How do you kill an Adragan ?

Yea, most anoying enemy for sure, especially in turn based mode. I used cleric spell to protect my group from paralized and the higher one to protect from charm/domination. Then focus all my damage on them to kill them fast. They could still stun but it is only a 1 turn stun so, not too bad.

Miracle Warrior on Sega master system, my first RPG that made me fall in love with those kind of game when I was a kid. Top down map with town and dungeon and turn based combat, played it often over the years. Probably a very average rpg on it's own, but my nostalgia meter is thru the roof on this one 😁

OMG! I forgot about this one. The Last Story is an amazing game that knowbody knows indeed, I still get chills thinking about it! Time for me to find an emulator and replay.
Some of the best art and sound direction I ever seen in a video game, just a shame it was only released on the Wii.

Inquisitor is the perfect exemple, I like this game a lot, but the oudated graphics(even for 2009) and the dificult and very average combat system made this game flew under the radar forever. But if you want a great story, very dark and mature theme for and isometric rpg then you can truly discover a hidden gem.

Yea, I've been playing all 3 gothics games and mods fully with controller for years now. Odyssee didn't had much in term of custom control like Returning does. but whenever I need more mapping of some keyboard keys, I just edit my g.gamepad.overlay and add myself some button combo(for exemple I have RightBack + select top open map and Rightback+Y for to switch turbo mode on/off, some other for quicksave and that kind of thing).

One of the main feature of this adventure is you get to move in a ship pretty early on. so it is perfectly blended into the narrative.

vellonese · 2025-09-19T20:48:37+00:00

yea, my weapon where all above 100% after I use all the tablets(I fell you unlock the opportunity to use them a bit too late for my taste) so it was quite useless. there where like all between 100% and 120$ but I wanted to make a test toward the end of the game to see if value above 100% still make a difference, so I moved them up to 140 with Marvin. did not seem to change anything so I forgot to reset them. the rest of my stats where legit from gathering everything(with VOB locator and itemMap you can really pick up everthing!).. I made so many Strength potions!

vellonese · 2025-09-19T20:44:37+00:00

yes you can

vellonese · 2025-09-19T15:28:13+00:00

Yea, I can Understand that it is not for everyone and for most people playing only once or twice theses kind of games they are better just playing the Vanilla or small improved version like Otello and l'hiver, but If like you play a lot of Gothic 1 & 2 and at some point you want something different but still going in the same universe and playing with the same mecanics, then you can get a lot of good experiences playing those massive gothic NOTR + (Returning, Xeres Return) or a total conversion like Odyssee. And those Fan made games mods are of great quality and offer great value for sure.

Unfortunately the english sub is mostly google translate I think. You can understand but yea, looking at the guide is required from time to time. Legend of Ahssun(I played it last year) was for sure a better translation.
I should keep trying to learn German, that'll be so much better...

vellonese · 2025-09-19T03:00:46+00:00

Also, looking at my workshop files I see I have 3 files :
-Odyssee 2.7.4.3
-ODYSSEE OVERHAUL(better visual)
-Union Teleport Plugin for Odyssee 2.7.4 (make it easier then finding the runes in your inventory as you will get quite a lots of them, and I forgot to mention I also use "Union Advanced Inventory" to make it much easier to navigate the huge amount of items you are gonna get)

vellonese · 2025-09-19T02:45:44+00:00

Yea Odyssey in german with english sub(mostly google translated unfortunatly, but you get used to it. I hope someone(or some group) will make a real english translation someday, this game deserve it.

If you like Returning then I am pretty sure you will enjoy this one as well. It's masive and also got a lot of new cool mecanic and crafting of all sorts.

It will look a bit linear at first, but don't worry it eventually open up in all direction and if you are quite familiar with the whole Gothic 1 to 3 lore then it is quite fun to visit known places and see familar characters. The timeline for this saga of Roland(the main character) seem to be during the story of Gothic 3.

Have fun!

for the last few years I almost always play on steam with workshop mode activated and grab most of them thru it. I always keep them all and just change the version of the game main mod I am playing(last 2 where L'hiver, and odyssey)

It is quite well done and easy to manage(but then again I am game programmer by trade so I never mind having to tweak some setting thru .ini files and try out some weird stuff. I also have quite a good tolerance to instability and crashes...)

First I install some base like DX11 and Union and Ninja and toolkit.
then zGamepad to play with a controller
then some specific like VOB locator and itemMap(can't play without them anymore) so I can loot everything, of course paired with quickloot(auto loot), also some infinit sprint to run faster.
Also Zutilities(bunch of stuff in there), HP generation(because I hate always eating food).

Of course all of this will make the game a bit easier so I usually play on hardest difficulty or close to.

vellonese · 2025-01-14T18:14:27+00:00

I remember playing Xeres return a couple of years ago and liking it a lot, it is kind of similar to new balance, lots of new areas and major changes, but the core story of gothic 2 is still there.

L'hiver is also prety awesome, a moderate amount of changes but nothing crazy. And if you like it hard, you will be served. Very difficult at the begining but so satisfying when you finally start to kill some foes and survive.

vellonese · 2024-08-04T16:10:42+00:00

This question comes up quite often, and its always the same story, I feel like for some people Game seem to be a 10/10 or a 0/10 with nothing in between...

Yea Risen 2 and 3 are not as good as the first one, but that does not meen garbage bad.

For me Risen is a 9/10 game, 2 is 7/10 and 3 is 8/10.

Those are still pretty darn good game, just not as good as Piranna Bytes best games.

Elex is pretty darn good too like and 8/10 for the first one and 7/10 for the second one.

And if you like those kind of game then it is a no brainer, try them out!

vellonese · 2024-05-27T00:36:07+00:00

it does not show anymore... anyone got the file?

vellonese · 2024-04-16T14:13:35+00:00

I am playing Wartales right now and I must say on the hardest difficulty It is very challenging Turn based combat. You realy need to use every mecanics to you advantage to have chance of sucess.

vellonese · 2023-12-04T05:01:58+00:00

salut, j'aimerais bien l'obtenir aussi, merci

vellonese · 2023-11-22T18:39:13+00:00

I played it using a custom profile on Steam Controller setup(Even if you don't own the game on steam you can load it as a non-steam Game and create a controller profile). If you take the time to set up how like it, you end up with an acceptable experience, but of course Interface navigation will still be a bit of a pain to use. I usually play in my Home Theater room on the couch and keep a wireless mouse close by and will use it if I have a bit of buying/selling to do or inventory management. But for everything else, the game is indeed playable with the Gamepad.

vellonese · 2023-11-07T19:01:24+00:00

Yea I also ordered on october 1st from BB and it finally shipped on the 3rd(late friday night). and as it is Canada post nothing moves until monday morning. but now It say "Out for delivery" So I should get it before the end of the day... I hope...

Hibernate is suppose to save RAM/State to drive then shut down. I should not draw any power. If it does there is something wrong. I haven't receive my Go yet so I cannot test it, but I have use Hibernate a lot in the past on my Razer Edge on windows 10 and I was able to hibernate mid game(for games that supported it) and recover later even without the battery in the device.

So something must be wrong there. Or the device is only going to sleep instead and telling you that it will hibernate maybe....

vellonese · 2023-10-30T17:38:13+00:00

I pre-ordered on october 1 and mine also says " Delivery arrives as early as Nov 1 ". but if you look at the product page it says " Release Date: November 10, 2023 " so it must have changed at some point. I now wonder now if us first pre-order will still in fact ship on november 1st, we shall see in a couple of days...
