GothicIII.com is a Fan site for The RPG game Gothic 3.
Gothic 3 is a fantasy-themed role-playing video game for Windows PC from the German game developer Piranha Bytes. It is the sequel to Gothic II. Gothic 3 opens with the Nameless Hero and his friends sailing to a new continent overrun with orcs, arriving in the Myrtana, the central region of the continent. The hero lost all his stuff from the previous game when his ship is stolen while he's onshore with Milten, Diego, Gorn, and Lester. Presumably this is the source of the orc invasion that was launched on Khorinis during the second chapter. These lands have no physical connection to Khorinis or the ruins of the penal colony. In these mountainous forests the orcs have enslaved the human kingdom with only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and the southern desert of Varant. The hero must decide whether 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 his own ends. Throughout the story, he is accompanied by a number of NPCs, some of whom are old friends. While this chapter brings forward friends from the previous title (Xardas, Diego, Milten, Gorn, Lester, Lee, and Vatras) it also introduces two new major characters; King Rhobar the Second (who ultimately was responsible for sending the Nameless Hero to the penal colony in the first game) and Zuben. While the king has a strong past as a bold leader, he now faces a near defeat; his fame on the decline. Zuben leads the Hashishin that inhabit the southern region of Varant.
The game was released on October 13, 2006 throughout the European Union in English, German, Spanish and Polish (in Polish being released on November 3, 2006). The North American version was released on November 20, 2006. The English edition from the UK was released as version 1.04. The North American version incorporated two patches, the first being 1.07, in its initial release at version 1.12. A Collector's Edition was also released containing bonus collectible material.
