Huh. Gothic3 is FILLED with empty headed characters (who wander around mumbling to themselves) and look-alike locations. In that respect it is little different than Oblivion.

Yeah, but the ones in Gothic world are more interesting for some reason. I think:
- they are quirky in mannerism and speech.
- they speak in fragments that seem like you're catching parts of a conversation. In Oblivion it feels like they try for the speech to actually make sense - which actually makes it feel more like nonsense to me.
