Q: Don't you feel unpleasantly, working on the title which not initially yours? What experiences in RPG sphere do you actually have?
A: We are happy to working based on the most successful German RPG universe arising from digital media. If you work based on a universe established by another team - you have to be aware of the effort, love and dedication given to create this universe. The Gothic Universe will be treated with a lot of respect by Spellbound. We plan to take all actions possible to keeping the story, the setting and all the other aspects of Gothic 4 consistent with the universe as much as possible.
As for RPG-Experience: People from the team at Spellbound or me have been involved in the creation of many RPGs (around 15 as far as I know). You may have heard of the Realms of Arkania series - myself being involved. It sold several million units and was able to collect a variety of awards. So if you look both at the numbers of games we were involved in as well as into critical acclaims collected - the team does bring some credit to the table.
Obviously we have no idea how Gothic 4 will turn out, but this interview actually eases my mind a bit.
