Gothic 3 Interview

The guys at Firing Squad were able to track down Aspyr's Blaine Christine and quiz the executive producer about Pirahna Bytes' upcoming Gothic 3.
Q: What are some of the dev team's favorite creatures in the game so far?

A: Well, there are a huge number of creatures in the game, some old and some new, but I think there is little doubt that the Minecrawler is an all-time favorite. This ugly creature is a cross between a preying mantis and a tarantula to my eye. With the new animation system they are using in Gothic 3, its movement is very creepy (as you would expect) and their size is daunting when you first encounter one in the game. Another nasty creature is the Ogre, but I think the main attraction for this ugly foe is their sheer size and the fantastic modeling and texture work that went into its creation. As with the Minecrawler, the first time you encounter one of these guys, you will definitely think twice about attacking him.
