Get in here!
>>740663584I hope there's a mod soon to give runes their original look. Not a fan of the new designs.
Out fucking skilled
after rummaging through ruins I got some really strange junknot your usual pans, brushes, cutlery or goblets but wooden toy parts and some kind metallic horn thing that looks like an armor for scavenger mount it's labeled as junk though is it ok to sell or will I need this shit 50 hours later for some obscure quest?
Nice looking water
>>740663687DIEGO NO! ... oh yeah and the nameless hero is there too...
>>740663764IIRC, there is a new quest about the toymaker added into the game.
>>740663584I finished playing Gothic 1 some months ago should I get this or jump straight into Gothic 2 instead?
>>740663687The performance looks horrendous.Was Gothic 1 always a trash game?
>Kill two snappers>Six more come running at meJoke's on them. Those fucking wolves in the woods between old camp and swamp camp taught me how to backpaddle and fight enemies by the dozen!
>>740663809there was a letter from toymaker near the toy parts but it didn't start a quest after I read itanyway thanks, will keep the junk just to be sure
>>740663879Play Gothic 2 first and then once time has past play the remake.
>>740663687>Lightning strikes the ground instead of any of the tall trees nearbyWhat?
It's amusing that none of the Pirahna-likes allowed you to customize your character.I assume with Gothic 1, you couldn't pick a female Bezi, because that wouldn't make much narrative sense and also, addictional VA is costly, and afterwards it just became a part of the tradition in Risen and Elex. But I guess it could've been a neat experiment.
>lost more than half its players in less than a dayit's over. remaketrannies lost. cope and seethe.
>>740663978Beliar hates you.
>>740663780It's also tanking your FPS, probably. I hope they'll fix that
NOOO I SWEAR THE CENSORSHIP WAS FIXED I SWEAR BRO PLEASE PLAY MY SLOP BRO PLEASE
>this is just the very first chapterlowkey confirming Gothic 2 remake?
>another game where you need external tools to fix the HDRWhy is it so difficult to implement HDR? The game doesn't even have a calibration menu for suck sake.
>>740663982The target audience are euros in their 30-40's. Today is a week day. Most euros are at work.

>>740663982Wait for all the European boomers to come back home from work and boot it up my guy
>>740664046Why not? There has been positive reception but I hope for god the spaniards learn how into optimization.
this game spikes my temperatures harder than anything else i've played, i'm afraid to play it for too long
>>740664046>5 years for a remake in a pre-made engine with the most support of any engine ever madelmao what the fuck were they doing
>>740663584To whoever played it, how much have they added compared to the original?The original was rather thin on content and its best part, the intra- and inter-camp relations, would dry up pretty fast, devolving the game into an endless chain of random places with hordes of enemies there.Has this changed at all?
>>740664048Yeah I can't believe it either, it's unreal.
>>740663981Piranha Bytes was always working with a shoestring budget. Doing animations for a female player characters and shit was never in the possible. If I remember right they never had more than ~30 employees.
>>740664173Nexus has some engine mods that keep my 3060 at around 60 degrees, without it I got around 80.Still depends on the area.
>>740664208
>>740664210and went to shit when they did have more
>>740664046>of my journeyHe's just tooting his own horn
>>740664170It's a new studio assembled to work on Gothic. It's literally their only project so far. They are still on their learning phase. I'm sure it will get better. Well, better for Unreal standards. kekThe community isn't letting bad performance slide either. Go to their Twitter's account. There is always a group of people shitting on the performance.
>>740664173I would say my rtx 2070 super is staying surprisingly cold at stable 61/62 C without any spikes. The GPU temp graph is completely flat, usually there are spikes, but I get none. Also chrashed only once like 25 hours in, the game has been very stable for me.
>>740664198>To whoever played it, how much have they added compared to the original?Anon, the game launched less than a week ago. People are still figuring stuff out.
Every cooking recipe always goes like:>Meat.>Onions.>Potatoes.>Water.>Linaforiolosis, the flower of legend said to only grow in the highest peaks of the mythical land of Avalon, lost centuries ago to the great cataclysm.And no, you can't substitute it with thyme or something.
>>740664432Well despite common stereotypes the moors weren't lazy with the remake, so I guess I'll wait.
>>740663978Your weapons act as lightingrods
>>740664483NTA but at what settings and resolution are you playing it? Can you take a pic?
>>740664046Knela looks like a jew
>>740663687I am pretty sure Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 did the same thing if you equipped a metal armor during a storm.
>>740664509Well it's the legendary flower part that will let the stew give you 100 hp. Snaf is right when he compares cooking to magic.
>>740664509I'm going mad because water is kinda rare and expensive. You think you could just go to the river and fetch some, but no, gotta give like 30 ore to some asshole merchant for some fucking water.
>>740664605The legendary magic flower is equivalent to just eating 10 scavengers in a row.
>>740664621loot everything that isn't red tinted or nailed downswamp camp has shitload of water bottles just lying around

Gothic veteran here. Currently playing Death Stranding 2 but after i finish it i might pick it up. Was kinda on the fence but i hear good things. Btw this is my Gothic collection, i bought these in 2006 when G3 came out
>>740664780friends don't try to kill you on sight
>>740664703The legendary magic flower doesn't have to explain shit.

>>740664830Nice collection, anon.
>>740664509I was pissed by 'you need to grind the herbs and add them slowly' requirement but it was only a flavor text.I though I need to grind the herbs by hand because I found herb grinder junk item before but sold it for scratch long time ago.
>>740664932It's probably shenanigans from the game review board. What's acceptable in one year is discard in the next one and so it goes.
>>740664540Currently at work, but I play on 1080p, medium settings all, with shadows on low and post processing on lowest.
>>740665028That's reasonable and probably why you aren't getting hit with low FPS
>>740664780Can you actually ride snappers or are you only limited to scavengers?Because dino riding is metal as fuck.
>>740663982Check in 3-4h
>>740664198>back of the knee, maybe
>>740665194You don't get to choose, just blow the whistle and friendly scav arrives.But yeah, would be nice if you could tame other animals>riding a fucking shadowbeast
I was hoping for some comfy let's plays from unwxpecting zoomers getting filtered by the early game and cursing their existance, but it seems that it's only Germans, Poles and Russians who all know the game by heart that are doing let's plays of it.
>>740664621>go to the river and fetch somethen you die because it contaminated by scavenger corpses and goblins shitting in it upstreamyou need to get your water form some place where it touches the barrierit kills anything living disinfecting it and the lightning discharges make the water sparkly too
I'm shadow nowFor some reason I didn't get chievo for upgrading armor, maybe because I didn't pick last chest but this one looked better to me
>>740664830I've had original ru CD version of 2, back around 2006 as well. Wish I've had a time machine, so I could take all my discs and magazines with me from my old place.Think it was this one.
>>740665405dude weed lmao
>>740664432relatively surprised overall with the game desu.Absolutely loved the PB formula for these types of open world games, when I heard Spaniards were taking it over, it was a bit worrisome.But, god damn, if I didn't know any better I would have assumed it was still a PB title.I can't even complain about the performance; no crashes. FPS bouncing between 70-90(7900xtx, 5900XT, 32gb ram; 4k albeit with FSR3)
>>740665405What Unreal Engine game is this? They are all indistinguishable
Now I remembered that in Gothic 1's code, every female NPC was designated as a "creature" instead of a human, for the sake of various AI routines. It always cracked me up. I think they fixed that in Gothic 2.
