There are three camps inside a magical barrier. Inbetween these camps are smaller buildings, ruins, lots of open ground etc..

Is this the whole game? Will the whole game be played inside this barrier or is the game inside the barrier only a small part (I hope)

And how much of the full game are we playing in the demo? 1/2, less, more?

Thanks if anyone knows.

EDIT - I've been looking at a German fansite and they have info about NPC's in the other 2 camps, how would they know? Is this game out already in some countries?

Gothic was released in D/AU/CH six months ago. It (reportedly) sold pretty well despite some serious marketing mistakes.
A sequel was announced, the worldwide publisher will be JoWood Productions. It was part of the Phenomedia/JoWood deal a few weeks ago.

Virtually every German language print- or onlinemag reviewed G. Ratings between 82% and 95%, average appr. 88%.

The complete game takes place inside the barrier. Your task is destroying it.




************SPOILER alert!!!***********





There are 3 camps, some mines, some ruins, some dungeons, some NPCs in the wilderness, lots of Oks, a huge temple, lots of caves, powerfull (and spectacular) animals and monsters, many different locations, ...

maps and walkthrough can be found here:

If I interpret it correctly, the parts of the demo PB _wanted_ you to play are appr. 10% of the game.
Most people on the fan sites played the full game more than once, some more than 10 times.

What most people are interested in right now, for the demo, is placing the other two camps in.

Just because we have the demo doesn't mean that we don't have the right to see the other camps!

Oh, and some way to add in Cavalorn. He's cool.

the best way i've seen te realm of gothic described in size is the following taken from JW's worldy knowledge and other ways to ignore time.
"Gothic though it seems small in size inside the magic barrier is quite large. Each colony has it's own way of life and what looks like a few meters on the maps you can buy ingame seem more like 20. There are alot of small details that make the game seems incredibly large without comprimising game performance."
so JW has bad words i hope it's understandable as it is to me. blah blah blah. im drunk so im just bltahering.
