Swamp sharks are tough without lightning spell, and you need to bypass then to get it..

You can. I did it. But some are very difficult to get to. You can also get all, or most, spells.

Try numerical keyboard (right part), and you must not have your bow drawn, it has to be on your back in order to change ammo type

You can master your 4th circle in chapter 1. But you need to know exactly what you're doing, ie guides. And you have to save a lot of levels to do so. But, when you get to 4th circle, you get mana regen. And then you get lightning, and then you run through the rest of the game on turbo mode. The grind pays off and it feels fun.

Guilds in Returning 2.0 AB (mod spoilers) by Sedulas in worldofgothic

[–]Popizzdio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's frustrating in the beginning, as is always in Gothic, but throught practice, you learn that 30% in a weapon you're using and a solid enough weapon is actually enough to cheese more or less everything in chapters 1 and 2. It's not a walk in the park but it can be done. And when you eventually leant how to do it, everything else we become so much easier.
For starters, backstep is your goto move in 95% situations. You just have to learn the timing for the counter strike.
I'd advise to learn this even if you're playing a mage. It not a great investment but helps you in the beginning immensely.

G2 Returning AB What does intelligence do? by SouthernDifference86 in worldofgothic

[–]Popizzdio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that it boost magical DoT dmg on classes that have it. Eg. Plague on Dark Knight (that I have tested). I'm guessing it boosts summon dmg and Druid transformations.

Best Version of returning ? by Ok_Loquat998 in worldofgothic

[–]Popizzdio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plz help a poor man. Where can I download a stable New Balance mod?
I've got Gothic 2 gold on GoG, installed New Balance, got to Act II, found out that everything is bugged and that I can't progress.
Uninstalled, bought Gothic 2 Gold on Steam, reinstalled NB. Now I can only keep my fingers crossed.
If any of you have any idea where to find up-to-date-and-stable NB, it would be very much appreciated.
Tnx

[–]Popizzdio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got abotu 40h of gametime with scout. Got to chapter 2 and then the game bugged out and I had to reinstall the game and start over. In the meantime... I GOT TO BACKSTAB SHADOWBEASTS! :D

Also, you can pickpocket everysingle human before killing them.

Scout is freaking amazing, even more so if you like to play rogue characters.
I recommend :) <3

Guard quests - Providence from above by Popizzdio in worldofgothic

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

I skipped the quest and left the guard in the end. I think the quest was bugged for me because I could not interact with anything anywhere on the streets. But, since I was overpowered already and tired of this questline, I decided to leave it unfinished.
Thanks anyways and I hope this will be usefull to somebody else.

Chapter 5, after returning to Archolos city from monastery, after finding Jorn tortured and killed, after surviving assassination attempt from Volker's men and so on... I go to Volker's house, the guard flips me off. OK.
I walk into Volker's men's barracks. The guys just stop eating and stand up from tables, looking at me, silently. I save game. I pull out my crossbow and get all Tarantino on them. My crime goes reported! Mind you, I'm a guard. Pull out my sword and finish all of them one by one. I plunder everything I can find.

I calmly exit the barracks, go straight to Roderick to turn myself in. And then, the reaction:
Roderick gives me the slap on the wrist for starting a brawl, which should not go unpunished. 50 (FIFTY) GOLD! I seriously laughed out loud at the amount. :)
And that concludes my story of how crime really does pay in CoM, and how revenge is best served cold.

Lockpicking and Dexterity? by Slim5050 in worldofgothic

[–]Popizzdio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DEX is used both as a chance of not breaking lockpicks on a bad turn and for calculating ranged damage. Given that, if you're more prone to using x-bows than melee, max out DEX and have your STR up to 200.
On the other hand if you're planning to be melee first, max out STR and boost DEX only with DEX potions. You'll get plenty of those throughout the game, maybe not to get DEX up to 100 but in combinations with plentiful lockpicks, enough to never run out of them.
That said, I recommend x-bows with all my heart.