>>740665416Tothka lol
Reach snapper monastery at night in my miner rags. Fumble deep through caves with torch in hand having no idea what I'm doing. Get deeper and deeper. Find sword of death, with louds steps nearby. It's a shadowbeast ... run frantically trying to find an exit. Reach a small meadow with the beast right behind me. Jump off a cliff hoping the fall won't kill me. Survive the fall with just 10% health.Pure kino
>>740665581yeah, you could tell when you played as one, all animations and such were completely different from human
>>740665416i looked everywhere for that girl on the cover what a lowly act of deception

>>740666106This but unironically
>>740666816Thing is we'd rightfully shit on the game if it was a complete disaster. But it's pretty good and many changes are done for the better. Lots of improvements. I guess the only negative change is the lockpicking but people will just either learn or find a walkaround to still enjoy the game
>>740663584>slopmake threadCan we ban these already?
>>740666958check your quest logbaals already talk to you when they give you quest but it's not enough to do the quest, you also need to report resultsalso if you bother Cor Calom the head guru he'll tell you which ones did already recommend you so you can focus on the remaining ones

>>740666958Did you steal shit from Cor Kalom and got caught? Also, you need to talk to that one Baal that wants you to recruit a follower, and specifically ask him if he supports you joining, even though he already told you he would.
>>740667041And there was shitting on the game back then when they released that playtest. Or now when it comes to performance/crashes on every platforms. Granted, then or now, it seems that bullying the developers get the job done. kek
>>740666958funny how this is exactly the kind of shit you'd see on a forum in 200Xholy fucking soul
>>740666113Its orcish symbol for sleeper
I seriously have no idea what they were thinking with that playtest.
>>740667298Always remember to collect your free joints every day!
>>740667568>free jointsyou can also get free soup in old campbut I didn't find anyone handing out free stuff in new camp
>>740667652The only free thing you get there is a house after beating a digga up
>>740666696Once you see fifty blank posts in a row alphabetically by country you start taking the opinions of "people" less seriously
>>740667423It's a reminder of how much fucking worse it could have been if people hadn't put their feer down and said "no".
mod for original german voices when
>>740667713>diggait was a bandit, and he threatened me he'll be backbut I slept there several times and nothing happenedwhen I stopped paying 'protection' money in old camp shit was worse
>>740666196Modified Thora art from the Gothic Sequel I'd sayhttps://gothicarchive.org/artworks/sequel.html
>>740667829Hes a nobody there, if you talk to Gorn after he mentions someone else would send someone to beat him up anyway for taking that hut
>>740667652Swiney in the mine there hands you an entry level armor for free if you lie to him about previous job experience
>>740667874Thora needs to return at some point. I feel like the devs had some ideas for her.
>>740663780I love how Barrier interacts with the sea, it's kino as fuck.>>740664198I'm in the Chapter 2 and so far doesn't seem like there is an expansion on the Colony's politics, but quests and locations are expanded. You visit the mine next to the start of the game, goblin cave where the almanach is is bigger and you get some minor tweaks to existing quests plus additional quests here and there. For now I am satisfied.
>>740668016>Swiney in the mine thereThere's a mine in new camp?
>>740663780The beach in the remake makes me want to see the pirate base from NotR in the new graphics.
>>740668070Boy, you better find it now, because you will have to go there eventually.You have to take the mountain path to the right of the tavern all the way up.
>>740668070Yes. But you need to run a bit up to get there and kill a few scavengers. When in new camp close to the tavern on the water, continue going left and up
>>740668180*left
>>740668180> path to the right of the tavernnot at home right now but I vaguely remember there's a merc training ground and some path leading into the hills splitting in 2 pathsI took the right side path already and there was some cave that took me outside and in front of the new camp gate after a while

HiI am new here
>decide to join the new camp, fuck the rest>take the swamp weed harvest I'm supposed to give to Kalom>Balor told me to sell it to Cipher in the tavern of the new camp>Cipher hands me 600 ore for the weedAnd they say crime doesn't pay, goddamn
>>740668492What's up freshie
So apparently you can’t make two-handed weapons if you learn blacksmithing. You need to learn two-handed blacksmithing. Who the hell comes up with that? As if the process is so different that I need to learn more.
>>740668618who calls the shots around here?
>>740668680makes sense
>>740668373You'll reach the actual Mine if you keep to the right after the cave. It was also confusing in the original, but has gotten worse with the remake.
>>740668698Talk to Mud in the Old Camp, he's in charge here.
>>740667423I have no idea how the user experience is for the software I write professionally or what even compels them to use it.If you think about it, it's a miracle we got what we got. Your customers schooling you on game design and having some original guys come back is like another lightning in the bottle
How painful is playing a mage in the remake? Is it still "you better learn onehander until like act 3"?
>>740668594>sell that weed>sell the pack you get from a Baal near Cipher>sell the weed given to you by the Baal deeper in the New CampNo more financial troubles
>>740668895Same as always, nothing but pain until you are suddenly OP
>>740668594> swamp weed harvest I'm supposed to give to KalomWhat's that quest?Is that the Swamp dude who's drunk that's selling weed? I tried to get him more drunk so he'd let me sell his stash but he didn't budge
>>740668745The road to the mine is quite long. I thought I was going the wrong way for quite a while
>>740668895yesyou can get by with one-handed II, strength 40 and strength jewelery
>>740668895i don't think i ever went full only mage in any of these games, it's just not fun to only cast spells. Battle mage is kino. Plus you get enough talent points to learn both magic and melee
>>740668895Kinda, fire arrow is fine until the orc cemetery. You better have 3rd circle magic and mana reggen sorted out by then, though.
>>740668995No, it's a quest you get in the swamp camp
you know why this remake is trash? they removed eating lots of shrooms/apples/berries (was it like 40?) that gave you like +1 str/dex etc grim grim grim
>>740668995>What's that quest?One of the baals sends you to check on 2 groups of harvester guys and bring their harvest.One hands it over without a fuss.Other guy say's he's not stupid to had over the weed to some rando and asks you to kill all bloodflies in the vicinity as proof of devotion.>Is that the Swamp dude who's drunk that's selling weed? No, that's different quest.>I tried to get him more drunk so he'd let me sell his stash but he didn't budgeGo talk to his tribe mate in the hollowed out mountain nearby and things will move along.
Anyone figured out that economic shit yet? Like I know the the old camp likes weapons but what about the other 2?
>>740669243That was only introduced in Night of the Raven
>>740669243It has modern video game balancing! Until it doesn't and becomes as exploitable as the original.
>>740669335dude weed lmao guy in swamp camp buys/sells plantsmages buy/sell artifacts and potionsnew camp tavern for food
>underwater lockpickingconsider me flitered
It boggles my mind how people are able to play the remake. In a vacuum it might be decent, but the looks and vibe are just so wrong compared to the OG. Like a life action adaptation of anime.
>>740669335>old camp likes weaponsIt kind of varies from merchant to merchant.I had shitload of spiky maces from black goblins and magic dealers only offered me roughly 30-35 ore for each and the price dropped like stone with each mace sold to same person.Guys dealing with gear on the other hand gave me 50+ ore and the price drop was much slower than with magic stuff dealers.
>>740669624I'm too lazy to learn it, had to download a mod that suggests the next move.Still without learning underwater breathing you wont get it in time, kek
>>740669478Fisk in the old camp actually prefers blunt weapons, while the smith in the swamp camp prefers swords.Alwasy sell Black Goblin weapons to Fisk.
>>740669624Homer at the new camp teaches swimming for 5 lp which grants you about three times more breath duration
I just took about 100 swings to kill the troll after his army of black goblins and he had no loot or anything good in the area.
>>740669714I like it though. I think the remake is really good.
>>740669714Gothic 3 was far worse in style transitionEvery NPC looked the fucking same
>>740669624One of the reasons I learned the expert diving from dam builder guy in new camp.There's shitload of loot on sea and lake bottom, also some hidden caves.Not having to go for air every 30 seconds is great.
