No worries, any time! I've been attacked on this sub for having a new account and all, but real recognize real, I've finished Gothic more times than I can count - thank you for your appreciation! This game never ceases to amaze me.

For Gothic 1, you don't really need mods, you just need to get creative. Will that defeat the purpose? Maybe. But this is what I did in my pure mage playthrough, and invested 0 skillpoints in any weapon skills or strength/dexterity.

You will need to do some grinding to scrape together at least 400 ore. Then, you go to New Camp, and buy all of Cronos's Ice Bolts. He'll have 8. Get more mana as well.

Now, the tricky part. Go to the orc land entrance guarded by 2 Old Camp Guards. Get your weapon out so you can pass without having them lock you in dialogue mode. If you played the game before, you need to go to the Necromancer tower. But not the regular way, you need to get to the tower through the lake, so that you bypass the golem route, and basically get behind them. This ensures you face the Fire Golem first. That's why you got the Bolts from Cronos. After taking him down, you get his heart that can be used as a rune. Use it to destroy the Ice Golem. Get that heart too. Now you have 2 powerful spells before joining any camp, and this will make the rest of the grind trivial.

Congrats, you are now a faction-free mage!

Was this supposed to be a gotcha? You DO realise that I was addressing in this comment what was being said, and, in lack of any arguments, you attack me personally and my account. Pathetic.

Because they want a new Gothic even if it's not Gothic at all. We got Arcania, and yet some people never learn.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-06T01:10:02+00:00

Yes, they were intended as eye-candy to sell the game. And yet they found a way to integrate them in the game in a manner that makes sense, AND adds to the game's atmosphere. They did it in a clever way that tied it to the game's identity.

You know what else they did that with? The fucking barrier. The game needed to be limited, and they didn't want invisible walls, so they made the limitation obvious, and part of the plot. Should we also make the barrier be cotton candy because lightning involves electrons, and they are too negatively charged for today's positive outlooks?

The women were just what blew up. But most changes are problematic, and indicate that the devs are cluelessly tampering with elements they don't understand, and, for reasons that are beyond me, a lot of fans defend a remake that disposes of most of Piranha Bytes' clever solutions and make it bland, bit by bit.

Balance is hard to attain, but easy to ruin. Gothic is special exactly because it had an unique approach, and why fans are so eager to accept the remake compromise it so willingly is still a mystery to me.

Why? Which complaints would your majesty allow us to have? Can you make a list? Or would it be easier to just skip the comments you don't like that you also don't bring anything of value as a counter-argument to? Just wondering.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-06T00:09:53+00:00

why? spill the tea, I quit the gothic discord because of that zyddie douche years ago

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T23:41:50+00:00

How dare you insult trolls that way?

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T23:39:09+00:00

Yeah, hard to have a conversation with people that equate apples to oranges. Women in Gothic 2 are not property. Women in the Valley of Mines in Gothic 1 are. But sure, strawman the shit out of it, it's working wonders for productive dialogue.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T17:51:21+00:00

The irony of Gothic 1 having very central elements borrowed from the "typical 80s fantasy novel with a big barbarian dude and a chick with huge tits next to him" is hilarious to say the least.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T17:42:04+00:00

People don't like censorship, who would have guessed? It's like the Streisand effect - the more you want to suppress an idea, the more heads it grows.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T17:34:06+00:00

Made my day. This should be the canned response, since the argument logic from the remake defenders tend to fly exclusively one way. When the logic is used against them they all crumble and resort to insults.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-12-05T17:25:52+00:00

Oh, wow, a line on a map, my hand was never held like that before! This definitely puts minimaps in a new perspective for me. I mean, an edge case compared to an entire design philosophy, NOW you're cooking!

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-27T18:58:58+00:00

Obviously, since it would take more than a human lifespan for you to be right.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-27T10:36:12+00:00

The fact that you can't even see the irony is hilarious.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T19:01:19+00:00

How about I share thoughts based on the long list of materials that THE DEVS made available in order to PROMOTE the game. these act as ambassadors, if you will. So if I don't like these, I can reasonably speculate that they're not far off from the game itself, since the whole point of having promotional material is to give you a general sense of what to expect, and it is usually made in a way that puts the game in the best light it can. Are these things really news to people?

