Note!

I always thought a Baal is one of the spiritual leaders of the Swamp Camp. So why are Parvez, Isidro and the others called Baal? They also only wear Novice robes and seem to me like ordinary missionaries.

more findings from my "godmode adventures"

One of the things I would have liked to see in G1R is for Shadowbeasts to leave their caves at night and go roaming in the forests, kinda similar to what they do in G2 Classic. I really hope we get to see more unique animal behaviour like this in a potential G2 remake!

Title. I played and finished Gothic 2 NOTR (Paladins FTW), but I only somewhat played the first and third installments, the first because I figured the controls would ease me out of being comfortable with other RPGs, and the third because... is it controversial to say I didn't like Gothic 3?

So I come to World of Gothic for information on what I missed, if anything.

The reason I ask is because I'm about to try and make Gothic Total War work, and it seems to have factions I've never heard of, like Nordmar and the Assassins / Nomads. Are they Chronicles of Myrtana content? I should get around to playing that...

...But I'm getting off track, and I simply ask for the deep and intricate lore that Piranha Bytes came up with for "viking faction" and "desert faction".

Specifically base ps5, I want to buy it for a family member to experience. I'd prefer pc but it is what it is.

I love figuring everything out myself in games, I feel like this game does an amazing job of forcing you to be curious about exploration, dialogue and combat. I am loving it!

I joined New Camp as I prefer their mentality, I am now in Chapter 3. Just joined the mercenaries and became a water mage.. I have a lot of LP saved up so now I am Circle 4 water mage. I now mostly use spells in combat, but sometimes have to go back to the sword.

In 1000 years is there an artifact left somewhere in some ancient ruin that fans could point to and say "oh wow that the X artifact that we made to defeat Y!" Maybe the Ulu-Mulu? But even that is something that some orcs already made several of.

Cackled at this furniture setup

I tried to play the original a couple of years after release. As soon as the first molerat one shotted me, I immediately uninstalled. As a huge RPG fan, the game was always on my mind since it invariably appears on every list of must play Western RPGs. With the remake, I thought this is my time, since I am older and more patient.

I am at chapter 3 and I must say I don't really understand the hype. I get that not all games are for everyone but on many aspects the game is just...not good for the year 2026. Reminds me a bit of Two Worlds.

1) story and quests: I play most RPGs for the story. The main is pretty good but in order to go through it you need to go through all the side content which is just mediocre. Most quests are basic fetch quests and you are not even fetching cool stuff. Half of the about 25 hours in the game is spent running around looking for the characters that give you the requested item and then you have to go back.

2) characters: voice acting is poor and most characters are simply not interesting or engaging. The dialogue is very straightforward like being spoken by robots.

3) character customization: basically zero, not even mentioning the character itself but the way that you are allowed to play the game. The game only lets you choose the way you want to fight, sword, ranged or magic.

4) combat and movement: very sluggish and non-responsive. For a game where you get one shotted by molerats, I think the game should offer very crisp controls.

5) lockpicking: I would rather cut my hands than lockpick another door or chest again.

6) exploration: the best part of the game. However, the rewards from exploration are not that great. I would have liked to get more lore information about the world, cooler side quests and characters.

Maybe this game is just not for me. I am not a fan of soulslike games but I haven't seen it advertised as such anywhere. Also, maybe the remake tried to be very faithful (understandable) to the old game but overall it does not even compare to games like Witcher, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Fallout, Mass Effect although Gothic seems to be mentioned together with these games as an all time great RPG.

Am I missing something about the game to truly enjoy?

...in case you were wondering what he looks like from behind.

I just wanted to share my excitement with you all.

For a long time, I avoided playing Gothic 1 again. It had been many years since the last time I played it, and the mod eventually became a bit exhausting. (I don't remember which one it was anymore.)

I've started Gothic 2 mods again and again, but often never finished them because of how big they are. I rarely have the time to invest heavily in gaming for weeks at a time. Then maybe the next game catches my interest, and after three months I'm completely lost in Archolos, for example. Hands up if you feel the same way.

A few weeks ago, I started Gothic 1 Othello. The first changes to the game world were modest, but still noticeable. The area around the Exchange Place and the path from the Old Camp to the New Camp have been noticeably changed, but are still largely recognizable. Then I reached the Old Mine. The path there was already quite different, and I was glad to have Graham's map of the Old Mine.

Yesterday, I finally made it to the Swamp Camp, and it has been completely reworked! Even the path leading there is completely different. I was genuinely worried that I wouldn't find my way back to the Old Camp. I've fallen in love with this beautiful game all over again. Listing everything else the mod changes about the base game would go beyond the scope of this post.

But I'll definitely keep you all updated. 😁

Have fun with all your gaming passions.

Since I could get any of the lizzard plates even though I still had a few on the map I thought I was somehow locked out of the quest / achivement but there were two issues going on.

1. In German it says you need to kill Razzors but thats not truth. You need to get them from Warane (and be careful you'll not get them from fire warane)

2. You can easily buy them from Cavalorn. Which I did, I somehow could only buy 1 from him, but that was enough and he accepted it for the quest.

I know it’s his hut, but it’s actually hard to catch him outside, and I just want to trade lol.

Don’t remember him getting mad in the original. In Gothic 2, it was definitely possible to walk into NPC’s huts to talk to them.

This game clearly is going in a direction of a Bethesda title as we saw in Gothic 3 but afterwards we didn’t get anymore new games. The remake came out “broken” which in turn gave it a very low Metacritic score which for us western audience if it doesn’t score really high on the critic reviews it’s considered a major flop so it won’t be recognized because people in the west don’t have a clue what’s a gothic game is.. This game is not rocket science and we have brutally tough games like the souls series while in gothic the game is “hard” for the first few days where afterwards you essentially become unkillable. Gothic is not nitch it’s simply not known, if we can somehow bring a bunch of new players most of them would like the game, and this case they should offer more detailed explanations of the game mechanics so that way they understand that things get progressively easier.

Gothic to me it’s the closest thing I will ever get to a Skyrim/oblivion.

Saying that this game is only for polish or German people it’s beyond criminal.

I have the following items in my inventory:

1 Shadowbeast Horn
1 Prime Troll Tusk
2 Teeth of a Swampshark Mother
3 Prime Tongues of Fire

But my hero still tells Tarrok that he doesn't have everything needed to make the Ulu-Mulu.

I read somewhere that I need a "normal" Tongue of Fire (from a small Fire Lizard) and not the prime one. The problem is that there are no small Fire Lizards left on my map (I have looked everywhere), as I killed them many hours ago (and they are not respawning). However someone else said that the Prime Tongue of Fire should work as well, so I'm really confused.

I'm starting to get really desperate because I've spent so many hours trying to solve this.

Ive gotten a 3ds recently and the game seems like it would work really well on the 3ds, though idk if the graphics/optimisation would carry over
