Agreed!

Nice to see some stiff competition in the RPG genre. Bottom line is... we all win!! :shades:

I just hope they actually make an user interface this time thats somewhat streamlined... I mean, the 1 and 2 UI was craptacular and took some time getting used to it.

I'm sure that I'm missing out, but I've tried both Gothic 1 and 2 and could never get used to the interface. At least allow me to pick my own keys for movement. Admittedly it was a demo of each game that I tried.

Those screens do look nice, though.
