Gameplay
![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (August 2009) |
Gameplay in Forsaken Gods is like in Gothic 3, with some small differences. The fight system has changed, now being based on Endurance. The gameplay area in Forsaken Gods has been restrained from the 3 parts in Gothic 3, to just one part - Myrtana. The main plot is concentrated only in this area.
Plot
After awakening from a coma which, presumably, was induced by the first game, the nameless hero must find a way to unite the continent, as it has been divided by numerous factions, many of which are aided or led by the Nameless Hero's former companions. Through his own means, the Hero must reunite Myrtana as to finally restore the land to peace and prosperity.

Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1] It was largely the result of excessive bugs in release which to date had not been entirely resolved by patching.
Updates
In November 2010, JoWooD Entertainment announced that Mad Vulture Games would work on additional improvements for the game. The first patch was announced for Q1 2011.
On March 22, 2011, JoWooD Entertainment released the new patch via Steam, integrated within the new boxed version for the game titled Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition. The major patch is also available as a free download.[5]
The final version, 2.01.08, was officially released through the Mad Vulture Games website on December 18, 2011, and made available for free download similarly to the previous versions.[6]
