Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition released

In what’s gradually becoming a series tradition, Gothic 3 stand-alone expansion Forsaken Gods has been re-released in a format which reportedly works.

Big Download reports the Trine Games-developed expansion has been given a serious polishing by Mad Vulture Entertainment.

As well as an overhaul to graphics and audio, the Enhanced Edition sports “completely revised” gameplay and combat. And, of course, a massive dose of bug fixes.

Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition is available now on Steam, and if you’ve been burned by this franchise before, never fear – the whole series is on sale at the moment, and a gamble on this one will only set you back $2.50.

The original Forsaken Gods was released in 2008 to near-universal derision, proving almost unplayable before patching and merely thoroughly broken thereafter. Its parent game, Gothic 3, received a similar though less extreme reception.

KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Gothic 2 was the best RPG ever made and even Gothic 3 was decent after 2 years of community patches, but ever since Jowood took the IP away from Piranha Games and outsourced it to Trine Software the franchise went downhill.

I agree Gothic 2 was the best, now the times have changed as games become polished to that level, that player does`t have to rely on game glitch to finish games, as I was trying to accomplish that in Gothic 3. I really feel deep regret of buying Gothic 3 on release date, as it was f*ckin unplayable, and magic flawed as hell.

I recommend for easy and enjoying RPG experience two games: Two Worlds 2 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Gothic 2 with the addon was the best.

But this is FORSAKEN SHIT that does not deserve a mention.
