Elden Ring vs Gothic 3
Elden Ring
Elden Ring is another souls-like adventure created by the masters of dark fantasy and extremely difficult games, FromSoftware. Instead of a restrictive world, you’ll be treated to a vast expanse full of explorable open fields and massive dungeons. As the Tarnished, a character you can fully customize, you’ll fight all manner of enemies, from wyverns and armored knights to gigantic, grotesque beings straight out of a dark fantasy novel. You can play according to your preferred playstyle; do so by combining the game’s massive roster of weapons, armor, and magic so you can create the type of warrior you want, whether you’re aiming for a close-quarters combatant or a spell user.The game features an epic, multilayered story told in fragments. Its lore was made with inputs from renowned A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin, guaranteeing that every castle you explore, enemy you encounter, and dungeon you conquer will yield a rich backstory. Elden Ring also features an asynchronous online element, along with its direct multiplayer, where you can explore its world with friends and fellow Tarnished.
Gothic 3
Gothic 3 lets continue your adventure as the nameless hero of Khorinis and decide which side to side with - King Rhobar and his last troop of followers or the despicable Hashishin who has sided with the orcs that are causing chaos across Myrtana. The game, like the two before it, are driven by its story and the path of its narrative is largely driven by the players' own choices. The world is as open as ever and you can meet and interact with a host of interesting characters. The game even has a class-free character development system that is admittedly increasingly rare in recent days.That said, Gothic 3 may be fun back in the day, but the game hasn't managed to hold up the passing of time unfortunately. Due to this, if you do plan on getting this game, you might want to consider getting some mods.
