Gothic 3: New preview and screens

Another preview of Gothic 3 has been posted. This time it's an english two-page preview yahoo.com. Below you can read a passage about forging in Gothic 3.

Gothic has a new crafting system that we were able to try at a smithy, which had stations such as a sharpening stone, an anvil, a forge, and a cooling bucket. To make an item, we had to work at each of these stations, processing raw materials and then refining them into weapons according to the character's skills. If you modify your skills with the right perks, you'll be able to create magical weapons. Of course, you'll need to find some magical ore. Crafting also works for more mundane goods. Campfires, for instance, are used to cook food.

Furthermore some new sets of screens were released, mostly based on the recalled Goldmaster:

• PC Games Online
  Made from the old Goldmaster they used for a ten page article in the upcoming issue of PC Games magazine (German).
  
• PC Games hardware
  Also the hardware section has a new load of pictures. Several of them are very interesting and certainly worth checking.
