Good thing too because loot in this game is incredibly addictive. The teleport "mark/recall" system stolen from Morrowind is a great feature. I LOVE the stackable weapons enhancement system! Using bows and melee and taking advantage of the camera turns it into a somewhat of an action game but it is very satisfying. It never gets attacked and it never wanders which is unrealistic but I'll take it! They should have just made the horse a jeep lol.Ĭombat is fun. They fixed something! I really like the horse.

Horse riding in 1.7 is much easier than the demo (1.5). I'd still rather have a proper chase camera but I've adapted. If you are using a bow to weaken opponents and then run to get some distance you can have your avatar run toward the camera so you see the chase. The camera annoyed me at first but there are advantages. Gothic 3 tweaked looks better but this looks great. My laptop (Vista 64, 4 gig of Ram, 2.3 Ghz, 9800GTS with 1 gig RAM) plays this at 50-60 FPS with everything maxed out. In general, waiting 2 years after release is a great way to game! Fully patch, next to no bugs.


I'm *really* late to the party here but here are my impressions. I meant to play 5 minutes yesterday and ended up playing 8 hours.
