Upon brief inspection, it feels... it's hard to explain, but it just feels kind of "light" compared to Oblivion. Of course I'm gonna give it a chance and go through the demo. Basically it's a third-person RPG pushed by the Jowood people(Austrian publisher, known for pushing out not-so-good games). People seem to like Gothic 1 and 2 specifically, and they have what seems like quite a dedicated community. I love games like that because with a dedicated community, the mods shall flow.

Interesting, I enjoyed Gothic 3, so I might well take a look at this

Looks cool, downloading now.

Is this the same Gothic whose previous installment was buggy as hell?

This was not made by Piranha Bytes. If you wan the "real" successor to the Gothic franchise, get "Risen".

Gothic 3 was so bug-ridden, because the team bit off more than they could chew - the world was "too big" to be so polished and populated with interesting things as we've come to expect from Gothic 1 or 2...

...and JoWoods rushing the team didn't help either.

It was pretty buggy, but I found it a lot more atmospheric than Oblivion. Don't get me wrong, Oblivion is the better game, but, out of the box, the Gothic 3 world just 'felt' better defined.

the Gothic 3 world felt alive. None of the Elder Scrolls Games ever did.  Gothic 1 for the win though    (actually Baldur's Gate 2 but to comparing a game to that is unfair)

Patch Gothic 3 up to 1.7 and you will be excited

Yep, use the community patch and Questpaket, and Gothic 3 is still awesome   However, Gothic 2 and Addon NotR always gave me the best feeling of a game world.

Risen somehow sucked IMO. Graphic wasn't bad (except the faces of the persons), but fighting system sucked and was very frustrating. I haven't played the demo of Arcania yet, though I think I will simply buy the game, I waited a long time for this
