My niggas edition
Is the red wind still down there? Might be worth learning lockpicking just for that.
>>740998440>prison iluminati welcoming their newest member
https://www.nexusmods.com/gothic1remake/mods/173can't decide if that's cheaty or not since they fucked up visibility
So is it good?Asking the OG players.
>>740998524I think it's fine. Finding herbs is a real drag with all the foliage around.
>>740998551yeah
>>740998440Does the remake have Chromanin? It was my favorite quest in the original.
>>740998480The most powerful person in that pic is Milten and that only because of the other mages.
>>740998551Basically the same game, but +.
>>740998582yes
>>740998551It's fun in the exact way the og was. Biggest gripe is UE looked so generic and some optimization issues.
>>740998551Yes.t. 31y/o boomer
>>740998640>31>boomer
reminder to not sell golem trophies you WILL need them for perma potions also careful spoiler pic what the helly
>>740998551Most of Alkimia's "additions" are frankly pretty retarded. Except for the old fortress, that one is much better than the OG one. But yeah, overall it's good for the most part.
get Mudded lol
women to a digger>I have standards, expect to be treated like a ladywomen when Chad is around>yes master I will entertain you and then suck your cock
>>740998620Cool. I half-expected them to scrap it because the nonsensical scribbles in the books clash hard with later lore, and the quest was a late patch addition in the first place.
>>740998683>Most of Alkimia's "additions" are frankly pretty retarded.Which ones exactly?My only problem is with lockpicking because it takes too long.
>>740998717Makes sense. Nobody wants to hang around diggers.
Can you still get two handed without one handed through Lee Merc training in the remake?
>>740998728I didn't really understand the quest, thought it was just a troll getting you to explore different locations
my head hurts
>>740998748Other than lockpicking>a fire mage in the outer ring teaching a random prisoner magic makes no fucking sense>intro and changed Lee dialogue makes Rhobar into some sort of villain despite the OG implying nothing like that>You get the faction upgrade at chapter 3 now so have to go through the orc cemetery underpowered>mage is completely fucked, robes offer shitty protections and cannot be upgraded, spells do less damage than original>Gomez now has the ore armor which is pretty retarded>Sleeper being summoned to kill humans now even though in the OG it was stated orcs summoned him to deal with another orc tribe because they don't really give a shit about humansThere's more but that's just off the top of my head. But I like it overall. Still kept some of the spirit of the original and the new OST is wonderful.
>>740998440Has anyone else experienced the bug where the blacksmith Stone will go back to jail even though you already completed the quest to rescue him? I rescued him in act 4 and completed the quest chain but he got sent back to jail in act 5 for some reason.
>>740998868>download mod that suggests the next move>never put points into lockpicking>still takes a while but doesn't end up a 15 minute borefest where the reward is 15 ore, a frying pan and a torch
>>740998551yest.30 year old unc navy seal with 600 confirmed kills
Trying to join the firemages had me feel like Corristo really wanted me to fail and just begrudingly accepted the hero because I managed to beat the trial of fire so he had to accept me because of the laws of Innos.Meanwhile Saturas is like "learn alchemy and inscription bro, you're gonna need it. then go to this one shrine, get adanos blessing I'll make you a mage"Its amazing how watermages feel like absolute bros while the firemages are a bunch of lazy dicks with a boss that dismisses you just because he doesn't feel like training a new mage
>>740998940I did that and put 10 lp into it as a 'cost'
do mercs and templars get circles 2-4?
>>740999081Templars do
>>740999081templars domercs can advance to water niggas and get up to 5
>>740998926I'll be honest, last time I played Gothic 1 was like 15+ years ago and most of the things you listed, I didn't even remember so it doesn't bother me.But I get it might bother you though.
>>740999108>>740999094I had to go Gomez because I fucked up the list part and the charm spell partfug
>>740999145don't worry, old camp nigs also get magic even if they don't go mage
>murder the guys guarding entrance to bandit camp>hero tells quentin they let me in anyway>it fucking worked
>>740999174oh, I guess the AI hallucinated and told me Old Camp guys can't go past 1 if not joining the mages
>>740999229Just join the mages lmao
>>740999229>asking AI about things it barely has any data aboutanon, what are you doing
>>740999229absolute dumbass
>>740998972Fits their god. Innos is a god of power, not of good.
>>740998926>intro and changed Lee dialogue makes Rhobar into some sort of villain despite the OG implying nothing like thatoriginal also made rhobar evil just not so in our face, though intro doesn't change much when it comes to him, lee also had hateboner on the court>You get the faction upgrade at chapter 3 now so have to go through the orc cemetery underpoweredyou are overpowered from chapter 2 onwards so no biggie>mage is completely fucked, robes offer shitty protections and cannot be upgraded, spells do less damage than originalin original mage was also fucked in different ways>Gomez now has the ore armor which is pretty retardeddunno I honestly prefer it rather than xardas keeping some ancient hero armor
>>740999270I actually just Googled but the default answer on top is some AI shit and it seems to be wrong about everything 90% of the time
>>740999206>Murder and loot everyone when they're alone or in small groups>survivors too embarrassed to admit they got jumped by a freshie so just get up and talk to you normally without any gear and return to what they were up toEurojank is so charming tbehrlich
>>740998972Lee and the Water mages are the truest of bros, though Saturas tends to have a stick up his ass. Vatras was the really chill one.
>>740998660>newfag>doesn't lurk more
>>740999313It's been the case for months. For some reason they thought it's a good idea to keep it always at the top and you can't even turn it off while you get a wrong answer almost every single time unless you ask about some very basic shit
>>740998926>You get the faction upgrade at chapter 3 now so have to go through the orc cemetery underpoweredI two tapped every orc there with 2h sword from old mine, just stop being bad
>>740999346lee abandons his men in 2 the very moment he can leave the island doe
>>740999393I don't blame him they are retards and thugs
>>740998972Wait, so you are telling me mages lead by that cunt Xardas were assholes?
>>740998868Damn, even the online solver can't solve this shit.
>>740999374If you're playing a mage then you have to play through the cemetery with just the starting rune, meanwhile in the original I was already chucking fireballs by then.>>740999303>original also made rhobar evil just not so in our faceIt was mostly the court that was responsible for Lee ending up in the colony, now apparently Rhobar did it intentionally. He was incompetent, I never thought him as evil.>in original mage was also fucked in different waysBut in the original the high robe of water was one of the best armors in the game. Now it's shittier than merc armor.>dunno I honestly prefer it rather than xardas keeping some ancient hero armorThe mage having the ancient artifact armor made more sense to me than Gomez just finding it somehow despite not actively looking for any sort of magical items
>>740999463>that cunt XardasBoy do I have some bad news for you. Although he is a cunt, all the way through.
>>740999545gomez could get it from king, xardas just has whatever he could stumble upon in colony
>>740998440>another toxic positivity shill threadI still shall not play your ue5 slop
>>74099864031 is a zoomer
>>740999591>toxic positivityoh, the discord is rolling out a new buzzword finally? I was getting really tired of 'slop'Shill needs to go too.
>bloated UEslopPeople are gonna look back on this era in gaming and either laugh or cringe
>>740999713toxic positivity is old already
Any thoughts on new magic? How's the guru magic?
>>740999784yeah, on Facebook. But you unfunny faggots are always like 2-3 months behind on the new ones you steal from there and Tik Tok so it makes sense.
Between melee, archer and mage which is the strongest and stays good until the end?
>>740999850melee is good from beginning to endMagic used to get very overpowered but I am hearing reports that firestorm was nerfed hard
>>740999789>new magicThe starting spell you get is the best one lmao. Fire storm was really good but now it's nerfed. I feel like the majority of spells are underpowered. Didn't get the Uriziel rune yet so I don't know if that's stronger than regular runes(hopefully it is)>guru magicThe 1st circle wind spell is pretty good since you can spam it and it knocks enemies down. Pyrokinesis meanwhile is awful and might be the worst spell in the game. Storm fist isn't bad.
