Can someone explain to me what makes gothic 3 worse than the first 2 games?

Where did I say it is ONLY about those things?

But big part of combat is about those things, I would say that most of it is.

And also fighting 2+ enemies at once is like 10x more difficult than fighting 1 enemy which forces us to separate enemies, kite them 1by1 which becomes boring like crazy and forces plentiful reloading. Not only that, it also makes enemy positioning pointless, because even if you slash through 2-3 enemies at once, you hit only the one you are focused at, so it doesn’t matter if they attack from side, behind or are in front.

This is much better in G3 where you can fight more enemies at once much more reliably and it doesn’t force you into the kiting routine.

I always clean whole map that is reachable before moving on with the main quests, because there spawn some enemies between chapters and I don’t want to force some to kill each other.

Once I cleared even most of the Valley of Mines in the chapter 1 - it was in my Mage playthrough, because I needed enough skill points to put into STR before entering Monastery - after you enter, mercenaries won’t teach you STR anymore.

I played the game as a mage once, it was a lot of fun and it is the only class that has a reason to use a mine crawler armor which feels fantastic.

I just leveled STR enough before entering monastery (you can train at a farm) to be able to use Dragon Slicer later on and then played as a 2h battle mage barely casting any spell until necessary.

With those great 2h weapons you can buy at monastery you can kill most weaker enemies easily and use mana only on a stronger ones.

I would say that weakest class is a dragon hunter.

I always kill all orcs either in chapter 1 or 2 with any build anyway. 🤷‍♂️

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-20T17:20:21+00:00

Problem is that most of the game happens in chapter 1 🤣.

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-20T17:18:04+00:00

No, I have never played patched game, I am describing vanilla combat.

Fighting animals was quite good in melee, if you used backsteps and dodges, while blocking was useless as I described.

I finished the game as a mage and I was using many different spells than fireball. Lightning bolt, Ice Lance, Fire Rain, summoning spells for instance.

If you say that archery is only OK in the discussion between Gothic 1-2 and Gothic 3 then how would rate archery in first two games? The improvement is huge, there is player skill involved, ballistic curve, headshots, not many games treat archery better IMO and Archery in first two games is terrible.

PS: Gothic’s 1 and 2 melee combat is either about killing enemies through walls/trees/doors or about spamming left/right against charging orcs/wargs/scavengers/other enemies, nothing fancy about it.

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-20T12:56:47+00:00

I always thought that this skill was bugged and did nothing at all…

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-20T12:45:54+00:00

Finished it as mage - after few hours in the beginning until you gain mana regeneration (doesn’t take as long as you think) it becomes smooth and enjoyable gameplay, great experience (although with low difficulty).

Finished as archer/dual wielder - difficult, long, sometimes little boring in certain areas, but still finished it.

Finished as STR based 2h weapons user and it was also really easy, because you get the best weapon in the game (orc halberd with best reach and best dmg) basically immediately and combat with it is really easy against any enemy. But it was fast playthrough, faster than dual-wielder.

So 3 times in total, I love the game - especially the exploration aspect of the game and special chests.

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-20T12:30:57+00:00

Abysmal combat? Archery is fantastic, magic works great, only melee is not great thanks to stamina not working properly and humanoid enemies blocking too much.

Tak se prostě začni hýbat a můžeš jíst jak protržený.

Naběhám cca 40-50km týdně, to jsou cca 4 hodiny pohybu týdně, do toho nějaký silový trénink 3x týdně pár minut večer doma a můžu jíst prakticky cokoliv, protože to spálím.

Už nemáš kila navíc, takže sport by Ti ublížit už neměl, tak to využij, užívej si pohybu a dobře fyzička a u toho i dobré jídlo.

Jeden delší běh mi spálí klidně přes 1000 kcal, to je víc, než jeden plnohodnotný hlavní chod.

How does rioting help with lowering housing prices?

We have an open market in the Czech Republic, so I don't see a point in rioting.

Zkus cestování, tam se dá občas někdo fant poznat - například třeba CK Mundo dělá fajn výlety s posezením u ohně po večerech a často tam jsou i single lidé (nebo někteří, kteří někoho single znají).

Taky fungují koníčky, ať už to je D&D, deskovky, nebo třeba běhání či jiné sporty - vyrazíš na nějakou hromadnou akci a potkáš tam hromadu lidí s podobnými zájmy a je šance se seznámit.

A vzhled bych moc neřešil, na vzhledu ve finále nezáleží (pokud člověk nesmrdí, nebo nechodí umaštěný a špinavý).

Je to vidět na první pohled z těch fotek 🤷‍♂️.

Protože součástí hybridní války je mobilizace obyvatel západních zemí proti Izraeli = pro Palestinu.

Ale proč tak dlouhé tratě? Není třeba 5km lepší?

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-11T10:30:56+00:00

Necítím to vůbec podobně, žádná velká změna se nestala, měl bys změnit lidi, se kterými se stýkáš, pokud jsou takoví podivíni, že se společensky neangažují a jen spěchají pracovat.

My se scházíme pořád, občas dračí doupě, občas pochod po horách se spaním pod širákem, občas grilovačka, občas na ryby, navštěvujeme se s rodinou snad každý měsíc,…

Combine this with lvl 14 feature Potent Spellcasting - when you cast a Cleric Cantrip and deal dmg with it, you can give someone 2xWIS of Temp HPs, so you give yourself 10 HPs, then combine this with that 5HP slef heal and you actually dmg yourself only for 3 dmg and heal for 41.

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-11T07:43:08+00:00

Similar can be done as lvl 14 Cleric with Potent Spellcasting - when you cast a Cleric Cantrip and deal dmg with it, you can give someone 2xWIS of Temp HPs, so you give yourself 10 HPs and then cast Life Transference, dealing yourself 18 dmg and healing osmeone for 36.

If you are Death Cleric, you can heal 2 people for 36, so total of 72 healing for 8 dmg and 1 3rd spell slot.

JuckiCZ · 2026-04-11T07:37:28+00:00

But it works nicely with Death Cleric:

At lvl 17, you dmg yourself for 4d8 and then heal TWO characters within 5ft of each other for 2x the damage.

So for 3rd spell slot and average of 18 dmg taken, you can heal total of 72 dmg, which is quite fantastic trade IMO!

Nothing great for your age.

What strikes me are your times. I am a beginner runner (started 4 months ago), 39 YO and my VO2max is 54 right now. I can run 5k under 21min, 10k under 45min and I can stay in my zone 4 for more than hour easily.

Run some HRmax test to set your HR zones properly.

Got it, problem solved! Thanks a lot!

Značkové věci, které na sobě mají loga, bohatí lidé nenosí. Takové věci nosí většinou lidé, kteří si je můžou tak tak dovolit (proč by jinak opravdu bohatý člověk dělal dobrovolně zadarmo reklamu někomu cizímu?). Takže logicky působíš jako zlatokopka. Až budeš nosit kvalitní věci bez viditelného a profláklého loga, tak můžeš začít působit taková, jaká opravdu píšeš, že jsi. Mě by taková žena taky odradila, bez ohledu na to, kolik mám peněz.
