Why can't they recapture the magic of Gothic 2 NOTR?

nice UVs on that bridge bro

1. Few companies are trying
2. A lot of the few ones that try seem to be unaware with what made it great to begin with, including Pyranha Bytes.

ironically, it was a bunch of polish modders who made Archolos, who truly got it and made an amazing Gothic game.

>all those mods
>still no overhaul mod that brings back Gothic 1's damage scaling (crits are retarded) or gives monsters magic runes - imagine swamp snakes using Water Cannon
Absolute state

didn't that guy die in the ukraine war?

The game doesn't need mods. It's perfect the way it is, with NOTR. If you don't like it it means you have shit taste. Source: someone who finished it 50+ times

>>716423717
No, he became the king of Mortana, you fucking ape

First one is better

>50+ times
As if that's impressive, you can do it in 10 minutes

>>716421574 (OP)
should i play this in orginal german to learn the language?

>>716424286
nah...too short/simple/janky/small-scaled
>>716424548
i didn't do it in 10 minutes though, i did 50+ full playthroughs where i did every possible thing available without cheating/hacking/exploiting.

>>716424728
youre not going to learn german by playing gothic

>>716421574 (OP)
Because the company is gone now

Archolos good

Verlass dich auf jemanden und du bist Verlassen.

>>716421574 (OP)
But they did.

>>716422845
You see, that part of the bridge is made of magically stretched rocks, that's why it looks like that.

Archolos plot is convoluted mess full of plotholes
Plus they turned my boy Scar into a pussy that cannot even bang whores at the brothel

>>716423659
Damage formula in G1 was retarded
It made 1 handed swords obsolete
>gives monsters magic runes - imagine swamp snakes using Water Cannon
Funnily enough dragons in Gothic 2 do use magic runes when they throw fireballs at you

>>716421574 (OP)
I got filtered by Gothic 1's weird controls. Which gothic games can I use my mouse like normal or a controller?

>>716427739
gothic

>>716427739
try playing it with keyboard only(using arrows for turning and walking forward/back) that's the only way I always play
it is a little weird with mouse and keyboard

>>716423914
I'm not a big fan of NOTR, because it goes too hard into "You have to use everything at your disposal to survive" school of RPG's. Vanilla Gothic 2 is a lot more chill. I do love the NOTR content though.

>>716430518
vanilla gothic 2 is too fucking easy, it's easier than skyrim.

>>716427739
There's nothing weird about its controls. Hold down control to declare that you are "performing an action". Then with keys you direct which way that action goes.

>>716430625
NOTR goes too hard in the opposite direction where you get oneshot by fucking everything, to the point that wearing armor is just fucking pointless because everything deals so much damage if you get hit you're going to die anyway. And you don't play Gothic games for their "difficulty" either, difficulty in RPG games is a fucking meme, they're not character action games. You will eventually be able to break the game, the only difference is just how much shit you will have to collect and how much time you will have to spend running around killing everything.

>It's perfect the way it is, with NOTR. If you don't like it it means you have shit taste.
Wouldn't play it with such mods either but it crushes your balls a bit too much for my taste if you don't level your weapon skill at the start, which happens easily if you don't know what you're doing.

literal skill issue. dont be picking fights with orcs at level 2

>>716426198
When the fuck are they going to drop the Mod of The Decade Edition aka 2.0?

>>716431773
>dont be picking fights with orcs at level 2
skill issue
You can beat an orc at level 1 by using a wooden stick

>>716432528
tehn dont complain when u get 1shot while whittling down each individual point of hp

>>716432498
never it's cancelled

i swear i think archolos modder broke their game or something

>>716432609
Don't even joke about that, it's a serious matter

>>716425096
the first one is all about the atmopshere and immersion quite literally

>>716432596
I am not complaining
But it is true that NoTR difficulty is really unforgiving for new players
The addon targets players who are already familiar with original gothic 1 / vanilla gothic 2 which are way more beginner friendly
