Yeah, I was expecting a lot more from Lee; hell, I was expecting a lot more from all the NPCs. It was a crying shame to see the major characters from Gothic I & II reduced to cardboard cutouts with little to say and even less to do. Only the terrain design in Gothic III remains true to the overall quality of series, everything else is a but shadow of the previous games.
Hopefully an expansion pack will flesh out the major NPCs, improve the story and fix some of the other issues.
