Gothic 3 Preview

WorthPlaying has put together a detailed preview of Pirahna Bytes’ Gothic 3, based on the time they’ve spent with a press build of the RPG sequel.

The story is your typical fantasy fare, with your homeland being overrun with orcs and you needing to help save the day and all that usual stuff. Unfortunately, you’ll be playing the entire game as the same basic character everyone else is playing it with, as there are no noticeable options to change your appearance. It’s not that the Gothic series ever gave you that opportunity, but for an RPG, it would be nice to have something of a choice in appearance or gender. Thankfully, you do have the option to focus your skills in one particular area, so if magic is your thing, you’ll be able to indulge in your wizardry.
