How is Gothic 3?

[mindcycle]

Gothic 2 is the best in the series IMO. If you can get past the dated graphics and get used to the rather annoying combat system you're in for a pretty epic story. While I enjoyed Risen, I felt I didn't quite have the depth that G2 or even 3 had. It was definitely smaller and more streamlined , likely so it could have greater appeal to the console market.
