makes the fighting quite hard.
All together the game is cool. If you like Gothic or Morrowind - The Elder Scrolls, Oblivion, you will like this too. Nice (but a bit long) story, good missions, the fighting is satisfying.
Enjoyable, good game. Check youtube for some gameplay videos.
More critics here: (doesn't mean you shouldn't play)
- Should be some clothes available to find or get from dead bodies. The Hero is running around barefoot.
- Task in Harbor Town from Belschwur: to give potions to people could be easier if those names would be crossed on the list who got potions already.
- When I trade I cannot see how much gold the trader has.
- No chance to buy or find different clothes or armor.
- I don’t know which chest, closet did I open and which not yet. They are the same font-color. (In Gothic 3 this works fine.)
- In Harbor Town after I gave up Toni, he’s still walking around even in the Don’s House when the guards are standing there. He should have left the town already.
- The same animals getting stronger and harder to kill. Why? They cannot train them self!
- I found Wiesel’s body outside Harbor Town left from the gate. Probably he fell off the wall and died after I turned him in for the Order.
- When it’s raining the people are still sitting by the fire or standing around. It looks stupid.
- When it’s thunder and lightning I can still see it inside a cave.
- The Hero cannot sprint without magic spell.
- It takes too much xp to reach 10 learning points, the game becomes not enjoyable. No fun to destroy enemies, because it turns to an ‘attacking-running-returning-attacking again’-game.
- There is not enough mission to make xp without running around finding animals to kill.
- Trading sucks, I cannot sell my stuff for a good prize.
- Cannot forge magic weapons.
- Once inside the lizard caves the Inquisitor asking to call Ethan for opening a wall with the pickaxe, but Ethan died already, so it will be Vincent who has to do the job.
- Hard to kill animals which are keep jumping back when I attack them. It’s a bit annoying.
