I see some references OP's made about this game. I remember installing
then uninstalling when it first came out. I had a tough time with the
bugs and jittering, etc.,

I see mention was made here about "Forsaken Gods". I resume it's an
add-on. I then went out on the web to look for patches. There were so
many to sort through, so here I am asking.

My question is-I have the original, plain old Gothoc 3. From what I
gather, I can get Forsaken Gods EE and that will have all the patches
needed to get the game to run properly or do I have to patch the game
and then the EE separately? I see it offered on Steam for 10.00 or so.
Does the EE get good enough game play to make it worth the money? Thanks

Diane

You have understandably got some what lost .

There is GOTHIC 3 it has many patches but the only one you need to
worry about is the last / most recent Gothic_3_Community_Patch_v1.74.
That contains all the patches that have gone before.
The game is greatly improved from the release state.
@@@

GOTHIC 3 FORSAKEN GODS This is a stand-alone sequel...does not need Gothic 3
..
Its set in the same game world ...uses the same basic maps... of Gothic 3.
Its not as big or as full as G3.

Forsaken Gods was in an unbelievable bad unfinished state at release.
Any reviews you may find will reflect this.
BUT the Community Patch team have repeatedly slaved over it
& the most (out very recently) 2.01 Patch contains all the patches that
have gone before
& makes it all ok.

Thanks a lot...I went to one of the forums looking for some help with
what I needed to do to patch G3 and saw a list of 20 or so patches.

Hope I find the game somewhat more satisfying now than the first go-round.

Gothic 3 just needs Community patch V1,74 This raises it to the
Enhanced Version and removes all disk-based copy-protection.
The Enhanced manual is part of the V1.74 distribution. It appears as a
..pdf in the game directory after the patch installation and is
mandatory reading. There are several game-play user-options added to
the original game.

(The V1.74 update does not remove any DRM imposed by
game-download distributors, including Valve/Steam.)

--------------------------------------------

Forsaken Gods is an entirely STAND-ALONE release.
FG Patch 2.01 updates any version of Forsaken Gods to
the latest Enhanced version.

The version of FG on Steam goes on deep-discount sale pretty
frequently and was originally released (Spring 2011) as the V2.0
Enhanced version. It may now have been auto-patched to V2.01.

Thanks for the additional info.

I loaded the game and the community patch that was previously
recommended by TB onto my laptop. It seems to run pretty well. The
laptop has an I5 CPU, an NvidiaM video card and Win7-64 bit. Actually
I'm pretty impressed with the trouble free game play so far, but I have
been able to play only an hour or so.

Appreciate the assistance.
