Mages

militia
onar is a dumb anarchist
orcs will slaughter him

Cringe

well my thread died so I'll post here instead. What's a good party based RPG? I don't care about other details other than it being a party based RPG with party management.

Dexterity focused mercenary, is it viable?

thats not morrowind...

>Dexterity focused mercenary, is it viable?
Rapier + Bow is very viable

also: anyone playing L'Hiver right now? Patch 1.1.2 when

What was his fucking problem?

>buy my game user

Thanks, I'll try this combination when I start my playthrough.

Is there somewhere full documentation for L'Hiver in english? Specifically interested in the changes it makes to skills and crafting.

Since bows always deal full damage, they are actually more efficient than melee in early to mid game. Also if you're going for a pure dex/bow build, you can just use all str/1h bonuses as soon as possible, which means you will be able to put up a good fight with rapiers.
You can actually quite easily clear vast majority of Khorinis in the first chapter as an archer, maybe with an exception of that one spoopy crypt.

german forum but everything in this thread is english

bump

I can understand Mages but Militia? Come on. City Guard is the most beta shit ever. Lord Andre is not even a real paladin. They are also shit mages and shit warriors by comparison.

>onar is a dumb anarchist
>be independent farmer
>goverment officials appropriating your property without recompense or due warning
This is paraphrasing soviet union actions in satellite states. If you think this is ok kill yourself you commie fuck.

This. Plus joining the Mercs makes the most sense since many of your friends are there.

Much appreciated, user.

>You can actually quite easily clear vast majority of Khorinis in the first chapter as an archer
This sounds intriguing, can't wait to try this style of playthrough.

>a bunch of krauts made a city in 2002 which is more immersive than anything bethesda has shitted out

How did they do it?

look for L'Hivers version of the city, enjoy the raging boner

Can someone explain to me how do I play bow in l'hiver when my arrows just don't do any damage to my targets. I shoot, the arrow hits the target, makes a *thump* sound but there is no damage. There is also no stagger animation either. Eventually the target receives damage from an arrow or two but it always loops. Is this Dexterity/Skill related?

Zeig mir deine Ware

>Is this Dexterity/Skill related?
Dex increases the damage of the Bow/Arrow. Bowskill increases the Range of your Bow, very important. It's the same for Vanilla and L'Hiver. Everything under 30% Bowskill will most likely only hit near melee range, sadly. Imo Bow only gets viable after 30% Bow Skill until then skill your 1h/2h to 30% for better moveset.

>Much appreciated, user.
hope you will find your answers

Mach das du Raus kommst!

How do you honestly survive chapter 3 ?
How do you fight multiple opponents as melee? Lik orcs, goblins etc.

I've played this game for years but I always seem to cheat on these, with spells or bow or whatever else.

The main issue with Bethesda games is that they refuse hiring more people due to a tight budget.

Compare Khorinis, the biggest city in Gothic 2 with the Imperial City of Oblivion or Vivec in Morrowind. Pure nostalgia wanking and that's coming from someone who grew up with both.

>replay gothic 2
>finish chapter 3
>know rest of the game is now shit
>stop playing

In what way are the Elder Scrolls cities better? I have only played Oblivion, and that was 5 years ago for a few hours.

Khorinis being big is not why it is good, by the way.

Imperial city is trash and the layout makes absolutely zero sense, kill yourself.

>tight budget

What? Skyrim and Fallout 4 sold like a billion copies.

small dick

I didn't say they were better because you can't compare Gothic/Risen to TES. Gothic is about a relatively small area with one big city and two smaller ones and heavily faction-based with a big emphasis on progression. TES is about building a whole open world. That's why Gothic 3 sucked, it tried being both and failed.

Is The Returning mod good?

kinda feel the same. pacing is crap cause your Hero at the start of Chapter 4 is VERY strong, not even Orcs in large numbers aren't a problem. everything is cheesy. Also feels like Chapter 4 dont have many more quests left... kinda sad. Maybe start L'Hiver cause this mod is hard as fuck desu

so much this!

>Imo Bow only gets viable after 30% Bow Skill
I don't know, I'd say melee weapons depend on skill even more, since non-critical hits have damage divided by 10, meaning that even a stupid sheep can survive a hit from 50 dmg sword swung by a 40 str character if you don't land a crit. And on top of that early game enemies are usually weaker or even completely unprotected against arrows, so even a shitty shortbow will pack full 25 dmg against them compared to lousy 5 dmg from starting weapons. I always find the bow near Xardas' tower to be a very convenient problem solver until I get my primary stats to the bare minimum of 34.
In my opinion an early game archer completely dominates an early game warrior.
