Gameplay

Gameplay in Forsaken Gods is like in Gothic 3, with some small differences. The fight system has changed, now being based on Endurance. The gameplay area in Forsaken Gods has been restrained from the 3 parts in Gothic 3, to just one part - Myrtana. The main plot is concentrated only in this area.

Plot

After awakening from a coma which, presumably, was induced by the first game, the nameless hero must find a way to unite the continent, as it has been divided by numerous factions, many of which are aided or led by the Nameless Hero's former companions. Through his own means, the Hero must reunite Myrtana as to finally restore the land to peace and prosperity.

Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1] It was largely the result of excessive bugs in release which to date had not been entirely resolved by patching.

Updates

In November 2010, JoWooD Entertainment announced that Mad Vulture Games would work on additional improvements for the game. The first patch was announced for Q1 2011.

On March 22, 2011, JoWooD Entertainment released the new patch via Steam, integrated within the new boxed version for the game titled Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition. The major patch is also available as a free download.[5]

The final version, 2.01.08, was officially released through the Mad Vulture Games website on December 18, 2011, and made available for free download similarly to the previous versions.[6]

gollark: This might be fixable if you have some kind of zero-knowledge voting thing and/or ways for smaller groups of people to decide to produce stuff.
gollark: If you require everyone/a majority to say "yes, let us make the thing" publicly, then you probably won't get any of the thing - if you say "yes, let us make the thing" then someone will probably go "wow, you are a bad/shameful person for supporting the thing".
gollark: Say most/many people like a thing, but the unfathomable mechanisms of culture™ have decided that it's bad/shameful/whatever. In our society, as long as it isn't something which a plurality of people *really* dislike, you can probably get it anyway since you don't need everyone's buy-in. And over time the thing might become more widely accepted by unfathomable mechanisms of culture™.
gollark: I also think that if you decide what to produce via social things instead of the current financial mechanisms, you would probably have less innovation (if you have a cool new thing™, you have to convince a lot of people it's a good idea, rather than just convincing a few specialized people that it's good enough to get some investment) and could get stuck in weird signalling loops.
gollark: So it's possible to be somewhat insulated from whatever bizarre trends are sweeping things.
