![]() Sound: Gothic Franchise always kept an awesome profile at this section and Arcania was no exception.The Music is so atmospheric that literally draws you in, while the sound effects are good enough to make you laugh, anxious or excited depending on the situation.The Voice is a tough one.The Actors Did their Job and they did it well.But surely they could blow more passion if the developers pushed them more imo (or if they had hired a different voice actor maybe?).Where you cant go wrong is the Protagonist's voice!You have to love his lines whenever they try to put him on trivial guesting :) ![]() Graphics: Seriously?Some people dared to even question the graphics?.The game's graphics are based on Trinigy's Vision Engine 7 with some parts of Vision Engine 8 and they are plainly Great!The textures feel colorful and detail-ish while the Scenery gives off the great feeling of i-am-alone-in-a-wonderful-scenery-and-i-can-not-wait-to-explore-it that all previous Gothic games did in the past!When it rains it pours and literally you can see the rain going down your garments and the Objects around you.Character models are very nice but they could use some variety in NPC Faces as it kinda became boring starring at the same goofy peasant face over and over again!Overall the Graphic section get's a score of Story:You get in the shoes of a brand new nameless hero continuing the events of Forsaken Gods(That was indeed awful!) living in a peaceful island away from the war that the previous protagonist a.k.a Rhobar III is waging, in the name of Unity and Peace.After a plot twist you are found in the middle of things and your Main objective is none other than going against Rhobar the III.(No details for the sake of a spoiler free Review) Many people bashed at the story as non existent and generic etc etc.Well i can tell you that all of those accusations are bull!The story keeps the player's interest in high standards enough for finishing the game with a pleasant feeling of self achievement.Once again this is not KotOR or Dragon Age or Mass Effect so do not expect breathtaking cutscenes or Crazy plot twists!Some of them are there but merely significant to keep u there I mean have you seen the interview of the previous designing team of Gothic, Piranha bytes (Interview was about Risen 2)?Their workplace is like a cheap apartment, with bedrooms turned to offices!Well Piranha Bytes is like that and JoWood or Spellbound are no better!Their budget is low but even on those circumstances they created a nice rpg (YEA IT IS NICE) with many features to keep you playing for some time!Hence no matter who creates the game be it JoWood or Piranha Bytes or SpellBound they would never go Above 8.5 the most! But let's get down to it and prove those Numbskull haters wrong! It is a well know fact that this franchise had always a low budger. By rhymesmatter | Review Date: And why would the perfect score be 8.5?Because giving the game any more than that is like putting it in the same league as KotOR or NeverWinter Nights or Dragon Age etc.
