When Gothic 3 hit the shelves earlier this year it was met with mixed reactions. Some (including Gaming Heaven) thought the game had a lot of potential and was enjoyable enough to ignore some of it's rather glaring shortcomings . Others however werent as forgiving and gave the game developers a hard time. Unfortunately for the games developers soon bit the dust, so any real hopes Gothic 3 had of becoming what it was meant to be were snuffed out then and there. But just as RPG fans started losing hope for a more dark, brutal fantasy RPG ... out of nowhere (well, not really the game has been on every RPG players list for a while now) came The Witcher with its dark, almost realistic approach at fantasy adventuring.
