    The folks at RPGWatch <a href="http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=113&ref=0&id=330">don't like Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods</a>:

    <blockquote>Should have called it 'Forsaken Fans'. It has been pointed out that I shouldn't waste so many words on a crappy game - and I will follow that advice and not bury my lead: Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods is a crappy game that none but the most rabid Gothic fan should bother playing and no one at all should part with full price to get.

    Back to that first discussion - had it not been for the awful load times I would have repeated the conversation immediately to confirm what I heard. The next time I played I did restart a new game just to check and confirmed that I heard three different voices for the nameless hero. Two were the same person I believe - but sounded like they were recorded separately and out of context. That is not the only time it happened - in fact it seemed to occur all over the place. It was one thing to have it occur occasionally in the Night of the Raven expansion to Gothic 2, because there they were patching a few new lines in here or there with existing content. Here we have an entirely new game, so it just feels wrong having the entire game feel like someone played a game of 'cut & paste the audio'.</blockquote>

    Well, it did work for Oblivion... Final score is "well forget all that because it's awesome!". Oh sorry, I mean 1/5.

    It was given to a second-rate Indian developer. I find it difficult to swallow that a worthy series like Gothic, even in its worst incarnation, would be treated by anyone in such a manner.

    They drew inspiration from award-winning genre-redefining Oblivion, obviously.
