Gothic 3 E3 Interview

RPGDot had the opportunity to chat with JoWood's Stefan Berger during this year's E3 about the upcoming third installment in the Gothic series. An excerpt to follow:
Since Stefan is the brand manager for the Gothic series, I pitch a question which should be up his alley: "Gothic I was a bit underground here in North America and Gothic II was more well-known. Do you think Gothic III will follow suit and be even more popular than its predecessors?"

"We think so, because Gothic I was just thought of as a hard-core game out of Germany: 'It is a typical role-playing game.' 'It is hard to control.' So for number III we said, we need to make it much easier to control for every player and we need to do a much bigger PR campaign. Also, we are working much closer together with our fans. We are listening to them on the forums and plan on releasing more screenshots and videos as we progress. We also want to work more with the modding community after the game is released."
