That said, Gothic 3 takes the awful magic system from the first two games and actually makes it viable. It's almost ironic, magic finally works, but melee really suffers for it.

Without spoiling too much, I took the neutral stance. I didn't turn in the 12 fire chalices, and I didn't side with anyone far enough to liberate cities. You're presented with three directions: you can side with Innos, Beliar, or a third option that Xardas explains later. The game kicks off during the battle of Ardea, and you're reunited with the old crew, but they split off pretty quickly. You're introduced to the Rebels right away, but try to keep an open mind if you want to get the most out of the experience. There's no way back to your ship, so you're forced to adapt and become part of the chaos sweeping across the land.

The game feels much more open world than its predecessors. There are no chapters, and beasts respawn after a while, which is nice for hunting. You can visit any city at any time and start working on quests, or you can do the bare minimum to finish the main story. You can learn spells for all the gods, brew potions, cook food, and equip loads of items. There's genuinely a lot to do in Gothic 3, and it's well worth the time.

I'd give it a 7/10, but only because I played as a mage. If I'd stuck with the melee playstyle I originally planned, I probably wouldn't have finished the game.