I wasted LP to get lockpicking to level 3 and some of the doors still seem impossible. I put it the lock on a solver website and the minimum moves to solve is fucking 20 steps. Are you serious? No chest has stuff that's good enough for this.
>>740668985>nothing but pain until you are suddenly OPHow is magic OP? I can't increase its damage its all bse, and it takes forever to charge a level 1 attack on all these runes that have like 4 levels to them. In that time I could have meleed like 20 times.Not to mention if you get hit once, which you will since all the enemies in this game just bum rush you, your cast is cancelled.
>>740669714I disagree, I think they struck a good balance between old and their own spin. There are plenty of details I miss but nothing new that really struck me as alien to Gothic.
>>740669741but then you sell one or two and they have no money left and I still have 20 maces to sell
>>740669714I know it's just a UE5 Remake, but I just can't put it down. The old hooks are still there.Fatekeeper has no content, Alkahest JUST got a gameplay trailer, and Dawnwalker is still a couple of months away. Might as well just play the remake.
>>740670132This. It doesnt feel like they changed that much. And most of the changes are good, which is a surprise to me
>>740666196it always felt weird seeing this loading screen pop up cause gomez on it looked EXACTLY like my dad used to look when i was a kid
>>740670237the exploration aspect in this is absolutely top notch.>learn to climb walls>get to top of cliff, hear some kind of snuffling sound>explore a bit more to figure out where that noise is coming from>run across a fucking fire breathing lizard, see he's guarding a cave>go up him on the cliff, bait him with arrows>drop down, loot chests, and run away before he returns>keep going, see a ruined village and some kind of weird ball of lightning just hanging out>FINALLY find the zombie that was making all that ruckus>try to fight him, get one shotted.this is great.
>>740669885It's over 3 times actually, it goes 40 to 150It also lets your swim faster with the sprint key, it's useful as fuck
>>740670185There's no weight limit so I don't mind that much.Also sometimes it's nice to have a stock when you meet a merchant with hundreds of pieces of ore like Cypher in new camp or smelter guy in old camp mine.
>>740670132One immersive detail that I miss is the animals eating you after killing you. Would be a nice insult to injury for all the freshies
>>740666196She's not in the game and was never supposed to.Basically the guy that came up with promo material just really loved half naked chicks with big tits, so he drew the paladina like that
Found out on gamepad if you hold select/back it brings up the map if you bought one!
>>740669438what real? my memory is a lie
>>740666113Its like a compass you autist. The bloody line gibs you direction to something. Did not found the pic related but found another one close to the focusstone you get with nyras. It showed direction to a cave entrance located at some cliffs. Would have been difficult to find without it.
>>740670559>try to fight him, get one shotted.if you have STR leveled try macesgreat knockdowns and stuns, just don't get too greedyzombies guard a chest with circle 2 lightning ball rune and there's a nice bow near the other exit of their 'room'
>>740671012sir??
if you put stuff in the chest in your hut in old camp, is it secure?i keep finding these 'junk' statues, i imagine they're for something, so i want to make sure i don't sell 'em.
>>740670571I'll have to go back and grab that, I hate swimming it is so god damn SLOW
>>740670897yeah, eating apples and dark mushrooms gives a permanent stat bonus after eating a bunch but this feature is only in notr and not in gothic 1 or vanilla 2.
>finally get inside the castle>talk to that Milten guy about the letter>hand it over>he tells me to get my reward from Torrez>right while I'm talking with Milten Torrez walks into the firemage building knowing full well I can't follow him in>been sitting in the little garden for like 10 minutes waiting for him to come back outFUCKING FIREDIGGERS SCAMMED ME FUCKI HOPE THEY ALL DIE
>light all the torches on the road>come back and they're all unlitIMMERSION RUINED
>>740667289that's what weed does to man
>>740668016nah he gives it not matter what you say
>>740671063ahh, hehe i'm only level 7 or so. i like exploring areas i have no business being in.
>>740669243don't know about apples and shrooms but I have 4 of each +1 str and +1 dex potions I found in various chestsalso couple of +2 max mana potions I already used
>>740671558i believe the rain/wind puts them out.
>>740671479Just go in bro, what are those poofer mages gonna do huh?
FUCK i bought the 007 gme for 70 bucks instead of gothic for fiddy
>>740672126literally melt you.>t. mage hall trespasser.
>>740671939same here, the shipwreck area is a treasure trove of loot but I can't use 90% of it because I lack stats
>>740671189new camp hut is more secure
>>740672471>more secureI mean it is, or it isn't.if i put stuff in there will diggers come through and steal ? =P
>>740672628I don't wanna spoil you my diggabut I believe all chests are secure, there is no respawning as far as I know
>>740669313Ah i've got that quest, I haven't started it yet.So what, do I just scam one of them or something and sell it to someone else? Will it fuck up the quest for me with the swamp folk?
>>740672368That's great. All I found in some random tower ruin is a necromancer that summons 20 skeletons..
>>740672872There is ok sword (i think 40 damage) in that cave if you dive there
um hello yes kino department?we have another incidentthe screenshot is shit because screenshotting HDR doesn't work for some reason
>>740672867If you want to join swamp camp you need approval of 4 baals.There's 5 of them total so if you scam one you should still be able to join the weed dudes.
>>740673131Old maps are also on the noticeboard in the tavern in New Camp. Alkimia did well by paying respect to the fans of the original.
>>740673131OG map noice
>Cor Kalom sends me to deliver weed to the old camp>Get 500 ore from them>Never hand in the quest because Cor Kalom is a fucking faggot anywayFree money.
>>740672867if you sell it you won't get sleep spell I believe you need for another baal
>>740673537those bald faggots are way too trusting and too easy to scam
>>740673537>even if you hand it in, it gets marked as failed at the end of chapter 2 anyway, lmao
>>740672867>>740673357If you do that, remember to ask Baal Kagan in New Camp to help you with joining the Brotherhood after you do his quest with selling weed, Baal Tyon is only going to support you if you bring him the special joint you can get as a reward from that quest.
If you want more Gothic and don't mind playing G2, two mods to check out:- Archolos - full standalone overhaul mod, the whole map, quests, etc. are new. Better than G2NOTR. Polish VA only.- New Balance - expands Gothic 2 greatly, about 3 times the conent of the base game with expansion. Mixed original/russian VA.
>gold bar>sells for 16 nugsOh come on
>>740670662that still happens sometimes, i've definitely had a shadowbeast eat my ass after it two shot me in some random cave
>>740665194You cant but you can ride charriot oulled by dinos
I hope I'm not sequence breaking stuffand uhhh how do I turn human again?>>740675241and what will you do with gold in prison?
>>740675241>start the game with some coins>they're literally worth nothingI BET YOU STILL HAVE TEHM IN YOU INVENTORY. CONFESS!
>>740675702hold lpmthe bottom right is the controls guide
>>740675856that's the thing, it doesn't do anything
>>740675856lmb*sorry, my polish came out cause gothic lmao>>740675963it should, is there enough space around you? i couldn't transform back from the bug form sometimes if i was next to an obstacle
>>740675963nvm, I guess I needed flat enough ground or something
>>740675220I might be too old but I find that gothic formula works for about 40 hours.Archolos was a slog towards the end, it insisted upon itself too much. I tried Xeres Ruckkehr which was fun in a fanfic way, but again, the game clock hits 50 hours and it's too much.
>>740675702>and what will you do with gold in prison?well, it could be sold to the outside world just like ore.
