Incline Gothic turns 15 years

[Junmarko]

What's up with that handling time though? Is it common for Russian sellers?

Ordered the item as soon as Junmarko linked to it and it's yet to be shipped.

I ordered it on January the 15th, so basically a month. Sorry, I should have clarified that initially.

Be patient, the poor Ivan has to mine the iron ore himself. Life is not easy in Ruskie land.

Haha! Wore it into the office.

Men: "Dude that is sick! Where did you get it?!"
Women: "What is that? Are you in a cult?..." *Weird looks*

Yes...lol

 

[Darth Roxor]

Women: "What is that? Are you in a cult?..." *Weird looks*

ofc you replied with "INFIDEL!" and said "may the sleeper awaken" on your way out

but first punch them in the face and scream they are popamole cucks

Tell them what they do with women in the colony first

edit
did some test with L'Hivers popamole editions, the ones that remove harder difficulty (level rusian*) and the most fun is unBalanced Edition. If you set "Gothic1 control ON" you can aim with bows like in the Gothic3, and that thing kill wolf with 2 arrows, bandit in light b. armor with 3-4 arrows. You can even kill troll with it. Mandess.
Got to drop it because modder did lot of tests and decided to re-write everything from scratch.

Then tested Balanced Edition, now things works. Forging armors, improving them 4 times btw. they removed encumberance too. Did not had any problems with it though. Plants being "alchemy integrents" and not healing you - bit more trouble but not much.

Still waiting for L'Hiver 0.9.8 versions adaptations...

What the hell. Durmin Paradox's Gothic Retrospectives have been removed?

Got here about a week ago, they shipped it a couple of days after my other post. Pretty good quality, arguably better than what was in the collector's edition of Gothic 3 (judging by the pictures).

Now I just need to figure out some actual use* for it as a grown ass non-metalhead man.

*Or a good excuse/story

In other news Degenerated released v0.3 of his REGoth engine, looks like it's gotten pretty far (then again that's what I thought about OpenMW 4 years ago).

Embrace your inner dork and just wear it!

Degenerated is a machine. Between this and optimising DX11 for Gothic 1 and 2, you wonder how he has any free time at all.

Been replaying the first Gothic recently, really reignited my love for Gothic 1 & 2.

I've never actually finished either game so I'm determined to finish the first Gothic before I move onto the second.

Still, I'm quite looking forward to playing Gothic 2 again. I remember the mage path in Gothic 2 being somewhat unsatisfactory, even though the monastery quest line is pretty great.

Anybody have any particular feelings on which is superior / more enjoyable out of the militia or mercenary path?

More bros in the merc line.

 

[sullynathan]

I never played the mercenary path, I only know that they armor had worse stats

I almost always play as mercenary. Its the most fun faction and the farm feels most like "home" to me as faction base.

 

[throwaway]

Significant part of the merc content is accessible in ch1 without becoming a member. I feel assimilation-wise the Mage path is somewhat the closest to khorinis' local society so there's clear lore perks. In g2 Vanilla the high level spells were pretty awesome as well.

 

[Modron]

Been forever since I played the Gothics starting to blend together, I remember going the paladin or whatever it was called route so I could cheese my str to somewhere in the neighborhood of 275ish using alchemy and prayer.

 

[T. Reich]

False.

Anyways, mercs are the G1 bros, paladins are uppity faggots who can get nothing done, and mages... well, they give you access to rune magic, but you can get by perfectly well by using scrolls instead.

 

[Haplo]

Paladin path is easier (at least in vanilla), as the Str requirements on equipment is lower and the runes you get in Act 3 are frankly overpowered. Of course removing the challenge from the game may be a bad thing.

You can now play gothic in a browser.

Gothic game in Unity engine when?
There is already Stalker in this shit engine so it should be a matter of time.
Or not because Stalker is liked in the west (where Unity is used) while Gothic is not and dem ruskies hate this shit engine. For good reason.

edit
Durmin PAradox videos are back bitches!

So after all the hype ELEX is getting around the Codex I bought it and was getting ready to play it... but with all the “return to Gothic glory” comments I recalled I actually never got around playing Gothic 1 & 2
I bough Gothic 2 on a trade show a few years ago but the disk was defective and since they had no other copies they traded me for Temple of Elemental Evil and while later I got both Gothics from GOG I never got around to playing them
I rarely have the time to play games of a same series and since Gothic 2 is supposedly the better game I was almost going to start there but since the general consensus is that playing the first game makes the second one more enjoyable I decided to say fuck it and installed Gothic with most of the modern patches and fixes.... no DX fix for me since I am planned to play them on my laptop to avoid the small text problem at higher resolutions

So far the game is.... incredible

It feels so damn rewarding the characters progression, scrounging for ore and items to get started and finding a treasure chest really feels like a treasure when you get just enough to train or buy that sword
I am still on Chapter One and have not picked a camp but the game is just so much fun.
The controls are a bit of a pain at first but they work and make combat tense and challenging where you can try to take on higher level monsters and try to outmaneuver them... it is simply superb
I used to think that level scaling games were not so bad... but the sheer level of growth you get from games like Gothic and the wonderful world building maked me rethink that
Kind of happy and sad about discovering Gothic until now; happy that it is such a great game and sad that after Gothic 2 sounds like everything else from PB kind of sucks... but ELEX sounds like a return to basics for the studio

Gothic is amazing, but one of the things I'm really sad about is that I played it after playing the likes of Skyrim, Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, and I got way too used to games that last a long time. Gothic's 30 hours were fun, but I was left craving for much, much more.

You can always replay it as another faction.

You're in for a treat with Gothic 2 as well. It's a direct sequel so together the two games form one long story.

That gamelength sounds about right for me, the last RPGs I finished were Age of Decadence and Dungeon Rats and 15, 20 hour games are perfect for me; They are long enough to be satisfying and short enough to be replayable over a weekend
I wanted to try a fire mage but seems that for a first playthrough a melee char is a better bet, definetly joining the new camp I like their Robin Hood vibe

 

[sullynathan]

Gothic 2 is the great one so you'll be in for a treat
