You are also going to need tons of gold, so pick up *everything* (forinstance, all weapons after a battle) and sell it. 'Bundles of weapons' are things you cannot getenough of, so always look out for them - be aware that picking them upsometimes angers people around you. Therefore, whenever there is something you must collect for a laterquest, I will say 'hang on to it' so that you'll know to keep, look outfor and collect it. You have not found a single one yet, you might be inclined to throw yourcomputer out of the window. For instance, boozeberries are very hard to find at the bestof times - but somebody will suddenly ask for lots. One of the characteristics of this game is that, for the endless sidequests, people are going to ask for all manner of things which of courseyou haven't been collecting, there being no good reason to do so: and,confronted with the request, you have to stop everything and go lookingall over. This is the silliest game I've ever come across. This means you end up with a long list of quests you cannot possiblycomplete, since to do so would jeopardise the end result. You must just do enough 'non-fatal' quests tokeep all sides happy until the time comes for you to take a decision. Plus all manner of people will direct you to take a particularside. With the Hashishin (allies of the orcs) it will be thesame. In fact, what you have to do is to preserve a balance: orcs willrequest that you kill everybody else and they, in turn, will ask you tokill the orcs. Wrong! It took me many hours of tedious gameplayliberating towns from the orcs to realise I was NOT meant to do that. Naturally enough, you think that's what you aresupposed to do. The game starts with you and your mates bashing orcs (as usual) andliberating a town. On thecontrary, all I'm aiming to do is to complete the game with a minimumamount of effort.

So I'll make an effort and try to write a solution of sorts, eventhough I have no idea if I have given the correct order and I certainlyhave not even bothered to discover all the possible quests. However, loyal types out there will want to play Gothic 3 to the bitterend. Worse still, the game is full of bugs, stutters and is very slow.

The maps are pathetic and inaccurate, and therendering of persons, objects and animals is totally unconvincing. All that can be said aboutGothic 3 is that is much bigger which means that finding people andplaces takes forever.

EvenGothic 2 had better graphics than these. After waiting for solong and expecting something as spectacular as Oblivion, the faithfulįans of the great series Gothic cannot believe they are gettingsomething no greater than a continuation of Gothic 2/add-on. This has to be the greatest disappointment ever.
