Mood
   

This may not be a topic of great interest amoungst all Gothic fans, but I was wondering what people were hoping mood of Gothic 3 would feel like.

In my opinion the mood of the Gothic games has always been critical to what makes the series so great and unique. In the old camp of Gothic there was a feeling of an unstable order maintained soley by the bullying will of the Ore Barons and their cronies. Everyone was armed, and people whispered about "being careful about what you talked about" and if you weren't wary you could be ambushed and beaten to a pulp by some thug who was paid to punish you for not paying your protection money. The uneasy feeling was also very similar to what you found in Korhinis, where the the farmers told of Orcs at the outskirts of their land, and where you'd even find one a not far from the gates of Korhinis itself!


Personally I hope the mood in G3 is closest to the feel you got when you returned to the Valley of Mines to find the world turned upside down and hell on earth. The opressing and downbeat music, the blasted and burned landscape, the hoardes of orcs and the scattered pockets of despairing and sometimes doggedly determined survivors. Imho it was an awesome and totally unique atmosphere that's never really been mimiced by any other game I've played. Only Guild Wars' post Searing world and Final Fantasy 6's World of Ruin come close. And when you think of it the invasion of the valley it's just another part of the invasion of Myrtana, so it should hopefully feel very similar, but on a much larger scale. And with even more panic!

Anyway, what do you guys think? Do you feel the same, or do you think the mood of Gothic could now use a change of tone with our hero finally arriving on the mainland? Maybe it should be more civilized and ordered in some places since there's some standing countries and cities that are more advanced that Kohrinis? Am I the only person who cares about this sorta niche topic?

Aye, they've said already that they're going for a more G1 kind of feeling, and that's what I want too. So far, the atmosphere in Gothic 1 is my absolutte favourite in any RPG. Also, read the new article uploaded by Gorath on GothicDot, says that they'll do anything to try and make it feel right.

That's good news!

Yes, it was explicitly said that the world was Gothicīs most important feature and that it still is Gothicīs most important feature.