>Be me>Level 3>Enter New Camp>Welcome to the rice fields motherfucker>Dickhead named Lefty wants me to bring the farmers water>I stand on business and tell him nah I ain’t doing that shit >Lefty beats me up and takes my ore>Fast forward to level 7>Passing through New Camp>See that motherfucker Lefty again>Beat the shit out of him and take my nuggets back >Tell Lefty the farmers are looking thirsty>He actually follows my ordersYeah I’m thinking blast status achieved
>>740676304yeah let me just walk through the barrier
>>740673537I hope you also sold the 100 weed for 600 ore to Cipher.
>>740672368Wheres that?
>>740675702alright I think I know what that is secret tunnel to old camp you need meatbug transformation though, otherwise there is just max mana potion and magic resist ring
>>740676473well not you dingus, Gomez just puts it on the elevator in the exchange zone, just like the ore that they also put on the elevator to sell.i.e. it would still have some value.
>>740677592value to gomez at most and ore is worth more than gold in universe
>y-you gotta go get some troll fur from its cave so we can shrink it to kill it!Nah, I'm gonna climb and firebolt it to death over the course of 10 minutes. Also trolls are susposed to be weak to fire, this is taking forever.
awful performance
awful voice acting
>>740678174>>740678220Who raped you
>>740678330piranha bytes
Can you learn to craft arrows or bows? Or can I just sell the wood I find?
I just casually stroll into old camp castle in chapter 2 during the night and shank all the named NPCs for stupidly strong weapons because I joined the new camp and figured it wouldn't hurt anything to relieve them of their loot.
German VA is absolutely horrible even with the original castWhat the fuck
>>740672872>necromancer that summons 20 skeletons..Still pissed about that one.Found him, tried to thin the skelie horde but he keeps summoning them again and again.After a while you don't even get xp for them, only rusted swords you can sell for 2 ores.So I decided to go for the Skeleton Mage but since he was always in the middle of skeleton group I had to kite them around the caves, run back to him so I can whack him once or twice while he's alone and run away because the skeleton group chasing me catched up.>*30 minutes later*After I killed the mage, skellies didn't drop down so I had to clean them up one last time.To add insult to injury, green force fields blocking me from reaching some loot in side rooms stayed up after his death.Only thing I got from him was some book and vague hint about a bigger quest.
>>740678509wood is needed for weapons i think anyway
>>740679190>original castthe original cast is polish bro
>>740677179near the swamp campif you reach the temple in swam camp looking straight at it's front gate, go along the right wall and continue to the beachthere's a guy there that can teach you climbing - very usefulif you look at the sea from the beach you can see one shipwreck on far left side, just swim there and loot everythingthere are chests, red corals and neon blue 'weeds' with mana regen, loads of stuff
>>740679689I've fought 2 skel mages and they are by far the hardest fights in the game, especially the one underneath one of the towers since his room is filled with like 10 skeletons as well. Reloaded and tried for like an hour to keep luring them into the caverns to kill.
>>740679190Has "Volles Pfund aufs Maul" at least made the cut?
>>740677935>troll furthere are 5 pieces lying down on the ground nearby where he stands when you get therelure him away and loot them
>>740663584Maybe a dumb question but I missed this game on original release. Would i enjoy this as someone that's usually into old school crpgs like bg1/2 and games like morrowind? Seems like it's in that same vein but kinda hard to tell if id like it without any nostalgia attached
>>740663584There weren't mountains in that direction but the swamp, did they change the geography a lot ?
>>740678379#metoobut I am enjoying it
>>740677408>you need meatbug transformation thoughsome anon in last thread used bloodfly transformation to get to unclimbable platformare there other uses?like molerat digging under some wall or metal grates?
>>740681184I would think so, yes. Keep in mind first few hours will be a slog since your character sucks at everything
>>740682004I don't think so, if there is it must be new
>>740681184Eh, it's not really like those games. You can do whatever you want right from the start, but you likely get your shit kicked in for the first couple of hours. That's by design, though. Gothic is all about being a cunt and using your elbows to work yourself up. Remember: It's a prison colony after all. Lie, cheat, steal, beat people up and you get to experience a really rewarding progression curve. Once you start pushing shit in you'll be hooked.
>>740678509don't know about bows and arrows but blacksmithing uses wood for weapon handles if you decide to learn that
>>740681210Yes, for example each of xardas golems has little themed zone, you can explore that mine you see at the start of the game, and they added entire snowy mountains
I've played first gothic ages ago so "it's like in the first game" won't exactly be an answer.1) Hows the difficulty?2) Hows character build variety?
>>740678509I have a feeling you will be able to in the sequel
>>740676349classic
it's so fucking kino eurojankI miss when games were like this, the main thing I love about this game is the power fantasy of being a nobody and getting stronger and its fucking PEAKmeanwhile Bethesda with their Toddslop haven't been able to replicate this feeling since Morrowindthere's so much I like about this game and I've been waiting for this remake so modern gamers can experience one of the best cRPGs ever made, unironically
>>740683154Combat has been changed to be somewhat like modern roll slop. You can dodge and parry. You theoretically can get further than in the original with skill, but there are still those hard caps to damage. Once an enemy is outside your level range you will do 0 damage, no matter how skilled you are at circle strafing.Build variety is WYSIWYG. There are no character classes. You want to be a 2handed mace wielding caster? Sure, go ahead. The only limiting factor is the amount of learning points you can get to spend on skills, and how much dex or str you need for certain gear.
>Steel mace: 28 str ->36 damage>Stone crusher: 29 str ->37 damageWhy would they add this? One of them is useles.>>740675779I'll be rich once I get out.
>>740680463Ahh. I was almost there then. Got the climbing skill but I didnt explore further Thanks anon
>be new camp bandit>scammed Kalom out of his weed once already>go check back with the guy that set up the scam in the first place in chapter 2>asks for 50 nugs for his weed>no option to pay him despite me having over 200 nugsAw shitI'm starting to think I really should just wait for the patch to drop whenever
>>740684658>Why would they add this?Why not?I found the steel mace first and used it for a long time before I got stone crusher blueprints and got an ''upgrade''.
>>740684023Bethslop games have level scaling. And level scaling fucking sucks ass no matter the game>hurr durr always a challengeNo, just mobs with bloated hp
where the fug I can get petrified wood (or whatever it's called in english)I need it for a sword that will be direct upgrade of what I have
Just randomly talked to Drax and he said he wants to go to Myrtana and hunt boars. Funny easter egg.
>>740668180>>740668230>>740668745>>740669034Finally got home and found the free mine.Thanks anons.
>>740686754I don't get ithe was in 3 or something?
>>740685731well, not that Gothic had perfect combat, shit most players dont even know about different swinging attacks to this daybut yes having trainers and the LP system is kind of neat and unlocking new animations and sword styles is something that rewards the player in an incredible way
>>740686848They were by far the strongest enemy in the game in the release version and would basically rape you via stunlock. And they were shitty starter zone enemies.
>>740687090well so were wolves really
>>740684023There just aren't too many high profile zero to hero games. So many fucking RPGs start with you being a chosen one with super chosen's godpower.Oblivion: Marked for greatness by emperor himselfSkyrim: Chosen one status achieved by visiting the first cityBG3: eldritch parasite host with a company of special snowflakes (one being a god candidate)Witcher 3: epic witcher of legend who has seen and done it allOwlcat games immediately put you into a role of importance.Games like Gothic make you part of the world and not the center of it, not until you earn it.
>>740683154As for difficulty, it will likely drive you up the wall in the beginning, when you try to explore the nearest woods and 10 wolves start chasing you, each of which can leap and one-shot you. If you stick with it and spend some LP on combat skills / join a camp and get some armor, you start snowballing pretty quickly. It only has the occasional difficulty spike after that, when fighting a certain queen or going somewhere you're not supposed to go, yet.