>>740999921>>740999901they buffed endgame creatures a lot so mages are sucking dong. They are taking feedback on it in their dev discord
>>740999921Speaking of, I always hated how Uriziel never made a return. Even worse, the spell became a regular, if still end game rune you could just buy from Xardas in 2. It's a small thing, but it always pissed me off.
the only gothic where magic wasnt shit was vanilla G2
>>741000010firestorm was also nerfed this patch HARD, they said it was bugged
how much easier does lockpicking become with training? it's kinda crazy trying to do it unlearned without a solver
fuck year, doing a 360 no scope into 2 handers now lmao
>>740999901Melle is great, with exception of fighting shadowbeasts
>get the healing rune>smoke weed after every fightswamp life
has anyone managed to use the control spell via scroll? cant get it to work
>>741000082Its so much easier that i didnt regret spending 30 skill points to learn it to the max, but its still sometimes hard
>>740999850full archer build is fully doable, though you still need to use a blunt melee for stone golems
the reason why slavs and germans like this game so much is because it's about being in a forced labouir colony and they are slave races
>>741000189>germans >slave raceStolen valour
>>741000217entire tribes enslaved by huns and routinely captured by the romans, they are as much a cucked punching bags as your average piotr
>>741000189If Slavs were ruled by the Germans then who were Germans ruled by?Don't say Jews.
>>741000267but it is jews
>>741000242Goths have more in common with spaniards than germans We slavs are only proper slave race in europe
>>741000307>goths>more in common with spaniardsI truly believe your'e a slav because only a slav could be this retarded
>>741000361He's larping. the "we slavs" part is a dead giveaway.
>a single shitpost devolves the thread into another /pol/tard schizo argument
hello fellow slavs arent we shit compared to glorious Germans? I think we should serve them
>>741000396Yeah you're right. I reported a bunch of these yesterday and now I'm engaging with him for some reason. My bad.
btw these are the "nordic" people you talk to if someone told me the photo is from Romania I'd believe it
>>741000361Tell me where the visigothic kingdom was anon.
Should I play this now or wait for patches?
>>741000469them ruling over spaniards doesn't make them having anything more in common with them just like rurikids had fuck all to do with slavs matter of fact it's interesting to note how many countries had germanic elites, France is named after germanic Franks who ruled over celtic commoners too. Germanics are the master race
>>741000524The first patch was released just yesterday. Play it now.
>looking for the focus with Lester in the old fortress>locked in melee with a harpye>he runs in>I hit him like twice on accident>he beats me down and robs me blindwhat a nice friend
how to min max early game? Ive just bought some shitty bow, still not armor, have a rusty sword. what to do
>>741000389>the "we slavs" part is a dead giveaway.If you think i have to larp to shitpost a little you are retarded.
Germanic countries invented the most (except norway), are the richest and pretty much every country in Europe had germanic elites ruling over shitskinned meds, ape like slavs and what have you. You literally cannot dispute the fact that Europe was built by germanics.>b-but muh greeksbrownoids who faded into irrelevancy
Where do I learn master 2 handed if I went with Old Camp and currently I'm not let into the castle in Ch4? Thorus refuses to talk to me after I learned the 1st level Do I just need to do a bit more main story quests?
>>741000524>Remake>Still need to wait like a year until it's in optimal state for playI'm so fucking sick of this shit
hell, northern italians are proud of being actual rape babies and in spain they built a viking statue in a place where norsemen raided them. Lesser races feel honored to be raped and by germanics
>>741000647Become mercenary (if its like in orginal)
it's hilarious how almost no slavic country was founded by the slavs except that shithole serbia
>>740998551It's great. The og was already like crack cocaine for me, this here is even worse
>>741000524the game runs fine and I haven't encountered any bugs eitheralmost done with it now
>>741000709Poland, unless you go with "we wuz Sarmatians"
and this is what slavs said to norsemen >Our whole land is great and rich, but there is no order in it. Come to rule and reign over us.ancestors of ukrainians and russians literally asked germanics to rule them LMAO they had no fucking elites on their own
>>741000762>Polandtheir founding dynasty has western european R1b haplogroup, same thing happened with Czechs
>>741000675Ahh. Thanks anon
>>740998868wtf is that supposed to be, a chest with 6 locks?
>>740998440what the fuck, how can you play like this, this image is like 80% black
If your video game lockpicking is about a hundred times harder than actually picking a lock in real life something ain't right with it.
>>741000827Doesn't mean they weren't locals. Genetics != ethnicity.
>>741000929yes it does Piotr, you had no dynasty on your own just like most slavs
>>741000827>R1b haplogroup/pol/ pseudoscience
>>740998640Are you a millennial
slavs, vlachs, balts, finno-ugrics are historically a race of serfs who toil for germanic overlords
it's also noteworthy how in eastern europe cities were composed mostly of ethnic germans
>>741000918Yeah the first time I tried the mechanic in the remake I kept thinking about that meme video >you are using a Masterlock model 176, it can be opened by using a Masterlock model 176>slams both locks together and one opens from the impactGame devs have an inflated view of what locks are capable of
>>741000986all royal families are french doe
what is Diego's phenotype?
First you start by insulting germans and slavs, now you insult slavs and praise germans Andrej stop humiliating yourself
>various vodka golems arguing about which of them is the least genetically twistedlol
IT MUST BE FRIGHTENING TO STAND IN THE SHADOW OF THIS *RACIAL PINNACLE*. BE CALM, HAM SANDWICH. YOU ARE NOT IN DANGER, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A THREAT TO ME.
>>741001070bulgarian
>>741001070Southern Myrthanian mixed with Northern Varantian
I wonder if orcs are racist towards each other. I would be.
>>741000792That's just a fairy tale to justify why the Rus were in power at the time they were in power.In truth, the Rus were just convenient rulers since they had no tribe allegiance, and the slavs living there didn't care about the ethnicity of whoever was the ruler. The slavs outnumbered them massively, so it was obvious the Rus wouldn't overpower them culturally, it would be Rus who would merge into slavs. So why not get them to be the rulers, at least that way they won't have preferential treatment of other tribes.Also, a ton of nobles in Europe were former vikings anyway, so it wasn't even that uncommon, making them rulers.
>>741001070Sleazy uncle who sells you used TVs for a suspiciously good price and somehow always has a "guy" for everything.
>>741001149sure thing Ivan but you're still a serf through and through so incompetent you didn't have your own elites
>>741000918It could've worked for like 5 chests in the entire game as a special minigame as a reward for exploration.It doesn't really work when every single digger has a total value of 3 ore hidden in a high security vault.
>>741001034it's like they've never even googled how locks are supposed to work, wtf did they even intend to simulate here
>>741001146they are racist towards Ur-Shak for liking morra
>>741001149>Also, a ton of nobles in Europe were former vikings anywaylol
I forgot my pickaxe. Is it worth it to go back for it for the abandoned mine? How many nuggets do these veins yield?
this is your viking - slavic brotherhood ivans >"The only occupation of Rus is the trade with sable, squirrel and other furs. They harry the Slavs, using ships to reach them; they carry them off as slaves and sell them. They have no fields but simply live on what they get from the Slav's lands."
some findings with transformation magic and summons>summons or transformation wont auto aggro lads like in the original>being a shadowbeast is really cool>summons are permanent until they die>they wont despawn when you teleport away and will stay in the world and path towards you as soon as you are in range>you can have as many summons as you want, no limit apart from your fps going to shitsummoning do be kinda based
>>741001238One nugget per activation
>>7410012389 per node, 3x per interaction1 per mining interaction once they're exhausted
>>740998971Oh shit it's Anthony Raimondi
>>741001238every interaction gives you +3 nuggies until depleted after that only 1, so like 15 nuggies per vein, you can skip the animation by equipping your pick and attacking the node, while the attack plays spam interact
>>740998551No, jeets are doing their best to sell this crap as second coming of jesus, in fact its just shitty reinterpretation of gothic 1 by complete failures - Reinhard Pollice & his ArcaniA devs. Any additions make no sense, changes in story are unnecessary and new locations are empty (cause 7 years + is not enough to develop a remake).Another wasted opportunity but I guess in 2026 with bangers such as veilguard and avowed this is peak gaming experience.
