They sell a lot of classics that Steam doesn't (eg the Gold Box games).Does GOG even serve a purpose anymore (other than to facilitate hassle free piracy)?
They also don't have DRM and that's about it, and let's not even get into the fact that many people who did not grow up with old PC games tend to not like a big number of old classic games like the Ultima series.They sell a lot of classics that Steam doesn't (eg the Gold Box games).Does GOG even serve a purpose anymore (other than to facilitate hassle free piracy)?
May i ask what's the problem with Humble Store?This.is.ridiculous. And it doesn't even make sense. They already have a bunch of XSEED games in their inventory already, which I doubt are much better, and aside from that a shitload of shitgames anyways. So wtf, GOG?
And no, I don't want to register on the fucking Humble Store! Humble Store my ass! Too bad I've also deleted my Steam Account...
PS: I voted on the wishlist.

Since I love "RPG blobbers" I too was interested in this.
Alas... it seems the game doesn't have a constant automap (I could very well be wrong here, but it seems you need to either buy the maps or need a spell to make them work). On this day and age there's no way I'm gonna touch a "dungeon-crawler" without a reliable mapping system.
GoG >> Humble Store because GoG forces DRM-free while the Humble Store allows devs to sell just a Steam key like most other stores do, which is a big deal. That said I'll buy this game on The Humble Store since XSEED provides DRM-free versions of their game.May i ask what's the problem with Humble Store?
They sell bundles, they offer DRM-free versions with keys to other stores and part of the money goes to charity while they get a more modern catalog than GOG, being somewhere between GOG and Steam, honestly, because of the charity part, i didn't even consider that people would hate it or consider it worse than GOG!
I was blown away by the original Wizardy, but playing it now would be like going online with a 14.4 modem.

It may be important for fans to start spamming these community wishlists early and often. Not sure how much it helps but it can't hurt.
Yeah, it's very disheartening the amount of people I've seen who refused to play Elminage: Gothic because access to the auto-map is restricted to spells or consumables (although you get an infinite consumable map item in the 3rd dungeon).
It's no wonder why they gave you the option to toggle infinite-use maps in the 3DS port of the game.
A lot of people who say they like dungeon crawlers turn out to hate the stuff that makes them good; which, ironically, is perfectly in keeping with how most RPG fans feel about their hobby, to be honest.
EDIT: In retrospect, I suppose all things have a silver-lining: it was because of this that the "modding scene" of Elminage: Gothic even began, as the english-language Elminage wiki opened a Mods Section with an Infinite Map mod, and the guy who did it also went ahead and created an extraction tool for the game files. I learned a lot of useful stuff thanks to that tool and the guy's tutorial on hex-editing E: Gothic files / save files.
I say go ahead and use the Infinite Map mod if it's the only thing preventing you from enjoying such a fantastic game. In the long run it doesn't change much, since, like I said: you can get an optional infinite-use map item in the game's 3rd dungeon.
Spinners, dark areas and teleporters. Three things that used to strike fear into people have turned into minor and annoying gimmicks thanks to automapping.Can somebody explain the hate for auto mapping?
Because i see no way it can influence level,class or enemy design,and i play dungeon crawlers because of those factors.
All auto mapping does is just give you a digital way to handle mapping,nothing else.Unless your auto map includes secret areas and other stuff,which is just dumb.
There's always Persona 3 and Skyrim for you.Maybe some of those things were stupid and unfun?
