On the bright side: The devs are still active on the forums from time to time. They have reinstated that the only thing left to do is the sleeper temple and on November 4 (THIS YEAR ) one of them confirmed that they are "close to the finishing line"
I've been delaying a full replay of the Gothic series (plus G3 addon + Arkania!) forever. Knowing my luck, I'd start a playthrough, and just when I finish Gothic 1, the Reloaded version would be released
. That's why I keep on being patient which, frankly, is easier than ever with so many other games to play...