holy fuck lockpicking is complete bullshitHow hard is it to install mods? Surely there's one that bypasses this garbage
So I learned Advanced Blacksmithing, and I have to say this skill is really useless compared to Basic Blacksmithing.>Recipes for one-handed weapons cost 100+ ore, and two-handed weapons cost 700+.>Every recipe requires a dozen super rare steel pipes and those wood logs that are almost impossible to find.>If you buy all the materials, you end up spending about three times the weapon's selling price.>The two-handers are still weaker than the two-handed sword I stole from a Templar's corpse in the Old Mine.Who the hell came up with this this shit
>>741001198in the OGs the chests look primitive, not made of CNC'd metal, and you could open most of them with a short combination of left and right movements. I have no idea what they were smoking when they made the remake's system. Did they make it stupid on purpose to get people to talk about it? Like some sort of ragebait.
glorious story of the slavsEast Slavs>conquered by avars>conquered by vikings>conquered by mongols>conquered by lithuanians (xD)west slavs>conquered by germans >conquered by danes (xD)south slavs>conquered by ottomansnations conquered by the slavs:>xD
>>741001403apparently there's one that removes it completely but I haven't tried it yet
>>741001238just deal weed
>>741001468>I have no idea what they were smoking when they made the remake's system. Did they make it stupid on purpose to get people to talk about it? Like some sort of ragebait.From the demo onward they did nothing but ragebait disguised as a game.
im glad they improved NPC pathing in last patch
they should've copied risen 2's lockpick minigamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGvnKPh7zAg
>>741001403with lockpicking 3, 99% of locks will be trivially easy
>>741001485Go back to /pol/ nepobaby
>>741001546That's probably it. There's no sane reason they couldn't have gone with a semi-realistic minigame, like the one in Risen 2.
speaking of nations with no elites - the englishmen. They can high five east slavs because since 11th century their elites were flat out replaced completely by the Normans LMAOthat explains why both your average Ivan and your average Nigel are stupid ogres who barely qualify as sentientthere is no civilization east or north of Germany jsut a bunch of nigger tribes
>>741001608>nepobabywhy do you hate neets?
I'm Indian.
>>741001629their language tells you everything you need to know about their history>pig: germanic word>pork: french wordanglos wageslaved and the french ate
what is your sharpening value at?im curious
>>7410017560
>>741001468They did the right thing. 90% of "hardcore gamers" are shitters that want to feel smart by beating the same easy minigames in every game and throw a tantrum when a game dares give them something harder or demand to spend points on utility skills. The same kind who claim that Gothic games are sovlfvl and hardcore then savesum every locked chest in the game. The new system tells shitters to spend their LPs while technically being beatable without LP investment, which is a great balance. It just breaks the shitters' brains because they want the gratification of being the 1337 gamer who can beat everything with ingame rookie skill level.
>>741001559Gothic was already a perfectly serviceable starting point.Make the baseline sequence slightly longer, give dexterity the chance to preserve your pick when you fail, have the (low LP cost) training reduce the length of the sequence (potentially up to instant opening for easy locks).
RAPEI wanna commit ANAL RAPE on Milten
>>740999545>The mage having the ancient artifact armor made more sense no that was retarded>hey so sorry i didn't tell you before but I actually have some kind of super strong legendary armor in my old tower but i ceased to give a fuck about it, go get it if you want
>>740998551Yes. 35 boomer who thinks gothic series is the best thing since sliced bread
>>741001881>I'll just make 5000 more shotguns and leave them lying around
>>741001853Have you ever considered that the Nameless Hero was maybe supposed to be good a picking locks even without training from the best thief in the colony for a reason?
>>740999629Nope, boomer is 30+ nowadays
>>741001935>Breaks his lockpick 90% of the time when he guesses the wrong direction without trainingDoesn't sound like "good at picking locks" to me.
>>741001881Well, you didn't ask.
>>741001559My only issue it that this is a modern lock mechanism, no something you'd find on every random chest or door in a setting that's supposed to imitate technology from a few centuries ago.
>>741001853Difference is that in normal games lockpicking just takes skill, something you can train.This lockpicking even if you invest into it is dependent on your iq. You cant become smarter, so you cant open the locks.
>>741002003Better than the remake skinwalker who pretends to be the Nameless Hero.
>>741001853Too bad the hardest locks aren't affected by mastering the lockpicking skill at all - when its probably these locks that makes people invest into lockpicking in the first placeFucking deranged decision
>guys the firebolt spell is the bestest>like 25 shots to kill an orc>or I just hit them twice with my swordguess I'm not going magic lmao
>>741002060I'm not super smart and can get by just fine with intermediate skill. Can't imagine it not being trivial at max level. Sounds like the average player is just retarded.
>get fall of avalon on sale>you start in prison and is saved by a mystery nigga>clear the dungeon and find king arthur's soul>arthur tags along with you>meet up with mystery nigga who kills you for bringing arthur>but you didn't really die, arthur is confused as wellwhat an adventure
I genuienly love the new lockpicking.
>>741002151Orcs have high fire resistance.
>>741002187You're in the wrong thread friend
>>741002217puzzle fags are genuinely mentally ill tho
>>741002217>t. LBL secondary
>>741002158>Sounds like the average player is just retarded.Sure, thats exactly what i said. And thats why they need to bring back og lockpicking, so average player of og game can enjoy the remake
>>741002187I've been meaning to play the DLC. That game is kino as fuck. It makes spellcucks wear a medieval lady's dress if they want to minmax lmao
>>741002151It scales with magic circles, like all spells. The higher your magic circle, the more damage it does. But it gets shittier the more you progress anyway since endgame enemies have high resistances which forces you to use higher circle runes anyway. Main reason why it's the best spell is because it has the shortest cast time so it ends up doing the most damage per second if the enemy doesn't resist it.
>wanted to go mage since the default fire skill is so good>level a bit and melee seems finedesu i didnt wanna join the old camp anyways they seem like total wankers. gonna decide between new and stoner camp. mood-wise id pick the stoners but their camp is such a damn labyrinth fuck me.
>>741000918Locks in the real world are retardedly easy to pick. Something like 80% of locks can be opened just by raking the keys. No finesse needed. You can also just bump the lock while applying tension. Police departments have a electronic tool that does this in one motion. If you actually want to secure your house, you need one of the Abloy locks with the weird keys.
>>741002307You cant go full mage as swamp camper
>>741002347you can get fire storm which is the only thing that matters. destroy undead is cool but skellies die to 2 swings easily.
>>741002327>he thinks key shape makes a differenceThat's cute.
>>741002347ye i heard only old camp get the real mage experience, but ill go swords fuck it. dont like the old campers at all
>>741002445you can become a watermage in the new camp at the same time you'd become a firemage in the old camp and still get the full mage experience
>>741002430What? Its the only thing that makes a difference. Of course I'm talking about the shape of the rod, not the part that you hold.
>>740998465isn't it only attainable through console commands? The dude is immortal
>>741002430Security through obscurity (STO)
>forgot to take a proper mace with me to clear out the golems around Xardass' tower>bruteforce it through all of em using a blacksmith's hammer
>>741002494>>741002531You guys are literally making the "there are no viruses on mac" argument, except for keylocks.If the pins can be bound, then it's pickable.
>>741002637fact that people can just drill your lock instead of bothering to pick or just go through window doesn't mean you shouldn't have a lock
I found a second Ring of Ore SkinI am now GOD
>>741002804Yeah, but then again we were talking about specific lock types, not about people breaking in through the window or arguing that people shouldn't have locks in the first place, now, were we.
>>741002860same reason why you shouldn't get a weird lock, it's to filter out shitty pickers
These gothic threads must have had over two thousand posts since release of the game. Who knew /v/ was just waiting for such a remake to come along.
>>741002893It's only weird as long as it's not popular, which isn't much of a security feature by itself.
>>741002934/v/ has always been fond of PB style games.
>>741002934This is like 10th or so thread, although there's a bunch of off-topic shit in these as well.
>>741003019So fond not a single one has ever made it on the top 100.
>>741003063sadly majority of /v/ are amerimutt nintendo manchildren
>>741002327those simple keys and locks are so outdated. modern ones have electronic stuff in 'em
Where the fuck is that orc in the new camp mine? I can't find him for shit
>>741003306you should come across a tiny lake in the mine, above it will be a hole to jump through
>>741003306He is near the crusher at the very bottom, right before the blocked passage to the crawler nest.
