I wouldn't call it devastating news. The game's just getting a tune up.

As long as it makes the game better, I'm all for it.

I also hope it's not going to be wide open->linear as a wire, again.

An evil outcome for Gothic would have been neat, but I could understand that it would have been awkward for a sequel.

Still, it's leagues beyond the crap that was "Virtue Raider".

devastating was over the top, but at least it attracts attention! :D

It's most likely a translation issue than it is a tune up in terms of bug fixing.

 

[Section8]

I hope the combat is greatly improved for the sequel

As do i, i didnt find combat enjoyable at all in the original.

No, I hated the combat as well. It was way, way too arcadish, using combos and the like to bring down your enemies. It was also forced on you, you either used them or you died. I also hated that spells were forced on you to get through certain places, like the elemental golem areas.
