Gothic 3 takes place in Myrtana, the mainland continent in the game's world. It's a land that's besieged by Orcs hailing from the northlands, enslaving the human population, and all but laying waste to their civilization. Though it's tempting to demonize such an aggressive outside force, the Aspyr representative who conducted the demo assured me that, should players actively seek such information, they might just find that the Orcs have a reason for doing what they're doing. 7.5 square miles of virtual terrain will comprise the world, and numerous features, including expansive wilderness areas, populated settlements, and (of course) plenty of dungeons.
