This game is pretty cool. Are you enjoying it anon?
Not playing it, because I hated the original Gothic. I get the impression that its popularity arose from it having a decent slav translation and low hardware requirements, meaning that Tomasz could play it on his wheat-powered laptop.
>>743480508Its pretty fun honestly. You just get chucked into the deep end with no idea what you're doing, its kinda challenging. No map no nothing, just trial and error.
>>743480508>I hated itDidn't upgrade strength or dex did you? It's a simple intelligence check and magic wasn't viable in the original so you certainly didn't go that route.
>>743480202I've already beaten the remake 3 time. It's really fun, although quests in later chapters become janky as fuck.
>>743481247Yeah I'm just having a few problems finding cash early, I watched some dogshit guide but I just get lost in the wilderness if I try to find the places he mentions, need a map but can't afford it. Sucks to suck
I accidentally deleted the torrent, played until the end of chapter 3 but it was starting to get really boring so won't bother downloading it again.
>>743480202Yes, very - got to chapter 4 & am about the meet Xardas. Too bad Dota came up with a brilliant new event, and Im spending my time on that :) I do think I've maxed out my character rather early tho ... nothing's challenging anymore, not orks, not trolls, not even shadowbeasts. I mean, I looted the troll skins for the shrinking potion before the quest, so they were unavailable when I needed them, but I managed to kill the big troll by electrocuting him to death from above ... turns out they're vulnerable.
>>743480202on my 2nd run now, no-sleep achievement sucks>>743480508no, it got popular because it's good>>743481297my best advice for early money: get ~700 ore, learn the 4 hunting trophies skills, pump STR and kill everything you can, sell trophies
>>743482185Dude its a struggle. I just got 20 str then took lvl 1 one handed, tried to fight someone in the arena and didn't scratch him. I'm having a good time but its pretty unforgiving.
>>743482271with 1 hand lvl 1 and 20 str you won'tt be able to beat most humans and not many animals, that's normal. At that point your main focus is doing talking quests, visiting the camps (with the guys who can escort you there) and exploring non-combat stuff. Talk to Baal Parvez and Mordrag to visit both other camps, they kill stuff for you for some easy XP. Drax can also take you to the new camp via a diff route - same thing. Also if you can get to the new mine after the New Camp you get a digger armor for free, it's not a lot but helps quite a bit. With that armor you can enter the pub for free too. Point is just explore and talk for now
>>743482364Pretty much. I got the little scavenger mount coming tomorrow, Guess I just need to get a few levels and do some hunting
>>743481084I didn't struggle too much with the combat. I hated the bland environments, the risible character models, the buffoonish voice acting, and a colour palette that was limited to shades of used toilet paper. It was a fucking depressing experience.
>>743482502i mostly agree but the same can be said about the original, quite happy with how they enhanced the environment to be honest. OG was barren as fuck. And there were some cool places, like inside the Sleeper temple, Xardas's Tower is nice too
>>743482574>same can be said about the originalI was talking about the original, I haven't tried the remaster. I quit the original during the mines, because that was an exceedingly boring environment even by the standards of Gothic.
>>743480508I think Elderscroll and Zelda brainroted the western american audience too much to enjoy eurojank grimdark fantasy. Feels like its europeans who enjoyed Max Payne and Soul Reaver more than amerimutts
>>743482662oh, well idk what to tell you. I played the originals when i was in highschool (i'm 38 now) and back then i loved them, i played both dozens of times and i still think of them fondly. Playing them now as a modern gamer would probably suck i guess but i'll say this, Gothic 2 is much better than 1 so maybe try that before giving up idk. Or just play the remake, it's janky but great
>>743482502Welcome in east europe *smacks your face*
>>743482773Hopefully they remake 2 as well
>>743482773>I played the originals when i was in highschool (i'm 38 now)Right. I played the original Gothic for the first time last year, so I suppose I was just too late for this party. It's now very dated. I bought the trilogy during a Steam sale, so I'll probably try Gothic 2 at some point and see how that goes.
How do I get a sword better than whistler's sword easliy?
>>743483232I think they will, and if they expand it like 1 it will be huge. My first playthrough of the remake was like 80 hours and the original can be finished in like 15>>743483313there's a lurker's bite sword in a cave beyond the little pond near the rice fields in New Camp, the pond by the entrance to the camp, swim accross it.Or loot the chest of the blacksmith in the swamp camp, it has an even better axe
>>743483313Go talk to the blacksmith in the old camp and learn smithing.Then never smith another weapon for the entire game because it's useless.
I don't pay for censored demakes.
>>743483509You don't pay for or play anything. You just complain on 4chan every day. I've seen you in every Gothic thread, i'm certain of it.
>>743483509What has been censored? I don't remember anything controversial in the original.
>>743483378Thanks man that's really useful, I didn't want to kill him for no reason other than to rob him
>>743483585Theres a lot of very gay changes made. Women dont have a unique walk cycle so they look like trannies and the usual other women hating censorship.
Pickpocketing is so broken I yoinked the strongest armor at the beginning of the game and the blacksmith even upgraded it for me no questions asked.

When can i get the minecrawler Armor from Wolf? I gave him the plates but even after days i cant get it
Played it twice, now playing Archolos.Cool games.
>>743485990should be able to get it in a day, might depend on story, i got it around meeting Ur-Shack, had it when i entered the Orc Enclave
>>743483313There's a steel mace in the bottom of the old mine. It's guarded by some minecrawlers but you can easily lure them out of the tunnel where the guards will kill them for you.
>>743480202Im actually impressed by this game and finished the game as a mage.
>>743487042Ahhh it seems you need the Ulumulu Story wise, thanks anon
>>743487848Magic does look pretty broken but I kind of just want to roam about with the biggest two handed sword possible
>>743487848>>743487970I love the game but i also played a mage and was pretty disappointed. Breath of death is a 6th circle spell, it shouldn't be so weak - i used it on an orc dog and it took 50% of its HP, i laughed. It was incredibly strong in the OG. Also, firebolt as a basic magic spell shouldn't be that strong. Fireball is awful and that should be the go-to spell for most cases. Death to undead should insta-kill any undead imo. Ended up relying mostly on Ball Lightning (as a starter only) then fire storm and some storm fist. Uriziel as a spell is pretty great though. But you can only really be a battle mage with heavy reliance on melee. Which is fine, i just wish the spells would be stronger and more fun to use. Good luck fighting a Shadowbeast with magic only
I've just been googling and apparently the hunting skills are useless? People won't buy the trophies and they cost too much. Did this get fixed or should I just bumrush the old mine to get some cash?
>>743489113Yeah the way the new trade system works really fucked that up. In the Original you wanted to get those skills asap cause it made you really good money but now with NPC sellers pushing the price down so hard shit's not worth the learn points.
>>743489198Yeah I feel a bit stalled honestly. I've done most of the "best start" stuff but I'm still really weak, can't fight people and just don't really know what I'm doing
>>743488731Balancing remains kinda stupid.The best spells are the low end spells cause they actually buff their damage with the higher circles now. Giving you much better DPS - meanwhile the top tier spells aren't really worth the investment anymore. People just use fire and ice arrow in combination with the anti-undead spell and thats kinda it.Not like melee is decently balanced either. 2H Axe animations can infinite combo so they are just the best weapons with enemies having no chance to respond to you - meanwhile everything else has a combo limit.
>>743489113New economy has neutered hunting trophies, sadly, nobody gives you shit for them.
>>743489265What have you done? What level are you? What stats?You shouldn't attempt to fight people (well people that can fight d*ggers are not human) until level 5~ or so, and even then it depends on the NPC.
