Well,apparently Gothic is now entry level type of RPG, which is most suitable for beginners that never played rpg game before(according to rewiers recommendation) .And i do agree with that. minus it's not rpg anymore, more action hack & slash..

Game is horrible and nothing that Gothic is (other then monsters in game and few characters from previous games):
- about them arrows, they fly in straight line, no ballistics or environmental problems affect them

- no open world, Invisible walls everywhere
- no thieving, you can take anything you want in front of NPC and they won't even blink.

- no traps, no lockpicking...
- no sleeping

- you can't kill anyone unless is designated by quest.
- on-spot crafting, you don't need tools or anvils, fires..etc...just rub your hands ..and voila brand new sword for ya

Even if you are in middle of nowhere.
- you drink potions as you swing your weapon
- no swimming??!! You are on the island, but no water is swimmable
- NPC's have no emotions...
- there is an actual skill tree in the game?

And so i do not forget ...it is almost impossible to die (even on hardest level-Gothic level), since game is "designed for console players primarily" (quote from JW CEO).I think they should make an achievement for those who manage to kill themselves somehow.

This only small fraction of what is wrong with game..i can go on forever though...
