How do I not get my ass kicked by everyone and everything?
>>
By avoiding getting into dangerous situations. Think about it.you are weak piece of shit that even a fly could kill you until you have better gear and train skills.

Don't walk into the forest, specially at night.
Always carry a map.
Smoke swampweed every day.
Talk to people guiding you into their camps, as they will clean the path from animals and you will get experience.
The Old Camp is shit.
Join the Swamp Camp.
>>
Git Gud at the controls that are needlessly complex
>>
>>321624468
ok, thanks

>Smoke swampweed every day.
Is this a joke or does the swampweed do something?
>>
>>321624468
Disregard the stoner, you get a free low-level armor and cheaper training in the New Camp.
Get the 1 Handed training, you will see it changes you from a wolf-fearing peasant to a warrior.

>How do I not get my ass kicked by everyone and everything?

M8, you are going to get your shit pushed in for a while. Just quietly accept it, hold grudges. Then once you get better faction armor, go to town with vengeance.
>>
>>321623981
Have people guide you to both New Camp and Swamp Camp (both near Old Camp Marketplace) and clear your way for free exp, also try pulling as much nearby monsters as possible and run in circles
Do all the non-fighting quests in all 3 camps
Learn 1 handed weapon fighting asap and then some strength
Kill monsters alongside roads to all 3 camps because that's where the most weaker ones are. Try aggroing one at a time
If you can manage to get to the New Camp's Mine (few monsters on the way) then AFAIR there's free armor somewhere (miners pants or something)
DON'T fall for the "Pay me now and I'll help you in the future" scumbags

There's nothing much left you can do except just exploring and training your stats, then finally trying to get into some more serious fights and quests.

is risen better than gothic
>>
>>321626149
No, but Risen 1 is a pretty good RPG.

A better question is why the fuck does Gothic 1 work fine but Gothic 2 won't start at all.

Definitely better than G3, even with the community patch.

>>321626451
Nope, Steam version. I can't get any patches or anything to work either though, I can't imagine the GOG version has some magical fix that isn't otherwise available.
>>
>>321626497
It actually does, steam versions of older games suck major dick. Pirate it and try it first.
>>
>>321626628
I'll probably just straight up pirate the GOG version. I like their service and have bought a few games from them but fuck, I already bought the cocksucker.

You can try installing the dx11 mod along with it's prequisites, and perhaps even the l'hiver edition that goes along with the dx11 mod
I'm not sure if that'll fix the problem you have but it's worth a try, I HAD to buy the steam version to get those mods working and I own Gothic 2 like 5 seperate times now

But yeah, dex mage master race

>>321626149
R1 is certainly better than G3.
Really atmospheric, although simplified compared to Gothic. Monastery and magic training is the best part of the game in my opinion, it really feels like you're studying magic in old as fuck place of learning.
>>
>>321626978
I didn't even know that was a thing, but I imagine that will actually help out since like 90% of issues I've ever run into with older games have had something to do with d3dinsertnumberhere.dll

Jesus fucking christ that looks amazing. This is the kind of game I thought we would have nowadays, same excellent world and art design as games from 15 years ago (because it was a necessity) with the graphics to match.

Instead modern devs are just lazy because no matter what they do, fancy graphics will make it look adequate.

Paladins have a holy purpose, of course they don't go slaughtering dragons like sheep

beginner tip:
very early in the game, you will be asked to go to the ore mine (I think I was at the old camp at the time, but everybody gets sent there afaik)
>go down the mine, all to the bottom
>at the bottom, crawlers will attack
>a templar with a 2handed sword will join the fight
>either he gets killed, or you kill him during the fight
>pick up his sword

congratulations, you now have a strong, 2handed sword that you wouldn't have obtained until at least one or two chapters later in the game
it's a pretty strong weapon even if you haven't learned 2h swords yet
>>
>>321635604
He's right though, in the world of Gothic, it just felt completely natural to have that slutty whore sitting in her bathtub in the nude
Besides it was just a small easter egg, you couldn't reach her without cheating

Nowadays they would crusade to have it removed
>>
>>321635703
That's pretty useless though, don't you need like 50 something STR to wield it?

You'd be better off leveling up one handed to 30% and using the weaker weapons since crit does just that much more damage than actual normal damage

Gothic 3 is an immensely underrated, rough diamond of a game.

With the community patches and some config tweaks, it looks and plays great.

Yeah the combat is simple but Gothic was never about exciting combat. It's more about adventuring and exploring, really.

I recently replayed it, dumped about 20 hours into it and got bored once in Varant. But that's my 3rd time playing it, each time playing around 20 hours but going to a different country. First I did Myrtana, then I did Nordmar, and finally Varant.

Varant was pretty boring unfortunately. Too empty.

>>321638306
They tried with Risens and failed. "Gothic" in game name won't make it better.
>>
>>321638306
The chances are zero.
Risen basically was Gothic and it did a pretty good job at that even if it fell apart a little in the second act.
But with 2 they showed that they're in for the console and casual audience now, also most of the original talented guys have left. They literally hire people from DeviantArt now.

