Fucking Gothic nails the immersion. Why aren't details like this a common thing in modern RPG game?

pretty sure that RPGs in general started going to shit since Oblivion
Don't forget this one

You don't even have to talk to them to trigger this.Just appearing in their sight is enough to spot your action.

That's actually IRL flaw. Might as well kill yourself if you don't want to deal with this.
>enemies don't respawn
Why would they? Lmao
>fast travel is almost non existent, the portals are shit, and the lack of respawning enemies make it more of a hiking simulator than Morrowind could ever hope to be
>why can't I go instantly wherever I want waaaah
>shit dungeons
subjective
I'll give you the others though.
Your grave mistake was to reveal yourself to be a salty Morrokek, you almost had me
>Never had a problem with this
Because you never played as a pure mage .You probably spend your LP on a secondary fighting skill like archery or melee.
>>enemies don't respawn
they do after each chapter
>shit camera view
Takes a few moments to get used to
>your character needs crouching and grabbing animations to pick up objects, making picking up coins and other scattered clutter an absolute chore
You're not a vacuum cleaner like the heroes in most RPGs OF COURSE YOU NEED TO BEND OVER AND PICK UP THINGS FROM THE GROUND
>shit dungeons
They're dungeons: There's shit in between corridors, puzzles and and end boss. What more do you want?
>enemies don't respawn
Not exactly true. Enemies don't respawn in the locations you killed them, but through the course of the main plot, they spawn in new locations.
>cheesing the game for gold is way too easy, even a 10 year old kid can do it
Yes, learning how to exploit Gothic's system is a part of gitting gud
>fast travel is almost non existent, the portals are shit, and the lack of respawning enemies make it more of a hiking simulator than Morrowind could ever hope to be
But it's not really a problem, since the areas aren't that big to traverse and are actually interesting in their geography, much like Morrowind.
>map is consisted of cramped passages and roads despite the """"""""open"""""""" (((world)))
Yes, open world, but not a stupid sandbox. It creates a sense of accomplishment, when you manage to enter a new area through challenges instead of "just walking there"
>bugs up the ass
Not really. There are interesting glitches to exploit, but for its time and complexity, it is a very stable game.
>90% of the mods are german or polish. enjoy no mod
Who the fuck cares about mods? This shit isn't overhyped garbage that needs mods to be interesting, like Elder Scrolls.
G2 had the best fucking quests. This game is second to none when it comes to making the NPC feel like characters with agenda instead of just quest dispensers
n it's not even main storyline stuff, it's just something that happens
>your character needs crouching and grabbing animations to pick up objects, making picking up coins and other scattered clutter an absolute chore
I don't remember if it was Gothic 2 or Risen 1 where your character would instantly pick up an item without animation when sneaking.
Heh you missed it, it was Gothic 3.
gothic 3 my dude
I will list down the pros and con's
Pros :
>Awesome quests
>Combat makes sense, when a group of wolves are attacking you need to clear those bastards by arrows or long ranged spells not by using swords or melee.
>You are not a OP warrior like dragonborn who can use his/her voice to elimate foes , you know your limits to face which enemies and which not until you progress your character.
>scary dungeons and caves and you gotta plan your staragedy to attack or else you die.
>satisfication of killing a stronger enemy when you have become stronger.
>Resource gathering is fun in game
Cons:
>camera view
>Melee combat can be clunky
>Fear of lack of mana potions
I guess that's it.
>no shield
>you can still block or dodge every attack
What's the problem here?
Is there any chance for Elex, in your opinion?
I mean i chould get over the post-apocaliptic-medieval pseudo sci-fi setting, but in terms of gameplay and music.
Some video preview youtube.com
I still have hope, mostly because i know that if they fuck this one up, it's over for Pirahna as a company.
I loved how in Risen 3 one of the NPCs would give you a long list of random and ridiculous fetch quests that actually appeared in your log for a brief moment until he tells you that he's just fucking with you and one after another of them blink up as completed with some pity-experience thrown in.
Say what you want about Piranha Bytes but they know how to do some non-sterile dialogue and amusing moments.
Is this bait? Must be, but then again, Gothic 2 is known for bumblasting Soulsfags
dont be a lazy dick, just learn alchemy - potions will be all over the place since forests are large as fuck.
whats that? combat is clunky? naah man just catch the rythm of mechanism, learn enemies - dark soulish style.
I think ELEX will be like arcanum in 3d.If that is the case then I will surely buy ELEX.
Playing mage it's really hard and boring
until chapter 4 you usless and in next two chapters you are overpower
but overall game is really good
>fast travel is almost non-existent
i thought you were supposed to be talking about bad things
>satisfication of killing a stronger enemy when you have become stronger.
Satisfaction of taking stronger opponent down with just skill is far greater.
I remember me and my brother had Moe challenge in Gothic 2. The challenge is that once you enter the city you have to go to the dock area and Moe would want to take you down. You must take him down without leveling up, it was a good way to get some nice amount of exp too. No city guard sissy shit.
if you are an open minded player then it'll b a pleasure for you, just like all the piranha bytes games.
Is Risen 3 worth the play.
I played it before, finished the first pirate chapter, got to some mage castle, but stopped because i saw that it was almost Risen 2 all over again.
After some time i decided to pick up from where i left of but save was gone, so i had to do pirate chapter again, which made me insta quit.
Is the mid game different than Risen , because it's not fun going through that experiance again.
How many mana essence you had during playthrough? Did you play as a pure mage ?
shit game for krauts
never really ran in robes but im pretty sure that there is just enough mana plants, shopkeepers with potions and just potions lying around khorinis, jarkendar and valley of mines that you'ree good with the game till the very end. hit up constantino and learn something about cooking these mana flowers.
Is Gothic 2 worth trying? For some fuck all reason G1 wouldn't start on my PC, so I'm considering just skipping to 2.
Yes.
Though, it's my personal unpopular opinion, but I prefer the first one
Yeah, although you better play G1, because you will visit G1 playzone later in G2 and it will change a lot.
moe was an example of easy ass oponent, the strategy to some of them was just hit n block eveytime. same deal was with the guy who held the arena behind the storage in docks. harder enemies used complex rythms of strikes, like sentenza from mercenary camp
Gothic 2 is unironically one of the best RPGs of all time
you can just go on second game without any idea about the first one, actually you're supposed to have an amnesia and game will explain things to you (thats some good writing right there)
People think I'm nuts but I liked Gothic 3 as well.
>enemies don't respawn
That is partly not true and the worst argument I've ever heard against gothic. Enemies respawn every new chapter .But I guess it's not the same amount that were there from the beginning. But that's what makes gothic so good. You actually feel like you advanced in the world by killing monsters blocking your path, instead of killing them every god damnt time you're crossing that road again like those fucking flying things in morrowind.
Gothic 1 is mediocre but you gonna lose on a lot if you skip it. Not only many characters return for the sequel, but the entire second half of Gothic 2 takes place in the corrupted version of Gothic 1 map.
>G1 wouldn't start on my PC
Did you tried the GOG version?
>corrupted version of Gothic 1 map
So the usual version of Gothic 1 map?
Gothic 3 with community patch is actually pretty good
not godtier-levels like Gothic 2 but its still pretty fucking good
it's a good rpg
and bad gothic game
but it ruined myrthanas potential
don't blame devs tho
blame publisher, they rushed the game.
Redpill on life
>enemies don't respawn
>whats that? combat is clunky?
It very much is. Now, Gothic 2 is a good game, but there are glaring issues that become readily apparent the more time you spend with it. It's a hallmark of Piranah bytes to have shitty combat, I suppose
>The inability to damage anything other than what Nameless hero is currently targeting
>The unreliability of changing the highlighted enemy
>The goddamn fucking crit system fuck me fuck fuck fuck
If you just forward to 2 then you are gonna get butt raped by bandits ,wolves ,bloodfly and all those filthy monster in the beggining so if you like challenge then go for it.
Play Gothic 2 with notr expansion and increase your Dexterity up to 60 and your 1hand fighting skilling to at least above 30℅.Then buy master sword and you will be whooping asses in the game but still you will be no match for orcs,fire lizards and other creatures in valley of mine.To match with orcs you gotta do quest and kill most monster with your master sword in chapter 1 and then level up and make your character stronger to face orcs in next chapter.
naah man, it changed a lot due to some events taking place there - go and see
you guys prefer Classic or Night of the Raven?
I know what you mean, like New Camp turning into a snow dune, or Old Camp being under siege by orcs and different additional mines.
It's just Gothic 1's map wasn't a very nice place in the first place.
Sentaza and Bullco were really tough opponent I faced.Even using master sword against them was of no use.
Night of the Raven
Night of the raven due to more areas and large map and new quest added and plus its very harder than the classic one.
they had this little block block wait(when they are exhausted after second strike) attack mechanism, i remember it pretty well
420 camp with penis snakes was comfy af

