I like how brief and to the point some of Mike's replies were. He just tells it like it is without trying to sugarcoat anything..

Gothicz.net: You were planning Gothic as a trilogy, but despite of that Gothic 3 had an open ending. Why did you make this decision? Was JoWooD involved in it, because they might not wanted to end a series, which was actually on the top that time?

Mike: Lack of time.