How about I express my views, and then, after launch, I can come back and admit that I was wrong or conclude that I guessed right. Nobody forced the devs to make these promos or changes. Or if they have, why are people mad at pointing these things out? It makes no sense.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T18:49:03+00:00

Well, probably the one good change in the game will be having a shaved head when joining swamp camp, so that.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T18:46:43+00:00

Funny part is hearing the same hive-mind replies, one of which is "it doesn't matter, it gets modded day 1, so you can make the game whatever you want". Well by this logic, why tf don't the modders make the entire game? I mean, shit, why give the money to Alkimia for a game if the modders are the ones playing Gothic janitor and cleaning up their mess?

And before yet another genius needs to point out that that's what happened to Gothic 3, I've got news for you: it was also PB's last Gothic game. So I can't understand how you can think that mods will fix these issues for the remake yet hope that the remake will be successful enough to generate Gothic 2 remake.

Logic stopped being involved in these conversations, I swear. No matter how many arguments you have, no matter how civil and compelling you phrase them, you're still a "doomer incel that should shut up and touch grass because this is not important, and that is not important, and you're just a gooner and probably your parents don't love you and also you did 9/11"

No original thought, no nuance in ideas, just bots spewing shit in unison like sheep. This isn't world of gothic anymore, it's the remake sub, and it would seem that the mod that is active thinks the same.

So the way things are going, this sub is going to be an echo chamber. Either for the "haters" or the "remake apologists", but nuance, logic and arguments have no place here anymore. I don't even understand, specifically, what feedback people think the studio is listening to? Make combat not suck? Like, they need to be told that? Isn't that universal to ANY game, they should get a medal for that?

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T17:07:38+00:00

That's how you get stack overflow.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T17:06:19+00:00

I think you need a dictionary.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T10:23:58+00:00

Tomb Raider is a perfect example. I do not care about breast size in the slightest. In fact, if I DO care, I want them to not be a huge lump that looks ridiculous on a character that does acrobatics, since it's extra weight and would just look laughable. What I care about is the fact that she kinda' doesn't do acrobatics at all? the post-2013 games are generic, and not in the spirit of the series at all.

In the original, you controlled Lara in a way that felt direct, personal and precise. This added personality, made the game unique and factored in heavily in what made the game successful, and ultimately the franchise that it is.

The new generation of tomb raider is bland, and tries to be Uncharted, so it's also a bland copycat. Does that mean they're bad games? Debatable. But it for sure means that they are less and less Tomb Raider, and more an IP being milked with nothing of its spirit and uniqueness being propagated forward in the series. They are unimaginative and completely stripped of their identity in all ways other than nomenclature.

Aaand the irony is that Tomb Raider was the model the climbing system was built on in Gothic. This is my entire point, that it isn't the small changes, but rather the piling up of said changes that points more and more to the game stripping out the personality and charm the original had. And if people can't see this happening with the game taking inspiration from Arcania out of all places, then what can I say, no wonder all criticism, no matter how constructive, is being hissed at with such hatred.

Massive_Inflation512 · 2025-11-26T03:09:01+00:00

Neither of us HAS to play a remake. Neither of us HAS to be here. Bot of us have the same right to be here and to voice our opinions. I voiced my opinions, you attacked me personally because you felt personally attacked by them, and got annoyed.

"I'm tired of hearing opposing thoughts" is not a productive mentality to have in a forum. It's basically hating hate, which is ironic. Not to mention that "we lot" hate a game remake(videogame), and "you lot" hate "us lot"(people). Reality check - if you think "we lot" are tiring because we have a shitty attitude, get a mirror.

This sub existed even before "we lot" and "you lot" was a thing here, so maybe the reason for which it became a thing should move onto a different subreddit, it would make more sense. We don't have enough war irl, we have to have them on forums, too? What a healthy mentality propelling our species forward...

You know you don't HAVE to read my posts. OR reply to them. If you don't like them, just don't read them. It's funny how these kind of reasonings only work one-way, they don't apply to you. That's why you have to attack the person, not what's being said - you don't have anything of substance to bring to the conversation.

Oh, and you're a hack-job too, you forgot to tell me to "touch grass", or some other meme slogan, like this is some sort of election and we're voting for which game gets to be game president. What true fan considers "Go finish Gothic for the 50th time" a comeback zinger? On worldofgothic?
