Product Description
Travel to the realms of the mainland, where invading Orcs have enslaved the human kingdom. In Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods, there are only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and in the southern desert of Varrant. A handful of rebels are hiding in the mountainous forests of the Middle Realm. You can choose to join the rebellion and stay true to the deposed human king, serve the Orcish usurpers in their quest to topple the last remaining human stronghold, or choose a path that serves your own ends. Every decision made will have an impact on the game world and tip the balance of power. There is no simple linear story in Gothic 3 - every game will be different and unique. You decide the fate of humankind ultimately. Gothic 3 Collector's Edition contains the most up-to-date version of Gothic 3, the complete version of the Forsaken Gods add-on, a ?Making of Gothic" DVD, the Official Soundtrack CD and a full-color map.

Great Game, but it's Crash-tastic January 4, 2009
Warwind

There is a great game here; when it works, it's hugely fun. At other times, it crashes to the desktop A LOT. As in a few times per hour. (Yes, my drivers are all up-to-date; I'm really good about keeping everything current.) It does condition one to save often.
Before using a teleport stone, don't forget to "quick" save in case that causes a crash and need to "quick load" (a very humorous use of the word "quick", since it takes ages.) After every group of kills, save the game. If you've gone any sizable distance on the map and don't want to have to re-trace your steps, save the game. Before equipping any items in your inventory, save the game. You get the idea.
The game also freezes momentarily every 20 seconds or so (loading terrain maybe?), which I suppose I can live with. But it's annoying when you're in battle and you die because the game froze at the wrong time.
Well it sounds as though I don't like the game, but that's not the case. As I said, when all is working properly, the game is really fun. After spending a long time tweaking the in-game video settings to get a relatively smooth frame rate, I have to say the graphics are really nice and very scalable. It's especially fun to just wander about and see the sights, meet new and interesting creatures, and kill them. There are plenty of hidden secrets just waiting to be found, so there is a great incentive to explore.
It's also amusing that after fighting for the Rebels, liberating several cities, and killing scores of Orcs in the process, the Rebels still don't like me enough to sell me--SELL me, not give me--their best armor. But please continue to fight for us some more, kthxbye.
I haven't finished the main game yet, nor played the expansion, but I'm looking forward to experiencing the rest of the story. If you buy this, you will have fun, but remember to save often!
