I could be mis-remembering, but didn't the a movie and preview screenshots of Gothic 3 show some fantastic looking water with reflections?

In game I currently have transparent water, with an animated ripple image, and underwater refractions. But there's no reflections of anything above the water.

Is there a way of enabling reflections anywhere?

EDIT: for example this screenshot http://worldofgothic.de/screenshots/gothic3/screen07.jpg looks nothing like my game :(

I don't see a setting in any ini file, odd.

probably had to be removed because of technical difficulty or no time to properly implement it.

Water reflections were left out because of performance and texture memory issues.

That´s not a screenshot, it´s a rendered image to illustrate what the developers wanted to achieve at that time. Looks like they couldn´t implement everything.