>>741003306Find the room with water and look for path there
>>741002292>it has the shortest cast timeYou forgot the fact that it also lets you fucking move compared to 90% of all spells
>>740998972Ok, but is funny sequence where you Suck up all energy from the ore stash to empower your sword, making all water mages butthurt still in the remake?
>>741003349>>741003352>>741003381Thanks lads. I was very close but I missed that small opening apparently.
Czemu pobiłeś kopacza?
>>741003543don't miss the orc medicine, it's rather well hidden
>>741003569Bo się obraził i musiałem zabrać mu klucz siłą, a teraz odczep się musiałem was wszystkich starokopalnianych cweli już pięć razy sprowadzać do parteru
Let no new camper go unpunished. I pummelled the shit out of kharim just for daring to look my way.
Oh... that's sad......and why can't I take the swords?
>>741003513Its no longer funny
>>740999206>You can just kill everyone and report to Lee That was nice
Kalom and his followers actually build their own little camp in chapter 3, near the orc cemetary.Cool shit.
>>741003727Holy fuck, can you talk with them?
>>741003727sovl overload
>some locks are legit impossible to pick10/10 system
>>740998972its actually crazy how this game managed to capture 0% of the OGs atmo Risen 1 is the last gothic game to this day
>>741003780Yes, and there's even a small quest there
>>741003826if they are impossible, it's because they have a key somewherelike some of the doors in the castle or the captain's quarters on the beach shipwreckotherwise with max lockpicking 99% of all chests with a couple of exceptions are trivially easy
>>740998972>Trying to join the firemages had me feel like Corristo really wanted me to fail and just begrudingly accepted the hero because I managed to beat the trial of fire so he had to accept me because of the laws of Innos.Shit remake.
>>741003916Spoil me the quest anon, i already beat the game and uninstalled it
>>741003826actually fucking annoying since I use the lockpick mod and still want those to remain locked until I find the key. I don't know why they went with this weird ass system
>>741003727Newest Camp
>>740998551nope it fucking sucks ass UE5 slop300+ hours in the OG
>>741004062why did you fuck up the Forgotten Gods expansion so hard?
>>740998940This new lockpick game would be pretty ok if the game had the same amount of locks to pick as in the original game. The remake adds a thousand locks everywhere
>>741003980You help some novices escape by distracting the guards
>>741003856you know what this world needs ? an infinite amount of incohesive stone textures on the floor. fk that make the whole colony a fucking cliff pimple. i hate unreal engine so fkn much. it is the gaming engine of Moloch
Gothic is meh, Risen is what real chads play.
>>741004228Too bad it's half finished. You could meet the druid and close the game, losing nothing of value.
in case anyone is struggling with the "kill enemy by fall damage" achievement, you can get it easily by luring skeletons off the rafters in the Innos temple behind the waterfall
Did I fucking miss something? I am back in Old Camp after Chapter 2 ended and Diego is talking about he mine having flooded. When the fuck did that happen?
>>740998551shills say yes, gamers say no. its a garbage cashgrab that literally siphoned the soul out of the game but kept the name.
>>741004398you can get it by casting transform spell and jumping off a cliff.
>>741004424mine gets flooded after sleeper invocation
How the hell do I defeat the stone golem as a mage?
>>741004510wind magic
>>741004510stormfist
>>741002497what dude? there's no one down there is there?
>>740998551it's tragic that piranha bytes never got the global popularity they deserved until a UE5 slop remake released.
>>741004510hire a warrior with blowjobs
>>741004586it's also tragic your dad didn't pull out but here we are anyways
>>741004510equip str increasing bling and swing stone crusher at it 15 time. and buy dodge roll.
>>741004179That quest "bugged" for me and I talked to them, they moved to the front close to the soldier and suddenly they approach me and thank me for helping them run away and they just walk past the guard
>>741004586maybe they should have made better games instead of trash like Risen 3 and Elex 2
>>741003543>>741003584There's also an old Schadowbeast close by in the same mine.
>>741004715it kinda blew my mind that they added the secret entrance the warders used
>>741004679they were fucked already by gothic 3 and arcania. risen was just a fluke

>>741003727based and immersionpilled
>>741003727If you join templars his followers will try to stop you from burring Y'berion
>>741004752Half a fluke
Time to see what the 1.01 update breaks.
>>741004586>deservedThey didn't deserve shit because after Gothic they just kept churning out shovelware with retarded gimmicks instead of taking what worked for them with Gothic to a higher production level. 1 and 2 were a lightning in a bottle
>>741005231PB aside it's a shame no other dev in the world managed or even tried to make a game like Gothic
>>741005231To be fair they could churn out games faster and cheaper than a remake studio requires to remake a 25 years old game.
>>741005308there's Drova
>>741005308Of ash and steel?
>>741005356Only matches the aesthetic, don't care about top-down games tho
Worst fucking outing I've done in the game yet.>Near the coast around afternoon.>Decide to jump off that one broken bridge near the tower to check out some of the shipwrecks.>Find an underwater temple of sorts.>There's a puzzle in it, some Adanos water-based stuff with a mage's corpse near it, but I can't interact with it so it's probably a later story thing.>Get out, go around exploring shipwrecks.>Shit, it's dark now.>Shit, I just realized I've quicksaved enough I can't go back to before jumping, and my last manual save is from forever ago.>Still can't meaningfully damage fire lizards, so I can only sprint past them as they torch my ass.>Heavy rain begins to fall, even less visibility.>It's EXTREMELY DA- oh shit I just bumped into a wolf.>Oh shit, I'm surrounded by wolves.>Break into a sprint until I reach one of the rivers, no idea which, doesn't matter.>Jump headfirst into water to break off the pursuit.>Manage to get away.>Find a road.>Follow the road.>Breathe audible sigh of relief when I finally see the Old Camp tower amidst all the darkness.>Give thanks that I already cleared every mob around it ages ago and there's no chance of a final surprise Scavenger killing my sorry ass as I touch the finish life.10/10 ass clenching experience.
where can one procure a light rune? torches suck ass.
>>741005356>DrovaIf it didn't the government mandated fags, strong women and browns it would be a decent game. They can keep the lefty plot in, just less plagued with unfitting characters.
Did I accidentally skip a line of dialogue somewhere?I just finished chapter 2, I went to report to raven, and now I don't have a main story quest any more. I'm guessing he told me what to do next and I accidentally clicked through it but he won't talk to me again, and literally every tubelord for chapter 3 has just like a six fucking hour video of t hem doing random scrounging.
>>741005398>Of ash and steel>mixed>mixedDoesn't look like anything to me.
>>741005468torrez and cronos sell one starting from chapter 2

>>741001749>One dominated through straight superiority at a macroscopic level>The other thought subversion and taking advantage of the good nature of whites>The second would also be completely wiped out by muslims if the first didn't protect themThey are not the same.
>>741005430Best part of Gothic is getting lost and either finding loot or finding out.
>~180 mil something slavs>60 mil germans>500k copies soldI'm not impressed lads. Can't we do better?
>>741005468No need to buy one since there is one as loot in the Crypta you clear with Diego for the focus stone.
https://www.nexusmods.com/gothic1remake/mods/174>fixes you're game
>>741005778just sell that one to recoup part of the buy price for the rune. 200 ore for light rune is worth it.
>>741005609Already done. the mine collapsed, Y'beron is dead.
Does it matter if I kill Umakhal or not?
>>741005609>>741005930I was reporting to Raven about Thorus asking me to talk to the rogue camp in the canyon. Whatever is after that?
>>741006005try talking to milton
>>741005349PB were in not too much different situation than Bethesda is now, in many respects they were ahead of their time with Gothic. The games were like a product of ambitious nerds who wanted a game with things that they felt were missing in other games. Except they remained in that time and fell behind, and Bethesda were simply smart enough to milk their IPs so people didn't realise how truly sloppy they were until Starfield
you can beat everyone in old camp for free xp and loot and there's no consequences at all
>>741005771It isn't a F2P online shooter or a job sim so those two groups aren't that interested these days.
>>741003669Bullshit
>>741006308the consequence is that everydigger will think you're a badass
>>741006308but wont traders or characters get mad?
