Isn't this the 2nd game in the Arcania franchise? In that case... how could a previous game been the first one to shift point of view?

Oh, they mean the Gothic franchise? in that case... didn't Arcania do it first?

Well, a shorter game is certainly a major improvement.

Presumably they mean changing characters but sharing the same story.

Wow, a DLC on its way already? Must be a genre bending hit.

I guess I'll have to give ArcaniAAA a try afterall. :(

I wonder if a GOTY Edition of Arcania will be worth it, even if it shipped with booze and hookers.

The hookers would have stds and the booze would be mostly water.

I Hope Darth Roxor is aware that we shall expect him to review this masterpiece of a game. :smug:

He's the only one (I'm aware of) on The Codex that played it from start to finish, so the only one able to say if the DLC is any improvement over the original.

Darth, you'd better start ticking off the days.....







Seriously though, why aren't Jowood dead yet? Not only do they release a shit, short game, they even had the nerve to neuter it in order to sell suckers the rest of it a few months later!

10 hours for a RPG expansion, like they're proud of that shit!

On the Codex? He's obviously the only reviewer on the internet to have finished it. Hell he's probably the only guy on the entire PLANET who has finished it.

You do realize that if the expansion includes the patch then you'll have to start that LP of Arcania AND of the expansion? You'd better start ticking off the days too :smug:

GRRR, Damn your oily hide for remembering that foolish act of bravado! Damn SKIDROW in advance for probably bothering to release a cracked patch for this when they get the expansion out too!

Can someone explain the capitalized A at the end in "ArcaniA"?
The game is called Arcania but the logo has the last letter capitalised to make it look symmetrical. Lots of people started using this spelling and eventually even publisher is confused, having no idea what's the proper name.

They found a new market, obviously. I'm not sure for how long it shall last, but they actually did sell more copies in Asia than they have had expected in the first place.
