There is ZERO proof that this game will be better than the shovelware Piranha Bytes released in the past years.Īll the footage that was released was of some newly emotional dude (as I learned) hacking robots and dinosaurs left and right with no challenge whatsoever, allocating some attribute and skill points on an interface written in German and using a jetpack which for some reason displays usage/recharge rate above the protagonist's ass.Īlso the AI in the game is sensational. That conclusion you were quickly to pull because you became butthurt because in your mind I was quick to and superficially judged this game you think highly of for some reason. I feel we all have similar story.Click to expand.I never said it will be mediocre because of the UI designed. Just take a look at all coments for Gothic soundtrack. And this game helped us like no other to escape from what was happening at home. We, who love to listen to the sounds of "Gothic 1 & 2", had a similar childhood. Does it remind you of something? We listen to this because this game is an allegory of our childhood. He was abandoned, without family, alone in the wild. Today I probably understood what it really is! Pay attention to who the nameless person was. Why is this game so emotionally stuck in my memory? Sometimes I thought it was a matter of plot, sometimes it was a matter of the game world, thanks to which something was happening everywhere, sometimes it was the excitement of not being able to die because my computer was loading the save for 20 minutes, or maybe it was because this game helped for me to calm down after the toe treatment, when I felt terrible pain. Xardas as your mentor, guiding your journeyįor the last 15 years I have been wondering why I love the nostalgia so much, which the sound of this game brings back to me. (you might include Thorus here, but it's debatable if he is a minor friend to you or not) Lares, Cor Angar, Lee are your "lesser-friends" (they help you ocasionally, but they don't care that much for you) Diego, Gorn, Lester, Milten are your best friends (they are also the ones who help you with the focus-stones) His role in Gothic 2 was very minor, that's why I can't rank him as mentor. You find him in chapter 2 first, in the Valley of Mines and you help him escape with an escort mission but you can miss that if you are a really new player or don't pay attention to details - I often did, in my first playthroughs. I only remember him in chapter 3 and 5, giving you some errand quests. (and ALL gothics, since I don't buy the Forsaken Gods bullshit and Arcania, bleah !)Īs for Diego, I don't know.he has a big role in Gothic 1, but in Gothic 2 he is mostly absent. I think this is also the canonical ending for Gothic 3. Only in Gothic 3 he reveals the charade, and tells you that he found another way (other than, fighting each other for each one's god) where if you follow his advice (again) he will end the war of the gods, for the best of everybody. You are his gateway for his goals but at the same time he does help you in your quests, points you where to go and what to do - in your interest as well.Īt the end of Gothic 2 he foresees a future, where the champion of both Innos & Beliar will have to fight, so that means you and him will have a showdown in the future. So he does the right thing, but for the wrong motives, if it makes any sense.ġst game, to escape the damn barrier, and thus everybody gets out, not just you and him.Ģnd game, to destroy the Beliar's Champion, the undead dragon, which threatened everybody but at the same, to suck his powers for himself. Mercenaru 25w Yea but, being a mentor doesn't necessarily include being a friend as well.Īs for his motives, he does help you & the world around but at the same time you learn towards the end of the game (both) that you helped him more with his goals, and that his intentions are not "pure" as in helping the people and being philanthropic.
