Other humans have either joined the orcs as mercenaries or fled to the forests to join the realls. And it's in a huge mess: orcs have conquered the country, besieging the king in his fortress city and subjugating the rest of the population, forcing them either into slavery or into the arenas to fight as gladiators. Whereas the previous games were set on the island of Khorinis, you've now made your way to the mainland, Myrtana. You play the same bearded, nameless hero, again arriving in a new world and essentially left to do whatever you like. Gothic 3 follows the same basic blueprint as its predecessors. Yep, years before Bethesda released Oblivion, a tiny German developer had produced an open-ended game where the inhabitants ate, slept, went to work, shot the breeze with their mates and, on occasion, strummed away at a lute (well, we've all done it).
Huge in the land of sauerkraut and sausages (we're talking Hassclhoff-esque levels of popularity here), the first two Gothic instalments also won praise for being among the first RPGs to successfully create a convincing world. Unless You're a German or a role-playing-game fanatic, the chances are you don't know very much about the Gothic series.
