The only game in the Gothic franchise worth playing is Gothic 2: Night Of The Raven.

A really damn good game, but it's not the kind you'll instantly fall in love with. It's a gradual process but absolutely worth it.

I know NoTR was designed so it unfolds as you progress through the game, but does it really?

Because I went to the NoTR area as soon as I started Chapter 2, and currently being in the gold mine I feel I am very close to finishing it. So is there some tweest or something coming, or is it really going to end this soon?
>>
>>344877691
Its going to end soon yeah.
After the mine only comes the temple plus some minor backtracking.

If you don't use the keyboard controls for both games you are a pleb.
>>
>>344877945
That's a shame, I was having the time of my life. But I guess this is the expected length of an expansion.

Still, I found it strange that it didn't try to gate content from you a bit more. I was constantly expecting some to be continued "the time is not right" shit to come up and force me to progress the story a bit.

But really, I'm not complaining. I just don't want it to end.

It's actually the other way around.

Nah. Vatras will only tell you that he can't progress if you don't finish that stuff.
>>
>>344879197
I'm pretty sure you won't miss out anything. You can always revisit the addon map after finishing it.

Also, not Xardas.
>>
>>344879369
>>344879439
Good then. My OCD previously compelled me to reload an earlier save when it turned out you can't report what you find out about the missing people and get the exp for it if you already went to Dexter.

>not Xardas
Herp, and here I was thinking he would actually do something for once. I backtracked back to his tower like thrice during NoTR, and once when I started Chapter 2, and every time that faggot dismissed me without saying anything. Fuck you Xardas, at least give me a teleport rune.

1 is a meh game, but has great atmosphere and setting.
To be honest you won't be missing much if you jumped straight into Gothic 2
>>
>>344875275
Gothic 1 and 2 are like Fallout 1 and 2. Gothic 1 is a much tighter experience with a more engaging story and you'll have a blast the whole time through. 2 doesn't have as interesting of a story but there's more than double the amount of content as G1 and it's overall more challenging. Don't skip either game and anyone that tells you otherwise is possibly retarded.
>>
>>344882410
Makes sense. Funny, in G1 I was convinced until the very end that it was just a ruse and he didn't really buy into the whole Sleeper shit.

>>344882474
But then he won't get any of the cameos, namedrops, references and returning NPCs. And the game is chock full of them.

Nigga what? Its literally just the predecessor, a prequel is a game that comes out AFTER the game, but plays in its past

I'm not sure if outdated is the right word for it. It has a unique and pretty unorthodox control scheme, not just something that isn't used anymore.
>>
>>344883079
no, a prequel literally just means the story that took place before the story in question, regardless of chronological order of release.
Ie. LOTR 1 is the prequel of LOTR 2, but Star Wars 1 is also the prequel of Star Wars 4

Well, it doesn't tell you anything about what happens once the Barrier fell. But I don't think it was even properly explained exactly how killing the Sleeper will get rid of the Barrier either.
>>
>>344881308
After their last albums I finally understood how they could randomly get out of the barrier, given that only dead stuff can leave it.
>>
>>344890474
Wasn't it explained in the game that the Sleeper was the cause of the barrier expanding like it did when the mages casted it? So one can assume that the barrier only manages to stay up because of the Sleeper's magic, so no Sleeper = no magic to keep the barrier up and running.
I don't know. I'm just guessing here.

was meant for >>344890474
>>
>>344892137
Nah, we can only guess. Not even Xardas had any idea about what went wrong with the Barrier, and when you tell him about the Sleeper his reaction is basically "blowing up the ore mound will never get us out of here, but if there is an archdemon inside the Barrier we really should kill it asap or we'll all die". And then 10 minutes later NH is telling everyone that they found a way of destroying the Barrier. It made no sense.

You have to try this shit. Gothic with Silent Hill fog literally 5 meters around you at all times is fucking amazing.

And yet Saturas doesn't know, and Xardas is under the impression that everyone thinks him dead despite literally the entire colony knowing where he lived, not to mention the letter you carried being addressed to him. Mages are fucked up in the head.

What a bro.

Yeah, NH is really good. It is interesting because smug main characters are not exactly rare if they have a pre-defined personality. But NH is somewhat different in that he is smug as shit, but doesn't really crack any one-liners, and acts more like a thug than anything. You never feel like he must have been innocent when they banished him to the colony. And the voice actor really pulls this off well.

The scrolls, you mean? Yeah, I already have a few that are quite ridiculous. I'm using up the moderately good ones though, since Circle 1-2 spells are utter trash, so fuck wasting any LPs on them. I've got Light and called it a day.

As you can see I'm sitting on quite a few LPs right now, and still unsure about what to do with them. Maybe I should get mana now, but I want to see the LP cost progression for Circles and spells first. Both the first and the second Circles cost 5 LP, but I want to know if it'll increase later. Also the spells I've seen so far varied between 1 and 10 LPs, but if it turns out shit like Wave of Death or Army of Darkness will cost something like 40 LPs I might as well play with scrolls now and save up.

>you can fall from any height while blocking and take no fall damage
That's really good to know, I had no idea. Thanks, man.

>you can kill trolls at any level
Eh, already killed all of them, so unless they respawn later I won't be fighting more in Khorinis or Jhakandar. Maybe in the colony. although not how you described. I just got close and backstepped every time it started to lift its arm.