>>741005771>slavs>able to afford full priced games>germans>playing anything that isn't work simulatorsif you think many slavs bought gothic 1 you might be retarded
>>741006358Yes shit, Saturas even lets you do it
>>741006371should have paid me for protectionthat's the consequences
>>741006076Thanks for helping me figure it out. It was Diego. He was hiding off on the otehr side of the camp so I completely forgot he existed.
>>741006449They did.One the streets from a shady guy.
>>741006308The consequences system is going to need a lot of work and will have to be far more strict if they are to make a remake of 2. Khorinis is not a lawless prison colony and Andre will really have to punish players for trying to be loot goblins and thugs. Unless they give zero fucks about immersion
those are cheats I have installed so far + some coom png replacers for my amusement
>you can straight up just fly as a harpynoice
>>741006449i did, my friend did, my other friend also bought itit's only 200pln in poland, and there are box versions 50pln cheaperbro, most gothic fans in slav countries are hitting 35 level, they have jobs and can afford to buy a remake of one of their most beloved games from that 500.000 copies sold im pretty sure most of it were slavs buying
>>741006628It's really weird as it is anyway. I beat up a digger in new mine, that made most diggers hostile but not really guards. Then I beat up a guard because he joined in and the guards started being hostile. Then I encountered guys from the mine exiting Old Camp, gate guards joined in and now all gate guards don't like me. It's like an infection.
>have a bloody falling out with Old Camp palls>get accepted by mercenaries >ask Saturas if I can join water mages>sure but your basics are lacking so go learn alchemy first>learn alchemy>try to talk to Saturas again over the course of several days>NOT RIGHT NOW>COME BACK LATER>NOT RIGHT NOW>COME BACK LATER>YOUR SHOO LACES ARE UNTIED *uses teleport rune while I check my bug plated footwear*>NOT RIGHT NOW>COME BACK LATERFuck you old man, if you didn't want me, you just had to say it.Now I wasted 10 points for useless shit.
>>741006449The slavs who bought this game are 30+ so they have money to buy one game a year.
>>741006682Can you get killed by the barrier by flying really high up?
>>741004510I didn't have the storm fist rune, so I just stood in this spot where his rock couldn't hit me and spammed firebolt 1000 times.
>>741006761I suppose aggression works on an NPC alarm basis. The hostile NPCs need to alert nearby friendlies by proximity. Even back in the OG game you could be chased by NPCs but new ones didn't alert until someone got hit. The part with hostility not immediately working faction-wide is certainly weird though
>>741006467Well, I guess this is -1 buyer of remake.
>>741006308i was wrong. suddenly everyone wants me dead
>>741006449>>741006851sometimes your /pol/ shitposting isn't real life you sub 3 digit IQ chuddy
>>741006815How do I even get accepted by the mercenaries? Lee and the other guy just say "Not right now". Same with Saturas. I'm in chapter 5 now and still stuck with magic circle 4.
>>741006761>get ulumulu and go to the orc territory>orc bros don't mind me and let me go as I please>orc dogs are hostile as always>as soon as one orc dog attacks me orcs join in and start chimping out
>>741007000Who knew that actions have consequences! Not /v/ that is for sure.
I really like what they did with the orc enclave, it was really lame in the original
>>741006749my god Gothic really is a Polish game and der hexer is German after all
>>741006815you also need to learn scroll creation, baal cadar in the swamp camp teaches that
>>741007000they probably just want to reverse mug you, its a doggy dog world after all
>>740998660Anyone over the age of 25 is considered a boomer by 4chan standards.
>>741007052I had to 'resolve' my ties with old camp first.visit old camp, talk to Thorus, he'll tell you you were kicked out and that you should be glad he persuaded Gomez to leave you alive, then visit Saturas and ask him to join blues, after that go to Lee and he'll give you a task
can you actually join the outcast camp or is the dialogue with quentin just flavor?
>finished remake>craving for more gothic>beaten 1 and 2 too many times>not in the mood for gothic 3>wanna start archolos again>still no 2.0REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>741007191Yeah I kind of expected that, reds had same conditions before I reloaded my few hours old save and decided to become warder.
>lester takes me to see diego, milten and gorn>nobody will talk to me except diego>and that is just his training dialogueIs this quest bugged (heh minecrawlers) or am I missing a step?
im in act 2 and i don't know if there are any quests i should know about, like, are there any new missions? i've been running from camp to camp but didn't notice anything, not one NPC offered me any quests.... do i just find an almanach and kill crawler's queen and be done with it? i've cleared almost all map at least stuff that i was able to kill, so the only enemies left are like bloodhounds and other very strong monsters because the're too hard to kill
>>741007460what quest?you meet 4 of them for multiple quests
>>741007460walk back and forth until you trigger auto dialogue
>>741007460Seems bugged. Normally a dialogue triggers, afterward diego starts following you to see ian.
>>741007409Golden Gate 2, maybe?I didn't like it too much but if you just need to scratch an itch it isn't so bad.
>>741007409I started playing two worlds 2 and I hate it.
>>741007479from chapter 2 onwards you are mostly doing the main story with the occasional sidequest you might be given on the wayyou don't need to run around every chapter talking to everyone again
>>741007409risen
>>741007218Thanks! That worked. Its annoying how the game doesn't tell you that though
>>741007409If you are feeling especialy autistic play returning 2
>>741007409If you can deal with having no way to acquire a map until act 2, Of Ash and Steel is a nice substitute, atleast what I played of it.I dropped it due to that bullshit though and can't see myself getting back until they fix that (which they probably never will).Can't recommend Legend of Ahssun which is a big mod like Archolos, but it throws so many fetch quests at you that it feels like the devs hate the player and want to taunt him with the worst dogshit quests in vidya.
>>741007752so it's exactly the same as in original??? damn such a letdown... i really have hoped that the've added a lot of new side quests in remake in other chapters... damn so it's just like in original where the only interesting stuff is happening in first 2 chapters and rest of the game is exactly the same regardless of which camp you joinedman....
>>741007818New Balance isn't that autistic.Aside maybe the part where you need to explore a massive desert before you're allowed to confront Raven in the nightmare dimension.
>>741007845it's not the same, there is a shitload of things that were expandedI'm in the orc enclave right now and it's completely different, you talk with orcs and they give you sidequests and shit
There is no way they playtested this is there.
>>741007845there are few added side quests but they're more like "oh and I got this one thing you could take care of as well" kinda deals you get along main missions.
>>741007986>>741007845so should i just progress the story now? i didn't see any new quests in act 2 but if there are any please tell me becasue i don't want to miss it
>>741007803>Its annoying how the game doesn't tell you that thoughYou can say that again.I was stuck for couple of hours.Every merchant in every camp told me they won't deal with me until 'everything blows over' or that they won't sell shit to someone who breaks the rules which is fucking bullshit when you hear that from bandits or blues that should be happy you fucked over an enemy camp.Obviously I wasn't too eager to visit old camp but after the 'warm' welcome at the gates shit was resolved pretty fast.
Holy shit wolf transformation scroll let's you run around map so fast.
>In extremoDROPPED
>>741008080Transformations is how I did early travel in the original games, before I got my hands on speed potions that is. Some monsters had ridiculous jumps that you never see because the AI doesn't resort to them. Like lurker's for example, shit made you leap 4 meters forward
>>741008080just bunnyhop with the rideable scavenger
>harpy tower focus stone quest with Lester>want to reach a chest on a platform with broken bridge>turn into bloodfly>Lester giggles and compliments me on my magic skills >then pulls out a weapon and kills mewhat the fuck mate
>>741001392yap yap
>>741008080That's how you're supposed to traverse the map.Including a bird mount is retarded and redundant.
>>741008406retard take>waste points for scroll making >spend materials to make scroll>spend scroll to make one trip across the map maybe 2 minutes shorter>unable to interact with anything or pick anything
>>741008619>waste points for scroll making>spend materials to make scrollRemake issue.>spend scroll to make one trip across the map maybe 2 minutes shorterIf you're only saving two minutes then don't use the scroll. Using scrolls to traverse far and hostile areas saves you far more than two minutes.>unable to interact with anything or pick anythingGood.
>>741008303bro REALLY fucking hates bloodflies
>>741008030you won't miss anything
>>741008797As he should. Death to bloodflies, real or magic.