>>321638359
pretty meh in 1
you can go bow/crossbow
1h/2h

and the game kindof forces you to go crossbow/2h in the late game anyway

spells have quite the variety though but nothing extraordinary
>>
>>321638359
Don't go around picking fights, most people will push your shit in early game.
Weapon variety is okay I guess, but don't expect to be changing you go-to sword very often. Magic is kinda shit at low levels but gets fun in the higher circles. If you wanna go full mage, join the old camp. But playing a mage is probably the most difficult way and you should have at least some melee skills.
Save often.
>>
>>321638520

hmm, should I just go right to Gothic 2 or no?
>>
>>321638418
3 is completely devoid of anything that made Gothic good sadly. It really is just a shallow, generic game.
>>
>>321638359
You will not be dissapointed in the terms of magic, but all sword/axes/maces are basically the same, with only difference being damage done. And reach, I guess.
>>321638520
You don't have to go crossbow, but you are 'forced' to use the endgame sword. I should mention it can be turned into a magic rune.
>>321638584
Nah, G1 is still good.

>>321638584

Also 2 starts exactly where 1 left you off and there are tons of reoccurring characters you wouldn't notice else.

On the right side of the castle (compared to where you're looking) you can climb on some hut's roof or something and from there into a hole in the castle and you can steal things worth more than the entire game's other loot combined

It's kinda cheating and the last time I played the game was at launch so I might not be remembering well, it's been what 15 years?
>>
>>321638584
If you want to. But don't start with the addon, the difficulty is brutal if you don't read guides or have beaten the normal G2.

>NotR is difficult
Maybe it was because I've beaten G2 couple times prior playing the game with addon, but it felt pretty much the same jolly experience as original game.
>>
>>321638848
I don't remember anything like that, all I remember is stealing a ton of very expensive things including some teeth that were too expensive to ever sell in bulk

Transformation spell scrolls.

You want to get some free loot and tons of xp? Transform into a strong creature like a snapper and go around the world eating up every lesser creature.

The downside is you need to stay away from people you want to talk to, because they will get pissed and forever attack you if they ever saw you as a monster.

But yeah you can gain a ton of early levels this way.
>>

It's easy enough if you know what you're doing. But I still remember getting my ass pounded by the seeker that blocks the only way out of the valley so hard that I went back and reloaded a save from before I had finished the chapter 2 main quest. Didn't help that I hadn't finished the Addon world at the time.

there's weed dealer in swamp camp. Just tell him you're for your daily smoke, and he will hand you 3 joints every day.

There's more to it. In New Camp there's dealer who will ask you to distribute "samples" around camp. Hand them over to generic thungs and mercs. After that they will buy joints you find for 10 nuggets per piece. Not very profitable, but you can exchange various junk for weed at dealers, and then turn it to nuggets by selling weed around

G2 is pretty generic. G1 was very unique(i mean, setting, Sleeper, orc culture), but G2 is just "fantasy world, kill the dragons". NoTR fixes it though, giving player additional chapter with interesting gothic-y story.

I know. The gameplay makes up for everything as well as dialogues and worldbuilding / lore and quest design, but the premise is pretty shoddy in this one.

The dialogues are fairly vanilla but tend to have a neat twist here and there, but the lore and worldbuilding are pretty fucking awful and so are the quests.

Frankly, G1 wasn't even nearly as "bad" as it should be. I mean it was literally prison, led and mostly inhabited by evil people who did bad things before - and except highest-ranked oldcamp shits every guy you've met was sane, pleasant and well-behaved person who wanted to help you with your problems. Some 'bad' situations like two diggers who wanted to beat the shit out of you for not paying for Bloodwyn was good, but there was definitely too little of that in prison-colony.

I love how well designed Gothic is. When OP comes here to ask how to survive in Gothic he isn't getting ''just put points into Dex you need to unlock X skill, that will make grinding mobs easier, just exploit this here glitch for easy money hurr durr''.
What he is getting is
>Talk to NPCs, they give you advice

>Try and get some weapons and training before you get into fights
>Join this faction which I like more than the other faction

As much as I love Gothic 1 more than Gothic 2 for certain reasons, I can't disagree.

There is just so much more stuff you can do in Gothic 2 than in 1. But the XP prices for skills (above what 30?) were fucking unnecessary.

You need 90 DEX to get access to Acrobatics automatically. Which is a good thing I guess because you really don't want to waste points with NotR installed.

>''just put points into Dex you need to unlock X skill, that will make grinding mobs easier, just exploit this here glitch for easy money hurr durr''.
But that's pretty much literally what you have to do. In particular, put points into strength until you reach ~40 or so, then pump the fuck out of your 1h or 2h skill so that you can actually kill people, and get a faction armor asap so you don't get one-hit yourself.
The game is shit, the combat is attrocious, and the balance is nonsensical. How come a farmer with a 1~7 weapon and farmer clothes kills you in one hit when your 20~40 weapon takes 20 hits to kill them and you're wearing super dragon XXL adamantite mythril superarmor++ magic edition? It's retarded that's what it is, and only abusing the game can fix that.
>>
>>321651204
Forsaken Gods is hilarious. It's so buggy that you won't believe they did it seriously (i mean literally, i still can't believe it). And i'm not talking about just gameplay, even dialogues are so retarded that sometimes i had impression that they just put together several sentences at random.