>>740686931I dont remember seeing that system in other rpgs. I mean your animations and shit changing when you improve your skill. Feels great for progression
>chapter 1>all sleep notification are about how good my sleep was>chapter 2>suddenly get dreams and don't sleep so goodhuh..
>>740687201Gothic starts with you being a chosen one with super chosen's godpower.
>>740687201>skyrim: kill dragon at level 3>gothic: get mauled to death by a giant chicken a level 3God I wish there were more gothics, I'm tired of all powerfantasy slop and levelscaling bullshit
>>740687440Can't wait for seekers to start cursing people in G2R and all the pain it will cause
>>740687201from gothic 2 you are chosen
>>740687440KINOI don't remember this thing in original
>>740687840As I said, it takes a while to earn it. The MC is obviously special but the game doesn't embrace it right off the bat
>>740687440So who was the dark figure?
>>740688202you still have to pick turnips on the farm and get a job to go into town though
>>740672368i am softlocked on my fire mage so i am setting up a route for a new playthrough, thanks to whoever mentioned the chapter 3 bow you can get in chapter 1. you need wall climbing and a telekinesis scroll
>>740687201there's just a few of modern games like thisKDC, you are the bastard son of a noble, but it's not like you're different from any other: cant read, cant fight, cant do shitKenshi and Mount&Blade, but we're leaving cRPG territoryOutward feels like a spiritual successor, but its way more janky
>>740688202Would be weird if you weren't given your feat from the previous game. Still, they manage to put you in an underdog position by being weakened, having to hide your convict backstory and bandits being after you
>>740687863>Elex: Gothic, but in a fallout type post-apocalyptic setting (1 is great, 2 is mehhhhh)>Risen: Gothic, but piratesPlaying Gothic remake, despite not being made by PB absolutely evokes the same sort of sense of progression and 'style' as Elex and Risen.(Elex gets a bad rap, but honestly, it's one of my all time favorite games, the world is incredibly well done, the plot is interesting (with some questionable writing, but that's par for the course)
>>740688706this is the boat with the fire lizards, that shore is amazing for loot
>>740688706you're welcomethere's also a small goblin camp in the general vicinity with a juvenile troll inside a cave in the troll cave there's a chest with key to one of the ships on fire lizard beach, not far from the one with the bowthere's armor amulet in the captain's cabin with +15 blunt and +15 edge damage reduction
>>740688919I've never really got far in elex, that fucking stamina bar is filtering me
post your stat sheet and regrets>2h is useless due to attack speed>forced to invest in lockpicking to progress>smithing is useless>magic is so far useless
>>740689142it's been a while, but you can trade in large shards of elex for stat boosts if I recall correctly.It's the same concept as Gothic though, you start out weak as a kitten, but by the end you're shredding everything in your path. Risen as well. (Also Risen 3 is like /pol/ the game, haha.)
>>740689150>>smithing is uselessIs it really? Because I JUST unlocked it so I'm still in time to reload before it before I advance so much I can't be arsed anymore.
>no stamina bar>endless sprint>no inventory/weight limit>no weapon/armor durability>instantly better than most games released in the last decade
>>740689538you can earn some cash and craft much better weapons early than those sold by merchants if you find blueprints, but if you explore you can find awesome weapons for free
>>740689754I actually want durability with repairing and hunger meter for extra immersion
>>740688919I think the worst thing you can do in Elex 1 is join the Berserkers. I went straight for the Raiders and became a heavy weapons guy. One of the best things to experience in any PB game, period.
>>740689538I like it, I mostly been smithing all my weapons because I find a bunch of materials exploring and stealing. Haven't bought a single weapon so far
>>740689150>87 strengthThat’s a lot are you one shotting everything with that much?
>>740689881This ain't it, chief
>>740689538Yes. At best you'll find some schematics that are better than what vendors offer for about 1-2 story beats. Even then the differences are marginal and you still kill animal X in 3 hits
>>740689754>Still manages to be a fantastic game in making you feel like a survivor scraping together resources to thrive without resorting to any of those ABOMINABLE mechanics that every dev and their mother always adds into rpgs.IT'S THAT EASYIT'S THAT FUCKING EASY, GAME INDUSTRY
>>740688919>1 is greatwrong, it's terrible
>>740689150how do you train orcish weapons?
>>740689150>>magic is so far uselessbut with fire rune, +15 max mana ring or two and a bunch of mana regen herbs you can literally kill an army of beasts just by spamming fireballsmanaged to kill ice shadowbeast while still in chapter 1 with no mana upgrades only the rings I mentioned
>>740689960bows might as well be heavy weapons =Pit's been like 8 years, now i want to replay it.
>>740690109Because those fuckers think that having to fix your weapon every 10 minutes or eat every 10 minutes is "immersion" while not realizing that worldbuilding, characters and the world itself are more important than tedious shit you need to do.Weapon durability can eat my ass for all I care
>>740689150>2h too slowAww, man. I haven't learned it yet, but I was hoping it would be not as bad as just wielding early orc weapons.Might as well use the 30 LP to go deeper into magic circles..
>>740690129elaborate.
>>740689972With max strength you kill orcs in 2 hits
>>740689972Only pleb mobs. Id be over 100 if I wasn't stacking jewelery for protection instead. Theres no difference between 87 and 104 str functionally if you kill something in same amount of hits>>740690167You have to make orcish grunts at screen its an Easter egg. Don't worry about its story related
>>740689538I reget wasting 10 points on it because it's pretty much useless without getting more recipes and you'll have to learn another level of it anyway. Don't do it unless you want to go all in with it.
>>740690528the "progression" is fucking shit (start out extremely weak, can't get stronger because attributes don;t actually do anything, join clerics, get the black hole spell which completely trivializes the whole game because it's so fucking OP).massive map that is mostly devoid of anything interesting.the jetpack fucking sucks.quest markers.basically, everything that makes gothic so good is not present in elex.
>caine's house becomes player house in chapter 2at least that
>>740690828>>740690978Good to know because I don’t want to break the game that’d probably make me quit or restart
>>740690196I am not facing wolves and scavengers anymore.>>7406905182h level II is the worst one. Either go all in for the cool factor like I did or dont. Its 70lp all together. And dont waste LP on mana. You can supplement it with jewelry and permanent effect pots
>>740691490You can use the middle hut on the other side of the big tree where Lester and Namib hang out
>>740691321ehh, matter of opinion I guess? I didn't mind the quest markers, not sure what's wrong with the jet pack; it's not like 2 where it's upgradeable to permanent flight.>clericsno idea, i went 'zerkers and bow. (Which stats definitely improved the damage output)But hey, you played the game and didn't like it, I can respect that. Cheers.
Saw a guy complaining about crashes every couple hours on consoleIs pc any better?Is it well optimized?
>>740691974oh yeah thanks
Can you actually do hybrid builds like STR + DEX or is the balance like NotR and you get raped without strict minmaxing and specializing?
>>740692149original was easier, here no idea
>>740692050I get crashes trying to launch the game sometimes
>>740692025>ehh, matter of opinion I guess?not really, everything I stated are objective facts. the game is shit (which means you are retarded since you enjoyed a shit game (that's an objective fact too))>i went 'zerkersliterally the worst choice
>>740692050Performance is ho-hum, but I had no crashes, yet.
>>740692149If my read on LP economy is right. You can at most do a hybrid of two. So dex str works but you cant do magic
If you don't learn blacksmithing, can you give blueprints you find to Huno so he crafts the weapons fore you?
>>740692401Oh go eat a dick.
>>740692401>(which means you are retarded since you enjoyed a shit gameWhat does that make you if you waste your precious time insulting a game you never played?
