Gothic II

Just beat this, that last chapter was pretty weak

>that last chapter was pretty weak
Every PB game ever.

Eh. I thought the whole final chapter was much stronger than in Gothic 1. And at least this one got a satisfying epilogue instead of a fucking two lines long narration.

Kinda wanna do another playthrough already, I was Paladin for my first

Why are Risen and Arcania installments such abominations compared to Gothic?

is Gothic 3 decent?

Not sure, I have yet to try it. Right now I'm going through Risen. It was apparently made by the same people that made Gothic. But it's just amazing how a 2011 game is more clunky than a 2001 one.

Risen 1 is the best Gothic game, you are retarded.

Gothic 3 has the best world but the worst story

I'll give it a shot then

also download the community patch

>Play mage
>Hoard mana potions
>Do NotR asap to get ice spear and storm, best raw damage output at level 2/3
>Cleanse the valley of mines of its infestation
>Do it again with lightning in chapter 4
Glorious. Plus once mage gets to endgame its literally unstoppable

Alternatively
>Max dex archer
>Bow firepower kills everything, acrobatics never gets hit back

damn. so is paladin the weakest class I could have picked, then?

Every class has pros and cons and gets crazy good, it's more of what you find most fun to play really

It's what makes it worth replaying to try all of them

Just like Gothic 1, which is why I never bothered to touch Gothic 2 (in addition to the horrible backtracking)

Gothic 3 is a pile of shit

Don't listen to anyone who says it's good


Risen 1 is inferior to Gothic 1 and 2

Risen 2 and 3 are complete dogshit


Gothic 1 and 2 are the only good Gothic games, 3 is medicore at best

Install DX11 and L'hiver for ur 2nd playthrough if you havent already

I did DX11, what's L'hiver about?

even better graphics and changes to the map

it change difficulty at all?

yes

dont wanna get raped too hard desu

Risen 1 is very fun, but falls apart towards the end (just like gothic 2). Gothic 3 is too big for it's own good, it lacks that dense level design that makes gothic great, and your interaction and effect on the world is superficial at best. It's still a good game though.
Ignore everything else.

If you're really really craving more gothic, then you should at least try it. temper your expectations since it really is a step down from gothic 2. Install all the community patches and maybe the content mod. stay away from the add on, which was developed in fucking india.

It's a let down in terms of almost everything compared to first two, open your eyes double nigger.
