• To make sure the player won't get lost in the huge world of gothic 3 the land will be divided in several area's that are bordered by type of land/art. For example the mountain scenery of Nordmarr compared to the desert of the south. But you will still be able to move freely though these area's like in the predecessor.
  
  
• In the story the main thing will be that there's something cooking in divine spheres and a real adventurer will be able to play a significant part in the war between the three gods. Besides that there will be a real lively and detailed story with a maze of guests and side-quests.
  When the hero reaches the mainland the kingdom of King Rhobar 2 will be struck down, but the orcs seem to have different goals than just taking over the kingdom...
  
  
• The world of Gothic 3 will be more real. Not like in Khorinis that all kinds of landscapes were mixed together. The creators are more looking to the real world to create an even better and authentic world.
  
  
• The concept "Guild" will change. In gothic 2 and 1 the guilds were lije a red wire though the story. In G3 there will still be different fractions and a lot of quests in the interest for one another, but a possible option to choose a guild will be less drastic as in G2 and 1.
  
  
• About different endings(!): The movements and action of the player will be analysed by the engine, because of this very different ways of playing are possible. These will probably also lead to different endings, but a final decision isn't made yet.
  
  
• About difficulty:
  PCG asks: In a previous interview was said that the difficulty in G3 will be somewhat reduced. What can we imagine to see? Less monsters? Less free-movement? So that you can't walk into the difficult areas at a too low level.
  KaiRo: Less free-movement is not an option. To prevent players to walk into too hard areas we will need to come up with different solutions. While G2 was too easy and the addon so hard that even profi's had a hard time (I'm sure not everyone will agree with that), is there even on the field of game-balancing a lot to accomplish to create an extra-ordinary Game-feeling.
  
  
• Then there's something technical about the engine. DirectX 9 and higher (as soon as it's available). The newest Pixel-Shaders and so on, without letting to real Gothic feeling go away. They will keep it the sam style only much better.
  
  
• As we already know the hero will not be a total wimp. But that doesn't mean you'll start the same way as you finished G2. Some skills will be present and you will improve as the story goes. They don't want to give a lot of spoilers, that's for sure .
  
  
• The Fighting-system will change. The moves will be more realistic and the choreografy will be significantly improved. The "Enemy-focus" used in G2 will also change.
  
  
• About jobs: In the world of humans there will be several key role like: smiths, guards, bakers etc. who are taking care of the well-being of the rest of the people. You will be able to help most of the special npc's or in case some of them dies by some tragical reason, you will be able to take over his job.
  
  
• There will be new game-elements, but the developers are not trying to re-invent the wheel, so the basics will be the same. There will be several innovations that will give the Gothic-feeling a new impuls.
  
  
• The developers have collected a lot of ideas and feedback from fans after G2 and the addon and also have some points of criticism themselves about the predecessors. They will look at them and see how the can improve those things. For example: There were a lot of complaints about the large distances you had walk (even with the teleportrunes), despite the large areas in Gothic 3 this will be no longer the case (Is this a hint towards riding animals??).
  
  
• To end this translation:
  PCG: How far are you with the development of the game?
  KaiRo: Too far, to turn back, but not far enough to begin the final sprint.
