I agree. There are those out there who need to defeat a game on the hardest level, but for me the journey is the thing, not the final boss battle. I take great pleasure in just figuring things out as I go, the little triumphs and "aha!" moments long the way.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I finished the game. I had played it so many years ago and never remembered the ending. I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks so I won't start a new game until I'm back.

I'm thinking I might go straight on to Gothic 3 for my next game, Rowan, and it being your favourite of the series sounds like a good endorsement to me !! And yes. I will also want to play Risen 3. But it's still very expensive so I need to save lots an' lots more pennies yet

Well, I finished Gothic 2 (enjoyed it - but not as much as the original) and started Gothic 3. And now I'm addicted to THAT !!!!

In Gothic 3, is there such a thing as an "in game" map with an arrow or something to show me where I am in a town ?? I can see my location on the "world" map but I haven't found anyone selling "town" maps - which might show me where I am within one. [ I'm still in the first town ]

Mad, I don't remember a town map. Most towns are not that big so I don't think you need one. There's a good map of the world here which shows all towns. I think Monterra is the largest.

Hi Rowan No, this first area isn't too bad but I was thinking ahead, wondering if other areas might be bigger .... Also my Gothic 3 is the "Forsaken Gods Enhanced Version". So do you know if the info at the site you directed me to will be relevant ?? [I know it's a good site. I've used it often for other games.] Thanks. Mad

Good luck on the map thing Mad. This game is really lacking on telling you what to do and where to go. I used this site to keep me informed as well as the gamepressure site. It was frustrating for me trying to figure out where to go for a particular quest and these sites kept me sane.

I love open world games, but good maps make games much more fun!

Thanks, oldman !! That was the first site I visited because I found it so helpful for Gothics 1 & 2 - but THIS is what I found !! [I never saw the page you linked for me. But hopefully what your link offers won't be getting discontinued ] EDIT : Looks like the town maps on your link aren't for the "Forsaken Gods" game. They must be for the original Gothic 3 .... Which it seems also answers my question (below) to Rowan So, is the original Gothic 3 a totally different game from Forsaken Gods then, Rowan ?? I had presumed "enhanced" just meant it was an improved version of the original

The Forsaken Gods is a different game (an expansion) but it reuses some of the locations of Gothic 3 (just like Gothic 2 reused some of the locations of Gothic 1). It's been a while since I played Forsaken Gods so I hope my memory is not too erroneous. It's still a very "gothicky" game so I hope your hopes weren't dashed too much. However, in my case I ran into a game breaking bug which prevented me from finishing. Hopefully your experience will be better.

I had presumed "enhanced" just meant it was an improved version of the original Sorry about that Mad I also didn't realize that it was a different game from Gothic 3. However I did find a site for Forsaken Gods that has basically the same information here I never played this expansion so I have no idea if these maps are the right ones or not. Hope it helps
