Yeah. And basically the same goes for quests and decision making, which is to a degree a problem of all Gothic games bar the third one.

I really hope they won´t abandon the dungeon crawling element.
They were certainly on the right track in Risen. Fewer, better designed dungeons with some multiple paths/puzzle solutions for different builds would be great.
This element is sorely lacking in the action/RPG genre.
