Very evocative work. It must have taken a lot of courage to post this. Thank you so much for sharing something so deeply personal and intimate, agentorange.
Since we're speaking of Gothic 2, can anyone tell me if the Blood Chalice bug is fixed in the GOG version?
Namely, you can get a quest in the Thieves' Guild to find and steal several Chalices. It's a pretty complex task, and once you manage it and go back to the quest giver, she tells you that the deadline for the job was blown and she attacks and kills you. Which is silly, because nowhere during the quest were you told that there's a deadline.
Nice find - GoG recently packaged VtmB with 9.9 of the unofficial patch, feel like it's time they did the same with the Gothic games. SystemPack has been consistently amended nearly as long as Vamp's patch.I would like to hear opinions on Yet Another Unofficial Patch for Gothic II if someone here has tried it. Worth bothering or not?
I'm going to try out the Gothic 2 Returning mod posted on the previous page. I'm apprehensive because I've played very few good mods ever, but this looks professionally done and leagues above anything else I've tried, so I'm willing to give it a chance. I'll let everyone here know what I think. I've been very critical of mods before, so people shouldn't expect me to go easy on it, and if it's good enough, maybe I'll contact the team and collaborate with them on a better English version.I recently replayed trough both Gothics, I don't think I will bother with the third one. However I see people talking about mods for G2, any worthwhile to check out?

I already started a playthrough with it too. Though god damn I'm still annoyed as fuck by performance. I'm halfway thinking to just limit FPS to 30 and make peace with it. It's weird, in Gothic 1 I had no trouble not only setting in game distance sliders to 300% but also increasing its multiplier by 10 in SystemPack.ini. Perfect framerate all throughout. In Gothic II I cannot even max in game distance setting.
Parse scripts, did that work?the damn stuttering from time to time that bothers me

I already started a playthrough with it too. One change I found right away, apart from item descriptions, is the first statue you get to pray at. I offered maximum choice of 10 hp and recieved 500 moneyz for it. Were statues in vanilla even doing anything?
do you suggest using these even with a gog version?Multidirectional
What I can recommend is installing a number of semi- and unofficial technical and bugfixing patches/utilities:
1) gothic2_fix-2.6.0.0-rev2.exe - supposed to be a semi-official patch, fixing game compatibility with 64-bit OS and some engine bugs.
2) Player Kit - basically, a mod manager and an alternative game starter menu. (Usually) makes managing the whole mess a bit easier.
3) System Pack - fixes a bunch of technical and compatibility issues on top of (1). Requires (1) + (2) to work, IIRC. Check it here.
