  1. Gothic 3 will not ENTIRELY be scaling.

    No, that's not going to work at all for me. I want my badass mofos whenever I decide to pay them a visit. I want to pay them a visit at level one and die in the process. I want to visit them at level two and die in the process. I want to keep trying and dying until the odds have changed in my...

  2. Gothic 3 will not ENTIRELY be scaling.

    Orcs, mostly. I am addressing both chapter change and area change in one single post to refute Dhruin's would-be argument. I didn't mean to confuse you, but there... I did. My point was and is that the application or omission of chapters in the story simply does not justify level scaling...

  6. Gothic 3 will not ENTIRELY be scaling.

    If I had to invent hell, it would be a level scaled experience. It reminds me of PS:T's Bloodwar... an eternal and pointless battle of matched forces. So, to cut things short, I have decided against any kind of level scaling. I am not going to bother wasting my time on trying to catch my own...

  7. Preview Refundable skills points in Gothic 3

    Word in the dungeon is that they put in the skills shifting in order to make this wonderful new schizophrenic faction of "slave trading assassins" possible. So now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for car-pooling minecrawlers.