"Awkward" is probably the proper word to describe it.
I played it and enjoyed it but I'd be lying if I said that it was a great or even good game.
Combat is clunky (even if you get all the the stuff like counter attacking that make it MUCH more tolerable) and bringing a companion with you completely breaks it, the story is almost non-existent and some of the ideas it brings to the table like the sea monster fights are fucked beyond believe.
And yet it was fun as fuck to explore the hand-crafted environments that mop the floor with all those boring-ass open worlds in other games and the dialogue has this "foul-mouthed 12yo on a schoolyard" charme that you find in very few titles that aren't by Piranha.
And then there is the final island: it's the usual "combat before anything else" deal like in other PB games but a lot of it feels like someone tried to design an entire island in the vein of a Souls game with its item, corpse and monster placement and overall design and if you'd add some shortcuts and bosses you'd probably end up with what DS2 was once supposed to be like.
>>The goddamn fucking crit system fuck me fuck fuck fuck
This is still one of the most baffling things in the game.
You and your enemy hit each other over and over, doing only chip damage, and suddenly one takes away almost the entire life bar with one hit.
>Skyrim got famous
Why?
Marketing and dudebro casual normies with no standards infesting gaming.
Only krauts and polacks and ruskies played that shit game.
go hunt demon
>it's another "retard who thinks open world means big empty spaces" episode
G1 and 2 are more open world than fucking bethesda "have to load zones for the smallest of shit" games.
Looks much too similar to R3.
What I loved about G1/2/R1 was the factions and how they gave you certain skills and interesting quests. Becoming a mage in G2 and R1 is such an awesome questline.
But in R3 you just do a bunch of whatever quests and suddenly you're a "mage" aka guardian or whatever it's called in english.
Worst of all was the fact every faction in R3 had magic, and so far Elex looks exactly the same.
>berserker have magic aka direct damage
>clerics use "totally-not-magic" psy thing for healing and such
>outlaws use "totally-not-maguc" stems for self buffs
The fact that quest givers can die if you don't get to them fast enough just sounds like something that gets really annoying after a while.
