Tags: Gothic III; Piranha BytesRPGDot have written up an <a href=http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1118>article[/url] listing the promising RPGs that will be on display at this year's E3 game show. Here's why people should care about Gothic 3:
While Piranha Bytes' Gothic series has attracted a legion of loyal fans, it remains a relatively unknown brand in many markets for a variety of reasons including the disjointed international releases to date. Gothic 3 was recently unveiled in the German magazine PC Action with the screenshots stunning readers, along with details of a gameworld three times larger than Gothic II, around 20 villages and towns, a revised interface and multiple approaches to each quest. Publisher JoWood knows this has the potential to be a genuine international hit and will be looking to make a splash at E3 - and judging from the teaser video, that shouldn't be too hard.Overall, it's a pretty depressing list. If the highlights of the upcoming RPG year are Oblivion and NWN2, things are very bleak.