Okay, so I've got Vino, Malak, Fernando, Sekob, and Randolph, but I'm still not seeing it. They are all on farms, except Fernando, but that's the only thing they have in common.

I hope this is not some inside joke. I want to shit bricks.

I was planning to restart Gothic 2+NotR ONCE AGAIN because I just can't get this fucking game right, I tried out all 3 major factions by now and was planning to try the militia again. Any tips to do well early game? Some things destroy me in this game. Like fighting goblins and their dumb bullshit sidestep, gods save me if there's more than one, wich is always. One anon said in a past gothic thread, to ignore learning skills like forging, hunting, lockpick etc and get only fighting stats early on, is this true?
>>
>>344877592
it's like the dark souls of video games am i right xD?
>>
>>344907513
Yes.
In NotR its very important to put everything you got into fighting early because the game gives you no points for free.

Shit like lockpicking and hunting are not needed because you can get enough money elsewhere.

You need to know that most human enemies can one-shot you with a single critical hit and that animals in general are a bitch to deal with if you are fighting more than one at the same time.

Personally i always go for the cave orc near Khorines and let him kill the militia guy who offers you protection. But that only after i paid him to kill the mercs at the farm for me.
His sword is decent so get your strength for that and after that put every point into one-hand fighting so you get all those great crits.
>>
>>344874278
sumpfkraut
>>
>>344907513
Yep, pretty much. Start with weapon, and only move on to strength once you are satisfied. I'd definitely get lockpicking now, though. It will pay off instantly if you proceed to the Thieves Guild and grab the amulet that gives you +10 STR..

NOTR being my first Gothic was a mistake.

I played Gothic 1 like i play NOTR - as a minmaxing faggot - and ended up being overpowered in chapter 1. The black goblin bridge had no chance.
>>
>>344904742
Ah well, I actually went and looked it up, so apparently the 6th Circle spells will cost 20 LPs. That's still a lot, and I'll have to be selective, but I can work with that.

Can anyone confirm if advancement through the Circles has a flat cost of 5 LP? Apparently PB changed up mage costs in NoTR compared to what it was in vanilla, and most guides only cover the original where advancement increased like in Gothic 1, but spells had the flat price of 5 LP.
>>
>>344909430
Gothic 1 was my first, and I still minmaxed the everloving shit out of it. It's like an instinct, you don't know what to expect, so you want to err on the side of caution.

That, and anons told me you have to kill everything before moving on to a new chapter because enemies respawn when you do. So I did, and then it turned out only trash mobs respawn. Swamp sharks, shadowbeasts, trolls, undead, even bloodhounds stay dead for the rest of the game.

Fun facts about getting alot of str in NOTR
Reach 29str only using lp to level it up, after that get 5 str at once (its still going to cost only 5lp so u save some lp, works for every skill cost transition from 1:3 to 1:4 etc
You can get stats by praying to shrines of innos, sonating highest amount of gold gives you 1 str or dex
(You have to sleep until next day each time u make a donation, smaller donations give u a bit of mana or hp, i think you can get 10 str in chapter 1 and then 10 more in a later chapter (im not entirely sure if you can do it only twice) also being a paladin doubles the stats you get from praying if i remember correctly)
Save all str boosting items from theklas stews to stone tablets and
Dragonroots
At the beginning of chapter 4 return to khorinis and kill an orcish warlord and take his rin and put it on, so if you had maxed out your str at 100
At a trainer you will now have 80, so you can max out ur str at a trainer with lp again and remove the ring to have 120 str
Learn to brew str potions, if you find all the dragonroots and kings sorrel you can make like 7-9 str potions, now eat everything that gives str and you should have over 200-250 str while wearing str belt amulet and rings

Well you can use lares and whoever else guides you to kill alot of shit+ transform scrolls
Also some permanent str items to wield some wep so u can kill some birds
You probably wont be able to do some of the quests that involve killing people but after you get the fore arrow it shouldnt be that bad, and im sure you can easily get more than lvl5

Ice Lance? 100 damage is not bad for 20 mp I suppose. I'm more of a fan of Ice Block/Wave, though that 120 mp for Wave is a pretty fucking huge nerf compared to its G1 iteration. I'll still buy it the second it becomes available.

I understood it so it's fine, thank you anon. I was thinking about picking up a C2 spell anyway, but wasn't sure which one. 5 LP is not a bad price, especially since Fireball does less damage and costs 10 LP. I wonder why. Does it have better range?
>>
>Spawn in Dragon in Gothic 2 with Marvin mode
>take over control
>play the game as a dragon because nobody views it as hostile
>>
>>344917961
I guess its the same range, but its better because it kills orcs much faster and avoids you getting swarmed by them. Oh and seekers aren't immune to it.
>>
>>344917615
so that isn't in the game, only the concert? that makes more sense alright.
>>
>>344918464
The magic protection of orcs is stronger than their fire protection? That's kind of weird, but that does justify the higher price.

What the dick is a Seeker? Are they immune to steel too?
>>
>>344918496
Yeah. The guy used marvin to give the MC the ore baron armor and the rest is just him fucking around by taking over the monsters with marvin and placing the camera.

Thats how they also made that here:

No no, orcs have the same elemental protection for both spells, but ice lance deals considerably more damage and clean orc stacks more quickly.
Seekers are the main mobs on chapter 3 and for some reason, after notr they became immune/almost immune against fire magic.

No, they are normal humans possessed by the souls of the sleeper's servants from G1
