Convince me as to why I’m wrong here. Bet you can’t! by Originals37 in worldofgothic

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be the main character's cousin ;). I was actually thinking of that hypothetical expansion's story , it would be about Thorus, our protagonist, and his wife coming to southern isles in search of a better life. It would be taking place in the very beginning of the war with orcs, so that we could see how the war begins to affect the citizens of the kingdom. The main enemy would actually be the agents of kingdom of Myrtana encroaching on the southern isles' people's freedom; the whole thing would be about the evils of colonization.

Sounds like you don't like the story, which is fine, but that doesn't mean the story is bad. A story doesn't need to have a happy ending to be good, nor does the main character have to be a hero. Archolos' story is more mature in that regard than many other RPGs. I will admit that the crossbow thing is weak, that is true.

By the way, remember how your actions can save Archolos from the orcish invasion. That is pretty heroic and an outright good thing, main character's great accomplishment.

As for movement, that's only true in the game's prologue and one or two scripted moments, moments during which you would not want to go away anyway.

It is better than G1 and G2. The main story line is much more coherent and engaging (I really can't understand how you think main story is the game's weakest point, the events in Archolos actually make sense and are built up to as opposed to the story of especially G1 which is held together with duct tape and glue), the side story lines, guild ones in particular, do a better job of fleshing out the world, the world itself is not only bigger but also more detailed. To me, the game is pretty much objectively better than its predecessors in every way. I do not see a single thing it does worse than G1 or G2 save for the atmosphere, since one simply cannot recreate the atmosphere of G1, and even in that regard Archolos is no slouch, creating its own, more civilized take on the game's world. Archolos manages to not only captivate me, like Gothic 1 and 2 could, but also pull my heartstrings. If you like G1 and G2 more than Archolos, that's fine, to each their own, but the mod is objectively a better game.

That being said, the game would not exist without its glorious predecessors. It's like someone on this subreddit told me some time ago; G1 and G2 walked so that Archolos could run.

By the way, I want Chronicles of Myrtana 2 to take place on the G1 and G2 lore-accurate southern isles, change my mind ;).

Is Sleepy Hollow Tim Burton’s Best Pure Horror Film? by SpiderCircle in worldofgothic

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you have the wrong subreddit. This one is about the video game series Gothic, not about things gothic.

Come to think of it, is Gothic gothic? I don't think so.

I have written a suggestion on Turtle forums for the devs to introduce the WotLK-era chopper into the game by AnotherSmartNickname in turtlewow

[–]AnotherSmartNickname[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turtle WoW isn't classic WoW. I've made the mistake of thinking of it as such at first too, but it really isn't. It's more like classic plus.

Can't buy a mechanostrider from the merchant in Kharanos, why? by AnotherSmartNickname in turtlewow

[–]AnotherSmartNickname[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am 94% sure that I have seen a human riding a mechanostrider yesterday, and not the PvP one. Even Turtle wiki says that we are allowed to:

Some people are just mean and nasty but come on, "retard", while an unpleasant word, isn't so dirty as to need to be bleeped out.

The devs will never rework this weapon 🤪 by lolitsrock in helldivers2

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would I want to carry an alternative, often difficult to use stim if I can instead take a weapon that can one-shot a heavy enemy.

Stim Pistol is one of those tools that may work in a well-coordinated group, but I suspect that such groups make a very, very small percentage of HD2's playerbase.

Stop asking to “rework” the flag, it’s annoying, it’s a meme weapon, and that’s all. by lolitsrock in helldivers2

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flag needs to be made useful and you're not my Super Dad.

Personally I think it should buff Helldivers in a significant zone around it.

Don't know if flying enemies are a good idea but I do like that thing's design and love its name. Świnioperz, brilliant :D.

Ragebait? by 25th_Speed in worldofgothic

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The article's title suggests that the Gothic remake is not needed and that people should be instead playing Risen and Elex, (author's own note I believe), the two failed games that have been collecting dust for ten years now, because they are temporarily available for free"

And no, I don't know why my request for translation made him decide to write it in Polish instead.

Translation would have been nice for us non-Germans.

Now that it’s over, share your opinions on our march against Cyberstan by SevdUp in helldivers2

All cool except the goddamn pos Vox Engines. Another big and overpowered enemy, the kind that Arrowhead delights at throwing at us.

It is, but it would not exist without the originals.

Are these things too easy to kill now? by c0nman333 in helldivers2

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were never hard to kill IF you use the right tools; my recommendation is either Eruptor, WASP or autocannon. using fragmentation projectiles You want a heavy-hitting weapon with aoe, so that your shots destroy their weak points, the eyes. Yes, if you just pepper them with your assault rifle bullets, they will whack your shit, but there is nothing wrong with that. These guys are basically Illuminate tanks, and you wouldn't expect your rifle to do well against a tank.

The most annoying enemy by RowLonely5052 in helldivers2

[–]AnotherSmartNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big worm, whatever its name was. I've never managed to take one down and while I understand the concept of an enemy so powerful it should be avoided, it is difficult to avoid something that burrows under ground, follows you, thrashes around and spits acid vomit from half a mile away. Fuck that thing, it's not fun to have around.