>>740664027Lol. Just pirate it if you don't like it
>>740692050That was probably me.Game crashed several times during my 10 hours long saturday gaming session but got patched on sunday and so far it's ok.There's bunch of other bugs like music stopping but at least the crashing stopped.
>>740692149I've been doing it and I get raped sometimes cause me STR is too low but I'm not a great player to begin with.
>>740664046It's going to take them 10 years to remake Gothic 2 NotR. That game is much bigger.
>>740692586>no argumentyeah, that's what I thought. you literally can't argue against facts and logic.elex is one of the worst games I've ever played and I'm really baffled how someone that likes gothic can possibly enjoy elex.>>740692793
german voice over is so bad compared to the original. I'll wait for the mod.
>>740689754It was one of the first to do it, and others in the industry copied it. Then, in an attempt to ride the "brutal and uncompromising RPG" wave, other developers gradually began to include accessory mechanics that seemed like chores, mistaking them for gameplay.This remake is much more culturally relevant than, say, the joke that was the Oblivion rerelease last year, because it allows new players and, perhaps, future developers, to go back and see and discover what worked when the industry still had a clear and uninfluenced vision>mfw 10 year old me saw this pic in a gaming magazine and discovering women
you know what hothic 1 needs? pirates.like their shit got wrecked by storm and pushed through the barrier or something
>>740664046>my journeysounds more like this was the first game he worked on and it's the beginning of his dev careerbut if the game does well I don't see why they wouldn't. the brand is still alive and there is demand. It's not TES tier but it's enough to fill a niche in the ecosytem successfully.
>>740693261Apart from the hero it's not bad but very generic and soulless. Nobody really tries to give a performance. I blame the director.
>>740693336Don't you have a game to make, Bjorn?
When I ride my scav mount I don't get attacked by wolves other scavs or snappers even if I ride through the middle of the pack.Is this intended behavior or am I just too fast and furious for them to chase me?
>gothic remake is actually fucking good>game sold really well and they’re talking about remaking gothic 2 >a gothic 3 remaster is coming out in November that will make the game actually playable What a time to be alive. I just finished chapter 2, I took a long hiatus to go around and kill everything so my character is super leveled up now, I debated killing everyone in the old mine but ehhh I got enough exp for now. Once I clear out the orc cemetery it’s off to become a warder and get that sweet 2h training. After that I turn into a bored god. I will say the game is “harder” than the original in the sense you can’t quite break it over your knee like the original, and it has a lot of little changes that keep you from cheesing. Shadowbeasts for example can’t just be stunned to death, you actually gotta fight them legit and they will kill you insanely quickly. Orcs are still bitches though, I rape orcs, this mora don’t fuck around.
How early can I get to ride a scavenger?Also if I leave corpses behind, will their shit disappear or wield no better trophies if I get the skill afterwards?Also also, do they do this thing where it's hard to level up certain attributes near the end so you have to hoard permanent stat boost potions instead of using them early on?
>>740665987>I only got to play an hour yesterday and then my friends wanted to play games after their kids were asleepit's over..... I am still in Chapter 1...
>>740694105>a gothic 3 remaster is coming out in November that will make the game actually playablewhat
>>740694267VERY early, learn teeth and claw and skinning first though
>>740694105>a gothic 3 remaster is coming out in November that will make the game actually playableWhat
>>740689150>2h is useless due to attack speedWhat are you on about? 2H is great and fast
>>740694712Its slower than 1h
>>740694474Damn. As early as climbing? I got that skill fairly early. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe mud was going to teach me and I just punched him instead and I don't get to ride anything anymore other than cock.
>>740694267>How early can I get to ride a scavenger?pretty soonyou need 5 purple 'flowers' that grow underwater for animal tamer before he deals with you fartherthen he asks you for 3 wolf hides and 2 leather strapsonce you deliver he'll tell you to come tomorrow and you're donehe lives pretty close to old camp if you know where the hunter guy lives who teaches bow techniques and takes bestiary books, tamer guy is just a few hundred meters farther>Also if I leave corpses behind, will their shit disappear or wield no better trophies if I get the skill afterwards?no idea about better trophies but you can loot corpses left alone for some time, not just freshly deadbut when you find a rotting body with pool of black goo under it you can't loot them anymore.
>>740694376>>740694649A console part that's going to come with a community patch pre-installed.Nothingburger.
>kill this guy>get a two hander that requires 70 STR to use>find out he can train you to get bug jaws>reload since I can't use this sword any time soon anyways >>740694931just go to the guy's hut near the bridge leading to New Camp with the two blackmailers, and don't give up. Be annoying and he gives in and has you get some stuff for him. You need wolf parts 100%
>>740692149I kept getting crashes on my PC almost every time I tried to load a game. I get that Core i9 and RTX 4090 may not be the top of the class anymore, but come the fuck on.And then suddenly, the crashing stopped and now the game works without issue. I'll just blame it on the eurojank sorcery and move on.
these stuttering are a fucking pain in the ass howeverUE5 fucking sucks man
>check out cave hoping for pirate adventure>end up in lich rape caveI forgot about that
>>740695201Meant for >>740692050
>>740695184>>740695157Alright I guess I'll learn to skin some wolves now that I can confidently kill them
>>740695345I really dislike skeletal mage design. Orginal with its little spin idle animation is perfect
>>740695345Oh. I remember that cave. I had a pretty cool "my skellies vs his skellies" battle there. Too bad I couldn't tell which skellies were mine, to there was A LOT of friendly fire involved.
>>740695662Honestly I always found it goofy is anything
>>740695169No, it does has the community patch (for better or worse) but it also has gameplay changes and they apparently optimized it so it doesn’t run like ass anymore. I love gothic 3 but it’s undeniable it’s a really rough product.
>>740694105Gothic 3 needs to be remade from the ground up, not remastered
Kinda wish this game had a Breath of the Wild Glider. To bad upgrading earlier equipment is just a Ore scam and not require Animal skin/ressources.
>>740695816>Gothic 3 needs to be remade from the ground upOn UE6. kek
>>740695901>gothic 3 runs like shit >gothic 3 remake also runs like shit we're home gothicbros...
>>740696065>gothic 3 runs like shitTbf this issue was resolved like over 15 years ago but yeah it ran like shit on release.
the fire lizard fire effect looks so goofy. pretty sure the OG had a better fire effect.
They should remake ArcaniA and make it an actual Gothic game.
>>740695816It really just needs to have the combat fixed so it isn’t retarded, the world itself is really nice and the liberation mechanic is great. Everything wrong with gothic 3 essentially boils down to the game struggling to run on basically any computer and all fights devolving into a mosh pit where the hero does the downie shuffle at monsters until they die. This might be a controversial opinion but I don’t think combat in gothic is special and I definitely don’t think it’s the main draw. Combat I think helps reinforce the tone and the situation you’re in, think about how many times you were playing and saw a group and went “fuck, here we go” then mashed f5 and ran in. That’s the gothic feeling right there. Gothic 3 never feels like this because the world doesn’t really have dangerous pockets like the old games and most fights are a joke.
It's nice they let you spare many human enemies this time. As a kid I always hated how the world got emptier and more abandoned by the chapter in the original games due to many NPCs getting killed. Back then I would spend a lot of time just living and running around in chapter 5.
>>740696336Arcania? Never heard of it, sounds made up. It would be cool if the success of the remake actually pushes them to make a gothic 4 though.
>>740696818The story is horrible and all characters might as well not exist. Lee goes from "the king had no choice but to imprison me, he did it to save my life after the courtiers demanded my death" to teleporting into the capital in a middle of a siege and just killing the king in front of the entire royal guard with nobody batting an eye. Lester and Milten do nothing. Gorn is suddenly a freedom fighter invested in the fate of mankind. Angar, who suffered from major depression and existential crisis as well as health issues is now a gladiator. It all stinks.
