We are losing, my King… An old man who was sitting on his throne shivered and looked on the spokesman like he saw him the first time. The ruler of Mirtana stopped to react for the news from war recently – his mind refused to do it. Orcs! Those green-skinned monsters appeared from nowhere and deluged all the forests. They killed the guards with their axes and arbalests and began to capture Mirtana revealing all its problems: lack of discipline in the army, low level of soldier training, too huge power of clans, decreasing value of the power of King…

        But we have no time for thinking it over because the most important thing now is defending the country from invaders. And it was becoming more and more difficult… The King did not sleep for three days. And he saw no solution for the current problem…

       Oh the Great Innos! Don’t leave us! Show us solution! Save us! Wizards of the kingdom keep magic barrier that prevent orcs from attack for three days but their forces are not endless! Orcs gathered around the barrier and are wating… Damned monsters! The King took a look at the strained faces of his general and supreme magus. They expressed desire of fighting for their Motherland up to the end. Unfortunately that was not sufficient.

        Monarch looked at the east. Old King couldn’t know that a ship with five travelers reached the shore in that land he took his look at. He couldn’t realize what they felt when saw that Mirtana was dilapidated by the hordes of orcs. And he couldn’t even imagine what happened when two sights burning with hate met in a small village of Ardea. Those were the sights of an orc and a human – conflict between them took place in Warcraft and did not come to an end yet.

Ork-police :-)

Something finishes... Something begins…

       The initial impressions are always the strongest ones. Especially when we are talking about the game you waited for such a long time. Naturally you demand high performance in this case. Developers put us into the thick of a battle from the very beginning. Your first task is liberation of Ardea from orcs. Remembering that orcs were good fighters in the Gothic 2 you feel uncomfortable first but then, when you clean your sword out of their blood you realize that in this game we take an ordinary action mess instead of smart and delicate fencing we had in the previous game of this series.

         Then you come to a conclusion that NPC of Gothic 3 was simplified in comparison with its “ancestors”. And announced superpowerful artificial intellect turned to be very ordinary. For example, a peasant that cannot rise from the bench and drinks water from a jug. Poor guy, he is not able to quench his thirst caused by scripts!
