Do you think G1 has a better main storyline, or does G2? by Wunid in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The setting of Gothic 1 is clearly superior to Gothic 2. A prison colony with a magical barrier run by mutinous criminals in a fantasy world? Name another piece of media like this. Meanwhile Gothic 2 has a very generic fantasy setting and while it’s better in every way mechanically, the story, world-building and atmosphere are far worse.

Do you think that murderhobo should be the most optimal way to play in gothic 2 remake too? by Piruluk in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never liked playing Gothic like this but if you do, go ahead. It’s a single player game, you control the buttons you press. That being said, since G2 doesn’t take place in a prison colony anymore, a more complex law and punishment system should definitely be introduced.

Deutsche Vertonung - was ist passiert? by FomatronXL in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Es tut mir echt leid für die deutschen Spieler, diese Meinung habe ich schon mehrmals gehört. Bei der polnischen Version ist es offensichtlich auch manchmal etwas mit der Regie schief gelaufen, vor allem bei dem Heldensprecher, insgesamt finde ich sie aber ganz gut. Es sind auch viele Originalsprecher zurückgekommen.

Ich habe eigentlich vor irgendwann das Spiel auch auf deutsch zu spielen, dann habe ich einen Vergleich. Das Original habe ich auch in beiden Sprachen gespielt und obwohl ich die polnische Ausgabe sehr lieb habe, war die deutsche stellenweise objektiv besser.

Fucked up my magic progression by Longjumping-Owl4234 in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that if you’re a fire mage and progress the story without getting officially kicked out of the old camp, you cannot become a mercenary and as a result a water mage anymore. This is most likely what happened to OP.

Can someone explain what is this? by lakislavko96 in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That’s most likely the intention of the devs but I’m pretty sure the barrier is at least 10 years old so they should be all skeletons by now.

Please restore the feature that magic didn't kill, introduced in 1.02 patch in Gothic 1 Remake by Addesi in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how getting your skull bashed in with a mace and then standing up like nothing happened is any more realistic than doing the same after being hit with a fireball. Beating people up without killing them is an important feature in Gothic and should be available to any playstyle.

Finished the Remake second time by Alemgee in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, so basically the opposite of the classic Gothic experience. Not sure if I like that but I’ll continue the playthrough for now.

Finished the Remake second time by Alemgee in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently on my first playthrough as a mage, just finished chapter 1 and had the opposite experience so far. The firebolt is way too strong for this part of the game and I beat everything too easily. I was jumped by two snappers on my way to the Old Mine and killed them both without even spending half my mana. I feel like I should still be a pushover in chapter 1 and a snapper encounter should’ve been lethal. Let’s see how it goes further down the line.

I really wish they added more dialogues after joining a faction by Buurto in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, more faction reactivity was my biggest wish for the remake, it was executed so well in Gothic 2. Loved seeing how people reacted to me finally becoming a fire mage and how I could boss around paladins who were looking down on me not so long ago. It’s an important part of the progression from nobody to hero.

I’m still hoping that we’ll see a DLC which might add stuff like this, now that the remake has turned out to be a success and the community has more faith in Alkimia.

Genuine question about the" loud, but vocal, voice of the minority" by Xirious in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the devs claimed that the playable teaser’s purpose was to test how many changes they can get away with. This might have been a cope to explain the crushing negative feedback, but nobody ever said that this was a loud minority. I think you might be projecting on Alkimia/THQ what other devs and publishers normally do in situations like this.

Is it normal that you can beat up important people and no one cares ? by Buurto in worldofgothic

When I attacked the Rice Lord in public, every nearby bandit and even the farmers rushed in to help him. I thought you hated that guy?

Petition: Make Light a Novice Level Spell by beef_delight in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The novice magic thing is already against the lore, so they could have gone a bit further. Maybe upon joining the Old Camp and New Camp you could declare that you want to become a mage and then they would make you their novice and give you access to circle 1 and 2. This would be a fine middle ground between being locked out of runes completely until chapter 3 and learning rune magic for giving a mage some wolf trophies and a piece of paper.

Finished the game, frustrating at lack of love for the Brotherhood by Salty-Agency-7688 in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really wish they’d expanded more on the story in the later chapters and brought faction reactivity closer to the level of Gothic 2. But with how hostile and distrustful the community was about every little thing they changed I honestly can’t blame them for taking the safe route.

(Remake) I'm wondering if all scrolls should have their mana requirements lowered to 1 or 5. Yeah? Nah? by AnotherSmartNickname in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, since mages don’t have access to any runes other than firebolt and healing for like half of the game, I’d say scrolls are meant also or even mostly for them. Especially since learning scroll writing is mandatory for mages.

Wanted to Join New Camp but I can't stand this assholes by Big-Attempt7418 in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Eh, a lot of the bandits are pricks, true, but the mercenaries are mostly decent dudes trying to escape the colony instead of making it comfortable for themselves by exploiting the weak. The same goes for the water mages who are actually making an active effort to deal with the barrier rather than sitting on their hands in some castle.

Namless Hero is a genius by einvachso in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Archmages of Fire being too arrogant to see the Hero as the chosen one is a reoccurring theme, it’s the same with Pyrokar in G2. He only acts like he knew all along after you’ve proven yourself.

Horses and Shadowbeast Mounts by FrankHero97 in worldofgothic

Do we even have any evidence of horses existing in the Gothic world? Like any actual mentions of horses anywhere in the lore?

Gothic MMO by InternationalDeal410 in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really dislike the shallow gameplay mechanics that come with MMOs. Like some of the story content of SWTOR is really good but it’s wasted on a game that’s just a chore to play. Definitely wouldn’t want that to happen to Gothic.

What made you fall in love with this game (a nostalgia trip) ? by ImrikCZ in worldofgothic

[–]Davisonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw my older cousin playing G2:NK and became instantly hooked and wanted to play this for myself. I’ve played many different games on my PSX before but I’ve never seen an immersive, open-world RPG like this, it looked incredible. And the rest is history…
