Arcania: Gothic 4 Preview

The folks at gamestyle have treated us to a quick preview of Arcania: Gothic 4, though it really doesn't bring anything new to the table at this point.  Still, a snip is mandatory: 
All the key ingredients for a memorable RPG adventure are here with a massive world, customisation, an unpredictable storyline and plenty of intense combat. Things kick off on your home island that basically acts as a tutorial landscape for what lies ahead. Eventually you will have to select your career path, becoming either an archer, swordsman or our choice, a wizard. The game has been in development for several years and Spellbound have made the most of this opportunity to remove any technical issues that sometimes blight epic releases such as these. Fans will be thankful for this focus as technical issues and accessibility problems hampered the third game in the series. The 360 version will feature a special interface that will hopefully allow players to enjoy the game and not navigate a series of menus in search of a desired action.
