Awakening of Evil

I played Gothic 3, and not just once. I simply forgot the quests from the second mission of this Campaign. But yes, there is a very strong similarity.

Another very noticeable similarity with the Gothic series is the nonsensical explanation of how the hero loses all his skills and abilities each time. After 2 maps, this gimmick didn't appeal to me very much. I sincerely apologize in advance for what I'm about to say, but I can't put it any other way; I've already spent a lot of time on the Campaign (about 3 days, and only 2 maps have been completed).
Yes, I understand that randomness is good, and balance in strategy games is built on randomness. But when, on the 3rd map, at the very beginning, the artifact guarded by Death Knights was a Scroll of Phantom Creation in my first playthrough, and in the second playthrough, it was Dragon Bone Greaves, I don't need this randomness, GIVE ME MY SCROLL!!! First, I have to recover from the fact that I have to level up my character again on each map, then recover from the terrible plot and dialogues (forcing a canonical hell with the devil into any of the Heroes universes (or the creator simply replaced them with the concepts of Overlord and Shio for some reason) seems like such nonsense to me that I simply couldn't read the dialogues; in the first map, there are the lands of the Wood Elves, where all races live except for the Wood Elves, among whom there are a lot of their dark brethren who want to join the player character. The plot is, of course, not the main thing in the Heroes universes, and it can be sacrificed for the sake of gameplay, but this theater of the absurd somehow greatly affects my peace of mind), then recover from the lag in the 3rd scenario(!), which I have never had on any other map. I'm afraid I just won't be able to complete the 3rd map.
