Gothic 3: New info in PC Action preview

In the upcoming edition of the German games magazine PC Action will be another big preview of Gothic 3. It contains a lot of new info. Here's a (very short) summary with some of the highlights:

• There will be around 550 different quests, of which 25 belong to the main story. It won't be possible to do all quests in one game, because a large part is only available when a certain group favours you.
• The hero will have 9 different attributes.
• There are about 70 different talents/perks in seven different professions:
  • Fighting (17)
  • Hunting (10)

  • Thief skills (11)
  • Alchemy (7)
  • Other talents (6)
  The developers think it will be possible zto reach about level 30. For every level you'll get the usual 10 learning points and every skill or talents costs 5 LP.
• It'll take about 50 hours to finish the main story. For the rest of the quests you'll need another 100 hours.
• The player will spend about 60% of the time in the woods and fields of Myrtana. The other 40% will be spend in the desert area of Varant and the snowy planes of Nordmarr, about 20% each.
• There are around 1000 different items to be found in the entire world.