>>740696259Nah man, the game still runs like shit even today, the biggest improvement from the community patches was just unfucking the load times.
>>740697195See, I think a big problem here is they just wanted to throw in gothic 1 characters because they think they’re really important for some bizarre reason. Like Thorus is back in gothic 3, you know that no-name character you basically forget about as soon as you join one of the camps. And of course you killed him in gothic 1 and you kill him again in gothic 3.
>>740693195no, it's because it's retarded arguing over video game preferences with an autistic cunty, faggot sperg.You didn't like a game, fantastic. You didn't like the jet pack or understand how stats work, okay cool. I wouldn't chalk it up to a personality flaw.
>>7406920500 crashes until i installed the lockpick settings mod, then i get crashes sometimes.
level 14i don't get exp for scavengers snappers and bloodflies anymorebug or enemies too weak?
>>740696818no, all the quests are MMO bullshit and there's practically no story whatsoever, you just do shit for the sake of doing it it's genuinely a horrible game
>>740697508Thorus is like an easter egg character, he shows up guarding gates and that's it. Until that weird Gothic 3 addon that the pajeets made. But the others were characters you could take with you on the ship and you could put some thought into which ones you liked. Only for none of them to show up in 3 or if they show up they didn't act nor look anything like they used to. Remember there's this paladin who forces you to take him with you on the journey? We never see him again. The sheer size of the game just left PB with little time to actually fill it out and put thought behind it, robbing them of their biggest strength.
I really hate these oldfags in oldcamp >_<
>>740697724>or understand how stats workdumb retard, the attributes don't make you stronger, they only restrict what equipment you can use. that's a fact, not a preference.
>>740697239>still runs like shitI mean I don't remember exactly what year was it the last I played it but it was around the same year the 900 series GPU began to roll out. At that point all the major community patches had already come out. It wasn't lagging although framerate was all over the place. The biggest performance issues were some occasional stutters here and there and that's it. Obviously that type of hardware was an overkill for a 2006 game but still, far from running like shit.
>>740697804looks like it was a bug, got fixed after restart
wonder how they will use abandoned mine in 2 remake
How much time do you reckon they will need for 2 and the DLC? 2 was mostly assets from 1 from what I remember and Khorinis was pretty small
>>740667805It has all sorts of new dialog, so that would take a bit of effort with AI correction. It's totally doable though.
>>740663982Most games lose 90% in the first week. 10% retention rate is the average. Gothic Remake keeping more than 40% of its player base is actually incredible, especially when you consider its old school/hardcore design philosophy.
>>740700750If they keep the same team and tech stack it shouldnt take too long. But then again its not the same assets, and majority of game development is scripting and asset creation, not the core mechanics
small dev
>>740700750eh actually I feel like 1 assets weren't even quarter of all in 22 years maybe if they won't feel to ambitious? that's what I'm afraid that they will decide to rework some core mechanic while nobody expects them to do. just do same thing again
>>740700957To be fair it takes a long time to get shit done in gothic, but it is still impressive given how much shit there is early on that would filter some people
>>740664027Looks fine to me. At least they're not in potato sacks with no makeup on, like they were in early builds. It does suck that they wear a bathing suit when they bathe though. That's lame.
lmao
>>740701493>why is every enemy Dark Souls tryhard?>will the sun ever some out again?heh
>>740701493You know what makes me mad about those experiences? It's the fact that a lot of that could be learnt if he watched a few reviews on YouTube. It wouldn't take more than a minute for someone to say and show that Gothic doesn't hold your fucking hand, yet there he is writing that fucking wall.
>>740663675Is there a mod for the women?
>>740701493>13 other retards found a retard being retarded helpfulI would REEEE but these clowns were around even in the 80s
alright what am I supposed to do here in abandoned mine?
>>740701493What modern game design does to a motherfucker.I hope I never become like this.
>>740702356No character mods yet and I am also waiting for some proper shoulder padded mage robes.
>>740701263>looks fine>doesn't look anything like the original outfits in terms of skin exposure and sex appealAre you even trying, shill?
Bros. I leveled up to level two yet I don't have any learning points. Is this normal or the game glitch on me?
>>740702443dive down to the ore mound, you'll find something you need there
>>740702564>Strength 30
>>740702564yeah you spent them on strenght
>>740702356they're supposed to be german women so they look accurate
>>740702718t.hanks I'm fucking retarded
>>740702732>>740702741Strange. I talked to Diego and tried to spend them on strength but the game said I couldn't. Whatever
>>740702525I don't think they need to be dressed like dominatrixes. The original designs are kind of stupid.I hate that they censored the maps guy's sketch more than the new clothes the women are wearing.
When will amerifats stop being mad about nobody caring about their culture war bullshit
>>740702928>I don't think they need to be dressed like dominatrixes.You're confirmed for not playing the game then. They are literally sent there as sex slaves for Gomez.>The original designs are kind of stupid.They aren't. Even if they were, it wouldn't matter, a remake shouldn't change them. If they had changed them to different equally skimpy outfits you'd have a leg to stand on. They were just censored.
>>740703050there are reasons and a time to be mad at this stuff but this is not that. This is literally one retard spamming the thread over and over and over again.Dumbfuck is not even playing the game.
>>740703138sex SLAVES, not doms
>>740701493the worrying thing here would be is if the dev's start nerfing the game to cater to these tards, you know, to boost sales.(AKA THQ Nordic tells them to, since you know, quarterlies are coming up.)
>>740695656you dont need to learn the skinning skills, theyre worthless since you will have too much other loot to sell that you won't have to collect trophies for money. You can buy the 3 wolf skins off vendors for the saddle.
>>740703292Is this the cope you're reduced to?
>>740703274>resetera-tier 'censorship is good actually' rhetoricyou are gay. Why couldn't you just admit the censorship is dumb, especially with the dev on twitter claiming it wasn't censored, but say you're enjoying the game a lot despite that.
Took me nearly 20 fucking hours to learn that you could open the map with the gamepad by holding select
How the FUCK do you kill the immortal zombie with Diego? I activated the trap and shot the giant lightning beam on the zombie in the center of the room almost a dozen times now and he WONT FUCKING DIE. His health isn't even budging.
>>740704897i learned this yesterday too and probably should have looked at controller bindings earlier. Today I also learned you have 2 hotkey palettes on controller and that you can crouch/climb stuff while holding a torch by holding the L2 trigger.
anyone here with a lower spec pchow will that run on a gtx1070?is it even worth trying to pirate if the originals are my favorite games ever, or did they botch it?
>Huno wants me to make him a bunch of shit >hogs the forge all dayFUCK OFF. In Gothic 2 I think if you interacted with something an NPC was working on they'd leave it alone. They need this in the game.
>>740705340I think theres a bug so reload before you fought him. In case the obvious needs to be stated, the beam has to hit the zombie
>>740704843NTA, yeah the censorship is completely dumb. Especially given the context in which it occursThey're basically saying:>yeah the SEX SLAVES are too scantily cladLike, okay, the fact that there are sex slaves to begin with is so far beyond how they're clothed, as to make the wardrobe issue completely silly. It's the typical progressive surface level thinking at play.But that said, i'll take the fact that there isn't a perfectly curated Netflix ratio of female guards and NPC's ordering me, as a freshie around, as a win. It certainly isn't enough of a reason to not play the game though.(I mean seriously, in a situation like this, where the prisoners take over the prison, women would 100%, absolutely be treated like property. Look at how modern US prisons are, even with guards. Brutal, tribalistic hellholes.)
