<a href=http://www.piranha-bytes.com/>Piranha Bytes</a>' Kai Rosenkranz has answered <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=131>a few questions</a> about upcoming <a href=http://www.gothic3.com/>Gothic 3</a> to satisfy our curiosity. Kai asked us to split it in two parts to protect the uninitiated from all secret Gothic knowledge contained in the second part, which will be posted a week after E3
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>13. How does Gothic 3 handle choices & consequences? How important are choices and what would they affect? Would my character (not the player!) ever get a reason to regret a previously made choice?</b>
<br>
<br>
Gothic 3 is all about choices in the first place. Yes, there are great sword fights, powerful magic, a lifelike gaming world... but yet choices are the main gameplay element. The player can literally shape the world and influence the story through the way he's handling things. Most decisions have to be made in the field of human relations. The way the player is treating others influences their attitude towards him, and thus their cooperativeness depends on the right choice of words. With a dexterous tongue the hero can even talk a whole city into a revolution. This can also backfire on him, of course. If he falls out of favour with someone, he will most likely not get useful hints or lucrative quests. And yes, if the whole world wants him dead, he might at last regret his choices.</blockquote>That's all I ever wanted - an option to make choices I will regret later on.
