Gothic 3 is a fantasy-themed role-playing game for Windows from the German game developer Piranha Bytes. It is the sequel to Gothic II. Although widely available in English, the native release of the game is German.
The player must complete quests and slay wild animals and monsters to earn experience and improve skills. The game is reputation centric allowing the player to side with a faction. While there are six factions in the game, only three are joinable: the Rebels, the Orc mercenaries and the Hashishin. The remaining factions are the Rangers, the Nomads and the people of Nordmar. The player is able to take advantage of missons to allow either side to take over towns. Dialog changes according to in-game actions and behavior. The game places a special focus on the interactivity of the environment.
Are there any stretched 2D elements that hurt the gameplay? For example, are there any "to scale" maps where being able to accurately judge distances is important? Or are there any stretched 2D screens that are used for gameplay events?
==Cut-scenes==
You said the cut-scenes are "rendered." Do you mean rendered within the game's 3D engine, or pre-rendered (AKA FMV)? I'm guessing they're FMVs - the water looks a little too good to be rendered ingame.

No, it has no effect on the gameplay.

Are you sure you can't get certain resolution like '1280 x 768'? What about editing the g3.ini file from C:Program FilesGothic IIIIni? If I wasn't wrong, I read thread about modifying the game in other forum.

Thanks it works, but the file is somewhere else.

Compared to the previous patch (1.74), CP 1.75 offers widescreen support for the menus, new graphics options (like color grading and FXAA), and decreasing of stuttering by using a shader cache.
I've updated the widescreen details for Patch 1.75. Widescreen resolution detection seems to be greatly improved with this version, e.g. 1280x768 is now listed in-game and doesn't need the previous workaround.
Could someone with a multi-monitor setup test whether multi-monitor resolutions still need the ge3.ini workaround?
The final community patch seems to fix alot of issues. I run 4000x1800 on 15 monitors using softh and it works perfectly, just had to select the resolution from in-game. Menus and FOV are perfect.