>>740705871I think it was done for pragmatic reasons as a18 rating is administratively painful and affects the bottom line
>>740704843you are retardedchoke and die, dumbfuck
>>740705528my 3060 is giving me around 70 C, so good luck anon.
holy shit that flooded mine where you look for Cain is quite big indeed
>>740701493lol but alsohe's not wrong about night time duration, it feels way longer than daytime and the game is set like, spring/summer?it doesn't look like thos old and dark german winters
>>740706651well you are in valley so maybe mountains cover sun and all
>>740663584God this game was so terribly optimized and the animations are so over the top, every character in a cutscene is moving and acting like they are theater actors in a homo-erotic play.
>>740706901mhmm, never actually thought about that
>>740701493>i am not asking for yellow paint>i am not asking for map markers>while implicitly doing so and complaining about not knowing where to goit really is an IQ problem isn't it?I thought for the longest time it was taste and that gothic was like licorice. But no, it's just an IQ test.
>>740706591how the fuck did he even get that far into it when the first big chamber has a gate that is closed and you need to dive down to find the wheel to attach in order to even open it
>>740705776I had to reload 11 times before the zombie took damage, what the fuck.Welp, now time to warp to the water mages and get one shot by the mercenaries that are perma aggro even though I have the fucking warping stone.They need to patch this shit man.
>>740707081does letting them knock you down not fix it? did you kill someone in broad daylight?
>>740701493Doesn't the game have a difficulty setting for morons like this? I'd love to see a full play through of NotR by one of these people
>>740707220So the part of the quest where you have to meet the head water mage, you gotta talk to the mercs at the entrance. But the bug is if you've ever talked to them before this specific story quest, it bugs out and they become permanently aggroed to you, as well as the water mages. So you cannot enter the water mage area, so everytime you gotta quick save and sprint hoping to find the head water mage and spam talk to him if he doesn't attack you first.Its a literal softlock bug.
>>740707724>>740707220Oh also to add, they don't knock you down and loot you, they go for the execute every time.
>>740706907>in a homo-erotic playnever seen one, guess you're the expert
>>740707724fuck I've talked to themall I can hope is that they will patch it before I get there
>>740707334it doesbut the problems he is complaining about are really just problems of low IQ individualsThere's plenty of visual indicators that something is strong. A scavenger is a herbivore, molerat eats trash. It's obvious it's weak. Something that looks like a mini dinosaur will probably one shot you. Navigating enviroment is also an IQ test.I wish normalniggers would stop paying lip service to classic game design because they think it makes them sound sophisticated. There's nothing wrong with being low IQ and wanting to play games while you fart and masturbate. But game design journos and tools like him have absorbed by osmosis that "quest marker bad" but never consider what it actually entails >>740707724I think there's an NPC equivalent to gravo in new camp that can reset your relationship. I haven't tested it but he asks for ore.He's on the left side of the new camp towards inner ring iirc
>>740701493poor guy got raped hard
>>740708201scavenger is herbivore? with that scary ass beak?
>>740708942it eats corpses rather, it's in the name
>>740708942herbivore diet, supplemented by the occasional freshie, yeah. (ask me how i know)side note: why the FUCK are bloodflies so vicious?
>>740709249use Q attack on them, with either maces or axes it's a vertical attack and with sword they impale themselves on the lungethink nigger
>killed my first fire lizard now it's time for lizard genocide to repay all the roasting
I just joined the old camp, how do I become a fire Mage?
>>740708201>I think there's an NPC equivalent to gravo in new camp that can reset your relationship.Can you be more specific to his name? I've ran around the camp a bunch and talked to everyone with a name, and there is no npc like that.
>>740709412don't be an obnoxious cunt. they do a disproportionate amount of damage compared to other mobs their level.
Fuck it, I'm downloading a Jack Sparrow version to test before the patch. I was waiting for a few optimizations, but Alkimia is slow as fuck.
>>740709783Once you're far enough in the main story you can choose to get promoted to guardsman or join the mages
Isn't this remake the same game with new graphics instead of something like RE4? Why are people about this?
>>740710183Because the old game is good and we are happy to see they didn't adapt it to "modern audiences" to its detriment.
>>740710123If I become guardsman can I still learn from mages?
>>740710183They added more stuff, put some QoL, change a few mechanics. >Why are people about this?wut
>>740710183its not a 1:1 port, there's some changeslike the armor system, and riding scavangers>Why are people about this?what?but Gothic is, unironically, one of those games everyone should play in their livesthe old past version was a pain in the ass to run so it's also a welcome change
>>740710320no idea, but I doubt itbeyond the basic stuff Torrez teaches you anyways
Where do I learn how to craft 2h weapons?
>>740709834they could also be doing point damage instead of edge damage
The new armor system is really nice btw, I love that it gives you some aesthetic choices aside from the stats.
>>740709798I can't remember and I can't find him now. He only asked for ore and seemed to have no other function.
>>740701493>It might be a level 42 squirrel that one shots youSurely must be trolling, ain't no way this nigga is serious
>>740710123After I complete the Cain quest you mean?
>>740711083If its anything like the original you'll have to wait until you got the minecrawler eggs
>>740710596So basically if I want to be a battle mage I must pick mage and hope someone allows me to level up STR afterwards too?
>>740711216At least as a swamp camp bro you gotta go one main quest further than that this time around
>>740689754yep, fuck stamina systems when every quest revolves running around the whole giant mapfuck shitty ass inventory limits, like how is that realistic that a single guy can carry 200kg of shit stuck all up his ass anyway.
Dawn on the coast after a full night of diving
>>740711369Diego teaches you STR, Scatty 1h combat, what you're gonna struggle with is finding a 2h combat trainer
>>740711456Is it dangerous where you are witnessing that landscape?
>>740711216So the same time you could join the water mages as a merc. Alright, I'll save my points then.
I played Gothic 2 about halfway through back in the day, I remember I got as far as when you make it back from the second map for the first timePlayed Risen 1 and ELEX a bit but never completed them. I'm planning to get back to them eventually(TM)Should I play this? I was honestly never gonna play 1 anyway
>>740711369Swamp is best for battle mage from what I can see but both Diego and Lares teach strength, Lee teaches 2h handed after you join him.
>>740711702As a merc you'd have wait until chapter 4, at least in the original game
Does Gomez betray you just like in the original Gothic and can you join the new camp to become a merc or water mage after the betrayal?
>>740711773If you liked G2 and Risen you will also enjoy this one. Only difference is this one might melt your GPU.
heard rumours that there is royal guard armor in mountain fortress
>>740711902yeee
>>740712076its true, lower stats than a merc armor
>>740711524>>740711873Thanks
>>740712113Neat.
does anyone sell sulphur for making spell scrolls?
>>740712541AFAIK no one. You have to explore. Try the swamps
Who outside of Riordian and that one Baal teaches alchemy?
>>740711992In your personal opinion, should I slot in the remake before the others or play them in release order? I already know the very rough outline of the story from G2 recapping it
>>740711568Not if you swim a long way around starting from the Swamp area. Get the diving skill from New Camp before going out there
just killed the minecrawler queen and it feels like the chapter is about to end, anything else I should do before handing in the eggs to the swamp guys?
>>740712809Nice. Thanks.
>>740689754Sekiro was like this too and that was Fromsoftware's best game.
>>740712730Play the remake first and then the others. Playing G2 knowing exactly what happened is a great experience.
Decided against using the ore armor from gomez chest cuz it OP as fuck but still using this royal guard armor I snagged from mountain fortress, way better than my faction gear atm
>>740712719one of the fire mages, Damarok I think
>>740713009I fucked up, shoulda learned from the baal before joining.
Any other games like this where joining a faction is very important to the whole game? I especially liked that joining the inquisition or whatever in Risen was the result of a combat loss