>>740998551Yeah, but you need decent computer because the game SUCKS played at low FPS and know how the game works in order to have satisfactory playthrough. It's okay to kill mobs to get few lvls before you get skills to acquire trophies from the bodies, luring enemies away is part of the game and mobs contrary to initial impression can be out skilled, they don't have unfair, bullshit attacks - dodge, block, rolling (acrobatics) are your friends and there are extra attacks under Q and E that allow you to easily hit enemies like bloodsuckers or knock them down.
>>741008759>Remake issue.hero pulling scrolls out of his ass would be retarded when you pay for everything else one way or the another >Using scrolls to traverse far and hostile areas saves you far more than two minutes.there are not 'far' areas, map only seems big in the beginning when everything outside old camp two shots youonce you walked across a few time you know you can't save more than couple of minutes>Good.well, have fun standing under that ladder you can't climb in wolf form
>>741008216They were in the first game too, zoomie.
>>741009174>there are not 'far' areasThen why the fuck is there a meme mount in the game?
>>741008797Course he would, he's been in the swamp for years
>>741009349go ask devs autismo
fuck, I thought Torrez teaches you the 1st circle, turns out it's just a freebie tier 0.
>Doing the focus quest in chapter 3.>Gather the one in the monastery. >Go to the canyon.>Adult ogre.>Literally do zero damage to him.>One hit from him takes a third of my health.What the actual shit?
>>741009584listen to what your mage pall tells you anon
apparently Gothic orcs are now Warhammer 40k orks
>>741009584This fight is a pretty scripted event and it doesn't mesh too well with the rest of the game.
I robbed a templar and he dropped this 2hander. Should I hang on to it till I learn to wield it in chapter 3, or sell it cause I'll find something nicer along the way? It's a nice bit of ore.
>>741009679They're even less interesting than that. I love the unrelenting ape form from the og
>>741009748I miss that ape/pig like oink noise they made when you hit them.
>>7409985519/10 for menotable pros:>soundtrack is great, you now get unique exploration and battle tracks for a lot more places in the world. xardas' tower theme has his leitmotif from gothic 3, the fire lizard beach theme has the montera leitmotif, nice touches. they even brought in extremo back to do the concert again.>playing as a mage is more catered to. you can get a fire arrow rune early and use that for chapters 1-2, you have quests for joining the fire and water mages, and the final cutscene plays differently if you make uriziel into a rune.notable cons:>the humor is not as good as in the original, millennial writing crept in to a lot of the old charming lines>spells are imbalanced. fire arrow is good the entire game, storm of fire absolutely wrecks everything, "ice block" (it's cone of cold now), ball lightning and the uriziel rune are good for enemies immune to fire, but everything else is highly situational or plain sucks>the orc visual design is a downgrade. the original ape-men orcs were far more unique than the generic greenskins in the remake>you still have to hoard stat potions because no one will train you over 100 and the game doesn't track permanent buffs separately
>>741009727I kept it and haven't anything better. I'm about to finish chapter 3
>>741009727You should use it now
I just started chapter 5. I have:>Master tier: One Handed, Archery, Crossbow, Lockpicking>Trained tier: Pickpocketing, Alchemy>Side skills: All available scavenging skills, Climbing, Riding>Above 80 STR and DEX, enough mana pool to cast any scrollAnd this is without farming KOs in camps. Just exploring the world thoroughly. The "danger" disappeared around chapter 2-3 once I was able to clear the orc settlement with ranged weapons. You guys worry too much about what to spend your LPs on. There's still at least 30 LP to gain before the ending I recon.
>>741009913good intel. thanks.>>741009942I can't swing that hunk of steel. Untrained animations suck ass.
how many chapters are there in the game?
>>741009727the templar near minecrawlers in old mine? in original they decimate the minecrawlers but I noticed in remake they die in like 4 hits and protected them because I'm retarded.
>>741009952>There's still at least 30 LP to gain before the ending I recon.level?
>>741009952What (progression) difficulty are you on?
>>740998551It's pretty good. I just wish it wasn't on UE and instead an proper in-house engine.
>>741010006the ones that travel between the swamp and the mine to deliver the crawler spooge or whatever. one of them was names. gor na something.they're definitely gonna get wrecked now unless their weapons come back somehow.
>>741009952Hard mode increases xp necessary to level up drastically. At level 7 on hard, you need around 6000xp to gain a level. On normal the xp needed at any level caps at 2000, I believe.
>>741010087>proper in-house engine.now with 10x more bugs and I don't mean the meatbugs or bloodflies
>>741009641He doesn't say anything. Do I need to enable subtitles again, I've noticed from time to time the game just doesn't play audio lines. >>741009687That's fake and gay, I thought the game doesn't do "modern design" artificial difficulty is pretty fucking modern.
I was planning on doing a 2h and fire mage build but found out about unarmed after already mastering one handed. It then told me there were no unarmed trainers which I know is bullshit because there is one. So then I asked it pic relMy fault for trying the funny jewish machine.It also then tried to shove the blame on me and said it was confused because it didn't know if I was talking about a mod or the original game. Nevermind I stated remake whenever I used it, there is no other game or mod coming out around now to conflate this with.Gonna still max unarmed and go fire mage and then see if I wanna master 2H
>>741010147>He doesn't say anything.when you meet him and go toward the area with troll, he'll tell you there are rumors about troll being there when troll appears, he'll run to one of the empty side corridors asking you to meet him there to regroup talk to him there
>>740998440Digger edition
>>741010018Currently lvl 27. Forgot to mention I also have acrobatics. >>741010058Playing on Gothic difficulty. I don't believe hard mode skimps on experience though. I think the XP should be toned down a bit for vets who know the ins and outs and what pitfalls to avoid. I have 40 mana without any armor and never put a point into it. All through elixir gains.
>>741009687it was like that in the original too.
>>741010224nice to see another retard that fundamentally doesn't understand how AI workswhere the fuck do you think it gets the information from
>>7410099896
>>741010336cry more pajeeta
>>741010146Bugs can be fixed but UE swamp movement and anti-soul gas... can also be fixed. I just wish it had a good proprietary engine. Also speed up the ladder animation and falling asleep & waking up cycles. Eating is also very slow compared to original. Why does opening my inventory have to drop torch? Just make it a toggle. There's probably mods out for all these issues already.
>>741010224Holy fuck zoomers are dumb as shit
>>741010224>AI learning data cut-off datethere are ways to force the chatbot to access current, up to date web to augment his getting-older-by-the-day training data
>>741010224Lmao, that's why you need to use one like Perplexity that cites its sources. Then check the sources yourself because even then it still lies to you.
>>741010336>>741010442>>741010463re-read this 1000 times before posting again
The future is looking bright with retards not learning anything by themselves and only relying on AI for even the most basic shit
Shame on Alkimia for putting up developer names in plain sight and not somewhere more hidden.
>>741010345Thanks
>>741010541irrelevantscreenshot like that >>741010224 can be avoided by not being a retard
>>740998551Do not listen to the faggots, they either do not remember OG, did not play much or speedrun the remake. Music changed slightly for the worse, it's more ambient driven, less melodic, and has annoying parts now + night exploration is completely different.Voice acting is meh or sucks depending on your preferred version.They changed some bits of lore and quests which now make less sense or have big implications (earlier sleeper = beliar's demon reveal, gomez wearing ore armor and killing mages himself, milten losing the book instead of talas, many many more).New chest minigame is not hard but tedious and time consuming.Goblin rock throws and bloodsuckers are most frustrating to fight enemies.If you're truly a gothic fan you'll be mesmerised for first few hours and then after every small minor bs you encounter you will grow to like it less and less. Alkimia are frauds and hacks.
>>741010271>I don't believe hard mode skimps on experience though.The game says it does, but I haven't done any testing to see what this slider actually does and it seems like atleast molerat, scavenger and meatbug exp are unchanged too between Gothic and Hard.Maybe level ups require more exp rather than enemies giving less? Mysterious eurojank slider.
>>741009880Some dude made a mod for that and added some stuff to the english ork voicelines.
>>740998551Ask again in about a month when the shills are gone
>>741010295No, you meet Diego and beat the shit out of that troll with arrows or whatever else, you COULD use shrink scroll but it wasn't mandatory.
