And yeah (and I said this many times around here), Gothic is for me, as well, pinnacle of open-world action RPGs. Not that I think it's flawless, there are a lot, and I mean a lot of improvements that genre would benefit from - but unfortunately, except for smaller devs like PB, genre is heading in completely different direction, becoming action-adventure with some RPG elements sprinkled in, so I'm glad PB is sticking to their roots, despite obvious temptations to go the route of some other developers.

I was put off with the setting at first too. Sure I would've liked a pure fantasy world much more but at its core ELEX is Gothic. And believe me, I am 24h into the game now and 95% of the time I am fighting with bow and arrow against people with axes and swords and crossbows and against scavengers and molerats and boars.

How dare you bundle me up and mass-reply? I demand personal treatment.
