I didn't encounter any broken quests or crashes in my 65 hours with the latest community patch installed along with the newest (as of the time of this writing) Update Pack which fixes some of the lingering issues and adds some really nice quality of life features to the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

Better story, mechanic, especially Gothic 2, I'd definitely love to play G2 some day.
Graphics

The contrasting visual works beautifully with the context of the story, balancing the dark nature of the story and the calming and breathtaking long trips in between, and also it did a fine job to cover its otherwise average at best textures and models.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

✅Soundtrack is the biggest plus of this game, I've never heard better
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I should probably say that melee combat combo system is terrible but with the patches and correct difficulty setting it makes you learn it and use somewhat skillfully, alternative AI setting surely forbids the attack spamming.