>>741010697Leaded gas huffing boomers were able to figure this game out and zoomers are too scared to even level up in fear of "messing up the meta" build. They really are dumb as fuck
>>740998551I don't know I can't fucking run it because of how unoptimized it is
>>741010912Enemies and quests reward the same amount of XP on hard but the amount needed to level up caps at 6k instead 2k (on normal). That said the fastest way to "break" the game is by having preknowledge where some strong but low stat cost weapons are hidden, and getting those early while skipping the harder enemies. Notice most "boss" reward loot isn't held by enemies but rather sitting on the ground or in a chest. Gives a reason to use some utility scrolls like I used fear to snatch Stonecrusher early. Nothing in chapter 1 was able to stand in my way.
Starting chapter 2 with 70 strength. Beast mode.
So there's no way to become a mage after joining the wardens?
>>741011226You can become a watermage later down the line, but you'll have to wait until chapter 4
>>741011090Skill issue. I am running it at 60fps on a potato, all settings on gothic:i7-10700KRTX 308016Gb DDR4That said, the OOB optimization is shit, but as always UE can be tinkered at the userspace easily. If you're a zoomer post the .ini files to AI and ask it what to do.
>>741011357>16Gb DDR4I have the same RAM and it's tapping out sometimes.
>>741011208>Overdumped his LP into ability scores when the equipment and elixirs would have gotten him there all the sameNext time, buddy
>>741011417>He didnt wear defence rings and wasted points on alchemyPathetic
>>741011390Begin by unshitting your OS since it's probably running tons of useless garbage processes. Start by lowering your shaders and shadows. Tone down sharpening. Fix the anti-gas slop from rendering:[SystemSettings]r.fog=0r.motionblurquality=0r.MotionBlur.Amount=0r.Distortion=0r.DisableDistortion=1r.VolumetricFog=0r.atmosphere=0r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0r.BloomQuality=0r.BloomIntensity=0r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0r.DepthOfField.DepthBlur.Scale=0r.DOF.Gather.EnableBokehSettings=0r.NT.DOF.NTBokehTransform=0r.Tonemapper.Quality=1r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0r.LensFlareQuality=0r.FilmGrain=0>>741011487Defense rings? You think something is going to ever reach me when I have been blasting with Scar's War Crossbow since chapter 3? That beast crits for 280.
After almsot 20 hours of exploration (still chapter 1) I realized what I dislike in this the most. Why are there so many rocky surfaces? There was grass and plains everywhere in the original, that's what made it so comfy. Now everywhere I go is shitty grey rock and muddy shit looking paths.I also can't decide if I like how fucking dark it is at night or not. I like it because it's really oppressive and I could get jumped at any moment by some monster but at the same time I can't fucking see anything so I could miss a ton of stuff, why not just come back during the day?
>>740998551its good whoever says not either cant run the game or brown therefor not faustian and he wouldn't get it anyway
Woke trash. Try adding hot women next time.
>>741011572The OS stuff is probably true, but all the rest is purely GPU and mine is doing just fine with the game.
>>741011572Man, I really miss when most games could be edited from a simple *.ini file.
>>741011643that's why the game gives you tons of torches
>they actually nerfed firestorm>didn't buff any other spellswow, so mages are just fucked past chapter 4 lmaocouldn't even be arsed to give use runes for summoning golems or demons
>>741011740You're in luck, UE5lop is here to stay

>>741011828>didn't buff any other spellsThey did though.
please somebody make a zoomer reshade with color fr fr
Why are the slave girls so ugly?
I think I sold my mount whistle somewhere.Real fucking neat.
>>741011643Light is kinda fucked in the entire game it can be somehow both too bright and too dark at the same time, the torches on the wall have like half a meter worth of shine around them and it just looks weird.
>>741011742>1 meter light radiuswow, thanks bro!
>>741007000just stash your shit in a chest and let them have at you

>>741012059luv me lumen
Does Cor Calom teach me Alchemy if I join the weed camp or do I have to hunt around the Innos church for that one Fire Mage?
>>741012165>Does Cor Calom teach me Alchemy if I join the weed camplol, no.
>>741011206>amount needed to level up caps at 6k instead 2k (on normal)Wtf, that sounds rough especially since you can't really grind and no levels = no LP.
Can you parry orcs, or are they in dodge territory like beasts?
>>741011740You mean like pasting in the commands to the engine.ini like I just did? UE games ship in a bad state always but are almost always fixable if you know basic CS.
>>741012253It's not like you NEED that many levels to beat the game.
>>741012310you can parry orcsyou can also parry animals
>>741012365oh shit. I gotta try this.
>>741011643finally, baffling how no one else complains about this>VALLEY of mines>feels like you are on the side of the mountain most of the time
>>741012253You can grind through summoning scrolls. Summon a Golem and kill it for 400xp at any point you wish, rinse and repeat. Sleep to restock the vendor. That said the reason why it takes 6k is because the game gives too much XP. You need less than lvl 15 to even win really.
It is normal to savescvum my way through the minecrawler nest right?
>>741011643they made the colony too greenrest of Khorinis is gonna have to be a goddamn jungle
>>741012464ThisThey only painted the surface textures green in the original so that loot would be easier to discern on the ground
>>741012536In the original every single fight is a quicksave moment until to the late game, so yes.
>>741012252Got it, just gonna sneak past Milten, learn from the daft cunt and fuck off.
>>741012635You can turn into a meatbug and walk right past Milten. In fact all human guards will ignore the insect and you can use this to get in anywhere.
>>741012608>In the original every single fight is a quicksave moment until to the late gameHow can one be this bad at Gothic?
>>741012741now you have the opportunity to prove your skill
>>741012608In the original you should be a god at the time you join a faction the fuck are you speaking about nigger
>mfw everyone was talking about in extremo and I kept wondering when it was was going to happen>I'm in chapter 4 and apparently it bugged out and was supposed to happen ages agowelp the old version was the song sounded cooler anyway
>tfw can't find the last undead orc in Heem Sleepy's temple
>>741012850>whatabout remake shitty combatNo, you commented on the og game. How can you be that bad at it?
>>740998551Yes, though I last played G1 in 2009. As someone who likes G1 more than 2 unlike a lot of people I find the remake to be pretty good compared to what most remakes end up being. This is more of something between a remake and a remaster because mechanically it's stupidly similar.It's not without its flaws of course, it's quite buggy but reminiscent of how buggy the original was, the combat is different but not easier to handle, lockpicking is a bullshit puzzle, but it's more than good enough and you have to be quite fucking picky with this to consider it "bad" in direct comparison to the original. Maybe some part of /v/ hasn't seen enough butchering with remakes/remasters or I've seen too much to determine that this is faithful.
>>741012741In the original you don't have the ability to maneuver and dodge like you can in the remake. It's also far more difficult to use a bow to fish out enemies one by one, usually the entire group charges you. Try it out sometime and you'll understand.
>>741012872And getting to that point entails clearing most of the map, which you can mostly do in wolf form sure. Regardless, many of those fights can go wrong with a bad pull.Starting to notice a lot of larpers appear now that you chums have a bit of experience with the remake.
>>741010869>Goblin rock throws and bloodsuckers are most frustrating to fight enemies.Bloodsuckers are effortless to kill on melee once you get a bit of strength. It's a direct stab as they attack you. They're particularly some of the easier enemies you can kill with a bow very early on.I can't believe I'm reading this shit from someone who played the original.
>>741012561>the color green only exists in real life so loot is easier to discern
>>741013106>In the original you don't have the ability to maneuver and dodge like you can in the remake.So what?>It's also far more difficult to use a bow to fish out enemies one by one, usually the entire group charges you.You didn't play the game or you were trying to divide up goblins like a retard.>Try it out sometime and you'll understand.Nice projection. You can only struggle in the original if you try to beat the game in chapter 1 and that's because you have shit armor.
>>740998926>a fire mage in the outer ring teaching a random prisoner magic makes no fucking sensethey did that to make magic available earlier. frankly I think it could have been done more elegantly, like have Milten do it or something. >intro and changed Lee dialogue makes Rhobar into some sort of villain despite the OG implying nothing like thatI agree and Lee is totally fucked in this game but Gothic 3 already raped his story and Alkimia seem to base it on 3>Gomez now has the ore armor which is pretty retardedIt's supposed to give players a rerason to go after Gomez when in the original you might as wlel just ignore them. The OG story was just Xardas rememberng he had this super duper OP armor lying in his old basement which wasn't especially great either. >Sleeper being summoned to kill humans now even though in the OG it was stated orcs summoned him to deal with another orc tribe because they don't really give a shit about humansIt's not that big of a deal since the orc-human conflict became established from Gothic 2 onwards so that's just preparing the way for that.
