Before participating in this discussion, please, please, take care not to give away the very ending of Gothic 3, as I haven't yet finished the game.
Okay... so I haven't finished the game yet but I'm having a hard time making some decisions. I had the impression that Xardas was evil, partly from the conclusion of Gothic 2 and partly because he is sided with the orcs whom have enslaved and nearly destroyed the humans altogether. Orcs are evil because they follow Beliar (and for more descriptive reasons which are, of course, argumentative). However, after talking with Xardas he makes it sound like everything he's done so far is part of some grand plan to pretend to serve Beliar only to gain the power to either defeat Beliar or put the power of the Gods back in balance (or end the fighting in some way). Shamefully, I can't honestly remember how exactly Gothic 2 ended. I vaguely remember that Xardas was the undead dragon which I had to defeat. In defeating the dragon, I destroyed Xardas's power which threatened everyone. At that point I thought for sure that he was evil. Have I forgotten something or is there more to the story from Gothic 2 that I don't remember?
King Rhobar II or whichever the current King in Gothic 3 is... why did he throw Lee and I into the barrier in the original Gothic again? I forgot this bit of information as well... I'm tempted to get revenge but if the King had good reason then I may just let him live. Perhaps the King threw me into the barrier because the fire mages told him that I was special and in order to start the course by which a hero would emerge, he needed to toss me into the barrier? What about Lee? Didn't he say he was some great general in the King's army? What happened? Does the King deserve the throne or should it be handed to someone else? Will the human empire collapse even if I continue to fight for Innos (the humans) if I kill the King (debatable... think beyond the conclusion of Gothic 3)?
I'm hoping to get some fun, friendly and mature discussions going about whether or not Xardas and/or the King deserve(s) to die. What do you think? Why or why not?
