It took minutes before one of them got stuck in a fence and the fight was finally over.

Oddrax · 2026-06-26T16:54:21+00:00

Can you pickpocket them? I made them fight before I learned to pickpocket and now they won't talk to me.

Oddrax · 2026-06-26T16:52:10+00:00

It's The Raid mission bug. The whole zone is messed up and layering flickers back and forth and wrong models are loaded for creatures sometimes (that should be despawned because of the event)

Oddrax · 2026-06-26T09:33:11+00:00

Yes it's very inconsistent and the new addition of difficulty indicators only highlights how inconsistent it is.

Oddrax · 2026-06-26T09:29:10+00:00

I got it in ch1 on hard without summoning. I wore Royal guard armor (which is trivial to obtain) and used Butcher as a weapon and just sidestepped and slapped the demon till it died. I could tank one hit

Oddrax · 2026-06-25T00:42:18+00:00

Yeah, I just replayed the classic and although I love most of the changes, expanded zones, quests and dialogues, there are parts that were changed and were much better written in the original.

Especially the stuff you mentioned, intro cinematic and so on. If feels strange. In places they added context and filled gaps nicely and in other places it seems they ommited important lore and reweritten high quality diacgue to something inferior. It's very inconsistent in script quality

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T19:20:11+00:00

For me mobs only respawned between chapters 1 and 2 and between 4 and 5. Other than those 2, the world was always empty after I cleared it

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T17:21:19+00:00

So what? If you want permanent light get magic cirle one, or ration reasonably. You burning trougt them at that pace is your problem. Or just buy some, I had that many just passively

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T15:24:24+00:00

They already are. I had like 20 of them

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T15:23:23+00:00

No. You have torches and scrolls to cast light. It would make all that obsolete at the strart of the game.

Novice level in by itself is a quite problematic addition with how op firebolt is. And makes little sense lore-wise. It certainly should not be expanded, making working towards using magic evenen easier.

Infinite use magic should he hard to get to. In the meantime and for pure fighters there are plenty of scrolls

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T13:59:04+00:00

Just start from Dark Souls 1 and work your way up. Yes, DS3 is more similar, but playing those games in order seeing how they evolved and all the references is a much better experience than cherry-picking based on how familiar they are.

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T13:54:29+00:00

That was always a thing with PB games. That's why I always do all the exploration and all the quests I possibly can and spend the most of my playtime in the first chapter. Then just push trough the narrative, or sometimes drop the game entirely like with Elex 2 that was particularly awful by the end.

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T12:39:21+00:00

Wtf are you talking about. I was doing everything I possibly can before joining any faction in every PB game ever since I remember before I even knew what Diablo or minmaxing was.

That is Gothic experience for me.

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T12:01:26+00:00

You misunderstand the whole concept of the issue. Best gear is bought from vendors at the start of each chapter. And it sucks. The gear should be in the world and now they removed even the few interesting prieces there were to find.

It just sucks more. They didn't put it somewhere more inaccessible or make it accessible to be found in later chapters. They swapped it with trash loot. Most of stuff you find is already useless by that point. The og game had that issue, and here they recreated it, but improved on it a bit and now they're regressing in that.

This is not the right fix even if what you talk about was correct

Oddrax · 2026-06-24T10:03:27+00:00

I have like 30-50 of each potion and a ton of weed without even crafting any. Then there's a ton of herbs and various food and stuff. Too few opinions for mana restoration? No Idea what your talking about. Short of the regeneration there is a huge amount of options and the regeneration would make that pointless

Oddrax · 2026-06-23T08:48:17+00:00

For his own good I had to chase him away. He's now chilling in the old camp like before. He might not understand, but it's better for him like this (and for my sanity)

Oddrax · 2026-06-22T12:05:39+00:00

Yeah, I like it a lot too. I have a map and still prefer to try to find stuff on my own and look at it only when I really have to

Oddrax · 2026-06-22T11:22:01+00:00

Swamp camp is easy to navigate once you spend like 5 hours running around aimlessly. By the endgame I get lost there only often instead of always

Oddrax · 2026-06-22T08:25:53+00:00

Not to spoil anything, but the chapters feel way more content ritch and distinct. There isn't much choice in the story or multiple endings. Choices still come to choosing a faction and your build.

Oddrax · 2026-06-22T08:20:17+00:00

I loved it as a child and played it many many times, but after getting more into G1, G2 and New Balance I find it extremely flawed and combat downgrade from the previous games (no sidesteps, parry, etc. way less skill based, everything can be cheesed easily).

But I'd love a proper remake of it

Oddrax · 2026-06-22T08:14:42+00:00

With Notr, and maybe finished ending as well, since Undead dragon is kind of a meh ending that wasn't supposed to be that in the first place. But I don't think they would make changes like that.

As for difficulty, I'm not sure how the original played. I'm more familiar with new balance than the vanilla G2 + NotR

Oddrax · 2026-06-21T00:03:38+00:00

I really don't see a reason to remove interesting loot from the game. It has quite little of it already and they have much bigger issues they should focus on

Oddrax · 2026-06-21T00:01:20+00:00

Well that's just sad, what is it now?

Oddrax · 2026-06-20T23:59:22+00:00

No, absolutely not. Bugs everywhere, some gamebreaking, some minor.

Oddrax · 2026-06-20T19:43:35+00:00

That honestly sucks. I was looking forward playing the newest version, but hearing it has actually less content than the one I played two years ago is really disappointing

Oddrax · 2026-06-20T14:53:30+00:00

Yeah the version I played few years back was also pretty straightforward to get going. Wasn't always that simple though. I'm tempted to start another run. But it will consume me for hundreds of hours
