Clever girl

That isn't the Witcher 3

Just finished gothic 2. what a god damn great rpg. I played 1 and 2 back to back and it feels like one long adventure. Go from a shit eating criminal scum hobo bullied by everyone to a demon slaying dragon hunting champion of the gods, and it feels like you earned it every step of the way.
I know gothic 3 is considered inferior and downright bad but I cant wait to jump back into the world of gothic with that and risen.

You used the wrong image OP. Don’t worry I got the right one for you.

Gothic 3 is pretty good in my opinion

Skyrim Sega Genesis edition

I keep hearing on here and reading on other forums its not as good, people harkening it to oblivion in terms of quality. I guess that has to do with less level design and more open world focus?

Yea but the mechanics and gameplay are dogshit.

Why is this picture always used for gothic 2 threads? The fuck does it mean aside from just being a random ss from the game? Is it just what the botnet happened to pick up on so if is eternally reposted? Are any of the anons in this thread actually people?

gameplay is good my dude, just not intuitive.

Name a bad mechanic in G2
And how's gameplay bad, exactly? Its an open world RPG brimming with unique content and complex quests with multiple solutions

You've got about ten seconds to beat it before I add you to the list of NSF casualties.

>I guess that has to do with less level design and more open world focus?
Well, it's less about focus and more about being too big to have actual level design. Gothic 1 and 2 were small open worlds, so they were able to have distinct level design.

Also, a lot of the quests and what you generally do in Gothic 3 feels like going down a checklist.

>Yea but the mechanics and gameplay are dogshit.
How so?

it's nowhere near as good as 2, and it's a completely different design philosophy

Gothic 3 is basically the modern open world meme, huge as fuck open world but with less content and polish, and gets repetitive after a while

It's still fun to explore, and still has a few Gothic designs that make it better from other open world RPGs. It's super comfy and the OST is amazing.

The combat is absolute garbage tho. And keep in mind the reason Gothic 3 turned out so bad was because the publisher forced the devs to release the game like a year and a half before they were done with the game. If it wasn't for the jew publisher we could have gotten the best RPG ever created that maybe even beats 1 and 2 because it definitely had the potential

Gothic 3 is pretty poor in my opinion

>I guess that has to do with less level design and more open world focus?
That definitely doesn't help. It's just too big for own its good and abandoned the tight design of previous Gothic games. I was able to somewhat enjoy it until basically the end, but I skipped over a lot of the stuff outside Myrtana because I just didn't feel motivated to do that shit and spend hours running across the desert. The game also ends up throwing absolutely absurd amounts of enemies at you, I played a mage and I wanted to off myself doing some of the quests. I can't imagine how it is for STR characters (my favourites for G1/2) who don't have any AOE attacks and lower time to kill. Controls for close combat are also worse imo.

not him but I personally didnt like how enemies would aggro all together in proximity, and since they would always have groups of 3+ enemies you easily get overwhelmed, especially with lizardmen or orcs.

Ultima Underworld and Ultima 7 are better.

But Gothic 2 is still pretty cool.

>own its good

...

What mod?
Also is there a Gothic I equivalent of it?

every time i try and load it it doesn't boot properly and says it is running as background task

DX11 and L'hiver vanilla edition

There is a DX11 mod for Gothic 1 as well

install the patches

be real with me, how many hours have you played and how many threads have you made gothicposter

Cheers

thanks senpai

Morrowind
/thread/ seriously

3 is worse than 2, but it's still better than Oblivion. It has some pretty entertaining systems which allow you to do things like completely wipe entire settlements by leading giant monstrosities out of caves. It also allows you to ally yourself with any faction, including the de facto bad guys. The open world environment is fun to explore and is, general, miles ahead of Oblivion's copy/pasted greenery+cave systems.

My biggest gripe is the absolute shit combat system coupled with iffy balance and optimization, though I've heard that the fan patch improves things considerably in that regard.
