ladybug41: The worst RPG i have ever played! Inventory too full of useless stuff, impossible to travel anywhere because of enemies you are not trained for because you cant access enough points to beat them, totally frustrating, glad i only wasted 3.99
gothic 3 was a bit wild, but you just didn't try it serious.
on release, yea, the boar in the first bunch of trees outside the beach village would do athousand hits within 5 seconds, but that was fixed quickly. the game has an open world with almost all enemies present from the beginning, so you can challenge yourself, but if the game is challenging you too much, you simply didn't go to where you were supposed to go to and so you met enemies you weren't meant to meet yet.
that being said, if you give it another try, i've played it twice (once twohand, once dualwield) and my back-then best friend played it as firemage; we came to the conclusion that firemage was overpowered. so, for a quick runthrough, maybe go with that. for a unique gameplay, go dualwield, it's super fun to swing sharpened poisoned masterswords left & right with left & right mouse buttons (and yes there's a legitimate way to get 2, i found it back then w/o inet).
despite some bad critics, i liked the game quite much. the world felt a bit empty, but better that than "gothic 4 arcania" with it's absurd wannabe storyline.
