Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Did they fix Gothic 3 yet?

I'm a big fan of Gothic 2 and found it to be tons more fun than its competition, Morrowind, a few years back. When Gothic 3 came out, it received a lot of below average scores, many citing bad clues and game crippling bugs. I see plenty of copies of Gothic 3 going for ~$15 on ebay but I'm wondering if the game has been patched enough to be worth my time.
The big problem repeated over and over was something about combat animations keeping you down - has this all been fixed?

It will most certainly be the final patch.
I read a long time ago in a dev interview that it will consist of a new "world file" which will fix many problems (for example bushes which float in the air) which couldn't be fixed with small patches. That is the reason why they are targeting for a "big final patch". The combat system should be further improved as well.
I'm holding out for this patch myself, I bought the game on release but it was just too buggy for my taste.
Some critical bugs have already been fixed in earlier patches, most notably the infamous "ambient sound bug" which even reviewers didn't notice. This bug was the final straw for me to stop playing and I haven't played again since then.
If I were you I would wait for this supposed last patch as well.
Second important point: There is a big difference betwee animals and humanoid enemies (orcs, humans etc.) in the game.
Boars (and most other animals) belong to the fastest enemies in the game, once you are in stunlock in most cases you die. That means if you make one or two mistakes you are dead. You can win every fight without be getting hit, tough, but it's very difficult.
In contrast humanoid enemies are incredibly easy because you can just spam the rightclick attack which is a fast attack with forward movement. You will win everytime.
In short animals have to become easier humanoids have to become tougher.
And man, this is probably the biggest necro I've ever seen.
I tried playing it, some time late last year, but the numerous crash to desktops just started getting worse and worse till the point it was completely unplayable after 40 hours or so? So... not really recommended

Hey you! Did you end up buying it?
Well, yeah, the Witcher is fantastic. I'm trying to decide between getting Gothic 2 or 3 and going back and forth a lot. Opinions GO!
I guess I might have to start a new thread to get a decent response.
And I say that as someone who had to restart Gothic 1 three times because all my 20+ saves got corrupted.
