I liked Gothic 3 but the chest loot system is one of the most retarded loot systems ever.
You'd think it's random, but it's not. There are chests with fixed loot, and then there are "random" chests which actually count down from a generic loot list. Let's say there are 100 of these chests in the game. The first chest you open contains the loot listed in slot #1. The second chest you open contains the loot in slot #2. Etc etc until you open the last chest.
The content of these chests doesn't depend on their location or on a random roll, it depends on which order you open them in.

Well ok I guess I misremember, this is for unique items in chests, the little items like potions and lockpicks are random.
Which is even more retarded.
