The preview goes through the basic story leading up to the game, what the game is like, how the controls are, and some more bits of info. Heres a snippet: Classified as an action RPG, Gothic is heavy on the action and questing, characteristics of gameplay made possible by the title's simplified, almost Tomb Raider-esque control scheme, at least in terms of general wandering, where player handling is done via a simple and entirely keyboard interface. Forward and back move forward and back respectively; left and right turn your character in those directions; strafing is accomplished by using the jump button in conjunction with either left or right arrow keys to strafe in those directions; and, climbing is done by way of simply walking up to the surface wished mounted and pressing jump. It's also Tomb Raider-ish in that the camera is set in a fixed position following the player, and looking is done only through a first person toggle where movement is not allowed (basically the standard, expected set of stuff). Check it out if interested right here.