>>741013168You're not gonna gaslight me you freak I last played Gothic 1 not even two years ago.I didn't clear the whole map on chapter 1, steered clear from orc territory, didn't abuse much transformations and didn't randomly beat people for EXP, I simply did every single quest you could possibly do in every single camp and cleared the map that has attainable mobs.You can break the whole ass economy on the game just by using the smithy in the Old Camp, and that's not even an exploit you have to dig deep, you literally discover it the very second you make a sword and realize it sells for 10x its reagent values without any skill investment.By the time you get to the minecrawler nest quest, minecrawlers are absolutely fucking trivial, the whole dungeon is set so you can pull always 2 or less than you, and there's not even a boss fight you just wail at the defenseless queen.Then the game only gets easier and easier, the only difficult fight is the Sleeper and mostly because it's janky bullshit.
>>741012345>>741012503You are probably right, but I think I'll still restart with normal progression difficulty since I'm still very early into the game.I'd rather be a bit too strong but have enough LP for all the non-combat shenanigans than limit myself to 1/3 LP and barely max one weapon.
>>741013168>And getting to that point entails clearing most of the map, which you can mostly do in wolf form sureAre you for real?
>>741013338green is meme tier
does this look washed out or no?
>>741013347Schizo take. Everyone quicksaved frequently in the original. You may reply to me, but I won't read it.
>>741013407>like have Milten do it or something.Have a Baal do it to lure you into joining the sect. It fits even better.Fire Mages don't share unless you're one of them.
>>741013347>>741013407Not reading your redditor parse response lmao. Reply in one full sentence or you lost.
>>741013531Problem is anon how many people are going to view that on a correctly calibrated screen?
>>741013586...the original doesn't even have quicksaving without modding or ini changes
>>741013586>Everyone quicksaved frequently in the original.Stop projecting.
>>741013643schizophrenia strikes again
>>741013675Schizo and didn't even play the original. Impressive. Keep going at this for as long as you want. You're probably monitoring this thread like a psycho lmao.
>>740998551Yes >t. 7 G1, 9G2 and 1 G3 completion
>>741013531The shadowy areas do look washed outUnfortunately the visuals in the game make it so you either have visible darker areas and nighttime which turn into a washed out mess in daylight, or nice visuals in daytime but you can't see a fucking thing in the dark (which sure some people will say is more immersive or whatever, but it's just impractical).Though I do remember G2 NotR being stupid dark at night.
>>741013648this fucking antisoul gas/fog is everywhere
>>741013675>Uuuuhm.... it's not quicksave because it's not CALLED quicksaving???... Woah, you self-obliterated yourself in this fake argument you created in your own head.
>>741013531Use the engine.ini edits to remove that anti-soul gas and you're almost there. Then knock up saturation and increase contrast a bit. The exact parameters will depend on your monitor. That's playable, but it can be improved.
>>741013495>he's already posting meme chartsyou lost
Of all things to change and of all things to keep the same, why would they cover of the women more than the original? Why? This is the one thing preventing me from buying it and its because the ONLY logical explaination is that the villans of the industry got their grubby little feminist hands on this one as well. The "consultants" just HAD to be involved and ruin this one as well. Why else would the girls be dressed the way they are? Why?
I just got 6th circle magic and have spare 90LP. going full retard and buying 2h mastery and bit of strength to wield uriziel worth it?
Anything of interest in the shipwrecks? And how do I get on that big "arch" thing near the swamp camp?
>>741013934you can get a rune from uriziel
>>741013932Stop pretending like you are so confounded why in the woke clownworld of 2026 they censored female skin. You know exactly why. I hope a gooner modder has fixed this issue by the time I start my second run.
>>7410139342h moveset is really fun when mastered so yeah go for iti did musclemage 2hander with uriziel toward the end, shame robes are so garbage for actual combat
>>741013934The sword can be turned into the most powerful spell of the game. But yes, by the end your "build" identity starts to crumble because you've got enough LP to basically be several different archetypes.
>>741013963good to hear. I couldnt do that anyway since Lee started hating me as soon as I became necromancer. "I only train new campers" like bitch where do you get your intel?
>>741013954>Anything of interest in the shipwrecks?there's a very powerful bow on the mast of the beach shipwreck, the captain's quarter also has a great amuletother than that there is also one quest book (for mercs only) on one of the wrecks on the bottom of the sea, and you can use telekinesis to pick up a 26dmg 2-hander from a corpse on the wreck near the swamp camp
>>741013932No one got their hands on anything devs are from Barcelona which is libtard central they probably wanted to fight the patriarchy by themselves.t. I live in Barcelona
>>741014029I don't know why they changed the robes. In the original robes are equally as good as any piece of armor. Now they're worse. They should at least give a passive mana regen, or allow spells to be cast while moving, or some reason to equip them. Shame.
>>741013932The same reason they couldn't have been dressed like that in the 1950s or in 1887. Societal norms have changed and overt showing of female skin is seen as problematic by the mainstream. In 2000 this was different. I don't know why retards like you fail to understand this. And before you sperg out at me for being a tranny woketard libshit etc, I'm not condoning it. I merely explain to you why.
>>741013919Goes nuts but green is a meme colour.>https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pointers_gamut
so what would be best difficulty? enemies on hard and rest on gothic?
>>741014105the high water mage robes are good on paper against casters, but those orc shaman cast their spell and then come bonk you for half your health if you aren't wearing minecrawler plate and rings.
>>741007409unless you mind 2D, play Drova
>>741014148>Societal norms have changed and overt showing of female skin is seen as problematic by the mainstream.Not really, it's a vocal minority, and mostly in burgeristan.Trying to impose it does not make it mainstream, no matter how much said minority likes to pretend otherwise.
>>741014236>woke libtard gameYikes
>>741013896how about this?
>>741014195just 'gothic' probably, trying to squeeze difficulty out of this game is a bit of a fool's endeavor since nothing can even compare to how ridiculous the player becomes
>>741014273If the mainstream had issues with it it would be more controversial. Most societal norms are imposed by vocal minorities and become established because people accept them. The people who have issues with how the women are dressed nowadays are a minority without power while most people simply don't care.
>>741014381rather it's about becoming overpowered later (assuming player doesn't just beat the shit out of everyone in game)harder experience sounds like it would make builds a lot more rigid and less fun, I don't know about economy
>>741014148Ok but how do we reverse it and make true absolute artistic freedom the norm?
>>741014459the only true difficulty you get out of these power fantasy sandboxes is by imposing artificial restraints on yourself, because the natural progress path will always have you become a god that can 1v100 entire factions
>>741011915Uriziel (always charged)
>>741014513you would need people making those games who actually want that
>>741013932This is specially ass backwards because Spain is pretty much naked central. Summer is perilous and young spanish girls have no fucking chill.
>>741014513Quite simply the video game industry has grown to large and has to appease (((investors))). The only way to unmake it is to somehow crash the entire industry to the point where nobody is interested in vidya anymore.You can find even today honest video game developers that truly express themselves, but that's generally only possible for small indie studios (i.e. any of the self-funded solo-dev savants).
I feel like I reached chapter 2 a little bit too fast. I did most quests for the old camp and swamp camp, but there was fuck all in the new camp to actually do outside of fucking around with weed and helping the rice lord. I'm fairly weak and next thing I know I'm dealing with an undead orc. Thank god I could just defeat him with one level of 1h weapons.
>>741015648>>741015648>>741015648
>>741011572It's impressive how much better the game looks without volumetric fog.Took a bit of fiddling to make it work but was worth it.
>>741014195Played a game like that and it wasn't bad but now I'm doing a swamp run and but everything on hard. I also have a mod that increases prices everywhere including ore price for skills.A lot tougher but I like it. In other games I got very strong very fast but this is more my tempo.
Is there a teacher to make you run fastere
