Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[fantadomat]

I guess sticking to the cave was the better option, then! Managed to keep everyone alive except for 3 people who are scripted to die.

Is that even a question? You have to be a special kind of a retard to decide to run around the jungles of a unknown island in the middle of the night after you swam x amount of kilometres in the ocean lol. Also lol at him being a retard,everyone says that it is a bad idea,come stay with you brother in cave and chill out till morning,and he is all 'yoloooooo' in to the darkness. Cant wait to kill his retarded arse late game lol,such a retard shouldn't be allowed to spoil our family name.

"Hey do you wanna come to town with me or stay in the cave with the others?"
"I think it's safer if we stay until morning."
"Lol ok I'll be going alone then LMAO"

"BROTHER,please gibs,need helpu for antidotu"

Still searching for some good 1h str based weapons above 90 damage. All i keep getting are op weapons for dexterity fags.

Found another one btw. Insane damage. And fucking useless to me.

Spoiler

LoL chapter 3 is shit,a lot of scripted shit with no way to react and shit ton of immortal characters. Pretty bad design all around.

Meh main quest related npcs in Gothic games were always immortal you cant do shit to Lee, Lares, Lord Hagen, pirate Greg, Xardas etc.

Yes,i am talking about random 'pirate' or a 'thug'. Also you could kill most shit in gothic games. You could kill all the bandits ins the bandit camp in gothic 2,for example.

Is it worth the 250 shekels to buy the contacts for Ezekiel's store?

Ezekiel has a pretty good selection of goods, including stat-raising foods. It's worth it to get him estabilished, imo. No need to rush, though, you won't be able to afford his good shit until much later anyway

LP costs for learning magic circles are just insane:

1st circle - 20 points
2nd circle - 30 points
3rd circle - 40 points
4th circle - 50 points

What the actual fuck is this?!

Remember that in vanilla G2 you pay LP for each spell, as well as paying for the circles. It works out to be the same, actually it heavily favors this game instead considering you eventually find every spell for free.

 

[Cunt Dickula!?]

You can't learn Advanced Smithing in Chapter 2, am i right?

 

[notpl]

Let's see here. To learn master level alchemy and the fourth circle of magic you have to spend 200 fucking LPs! That is 20 fucking levels worth of experience!

Are spells that weak that you need to beeline for 4th circle rather than leaving that for endgame? Also how does the LP cost compare to other skills? I'm level 17 and haven't really invested almost anything into combat yet, so idk what the costs are

Not at all, you can beat anything in the game easily with circle 2. 3 and 4 are just gloating.

That being said, of course I already have circle 4 as soon as it became available in chapter 4 and just shy of 400 mana. Because I'm a fucking wizard.

 

[fantadomat]

Only if you become apprentice to the smith.

Ah ok, thx.

the mana regen items are percentage-based so even using only 2 of the 3 set items it's a huge amount of mana when you have 400+ and I no longer need potions. wonderful feeling after stressing about it for the first 3 chapters

I want to get access to the old town asap, what do I have to do? Is it enough to join a guild or would I be required to do some additional legwork?

No, you don't get access on joining a guild. It seems as though you don't get proper access till you advance far enough in the guild or guards.

I'm assuming it'll be around chapter 4.

Ah shit, this is way worse than I thought it would be. Can I at least become master alchemist for free in the third chapter? I've chosen to become an apprentice of the alchemist.

I've not checked back with the alchemist master yet, but it definitely seems to be gated on something. I think my current chapter 3 save is near the city so I'll check when I play the game a bit later.

I've been focusing on learning trophy/extraction skills so far. Time to start learning fighting skills.

I always focus melee in PB games. So I must decide between STR- or DEX-based weapons.

1. If I understand correctly, STR is always good for extra melee dmg. While DEX is just a prerequisite for some melee weapons. So the choice is really between going full STR, or balancing STR and DEX?
2. If so, then the argument for going STR-DEX (less melee dmg) is if you also want to be decent at ranged weapons?

 

[Naerydan]

I simply can't stop playing this fucking mod, it is so good. So, so good; I feel like a fucking child all over again, my mother asking what's so entrancing stop with this computer already and go do something else.
Almost everyday I say to myself: games are dead. Then something like this happens. I'm so fucking glad, thank you.

Yes. STR boosts melee damage, DEX doesn't.
It's also the reason why DEX melees have a higher base damage (to keep them competitive).
Hybrid builds (both dex and str) are very viable too.

Only strength boosts melee damage, no matter what attribute the weapon requires to be equipped and only dexterity boosts ranged weapons damage, even for crossbows. The thing about Gothic is that one handed weapons are outright better and are more handy to use than two handers. Two handed weapons are just too slow and clunky, if you want a more detailed explanation, you can read my post here. In Archolos a lot of one handed weapons require dexterity to be equipped, while a lot of two handers require strength. So it seems that if you want to use weapons with superior speed and animations you will have to pump DEX as well, but if not, you can go pure strength and stick with big and slow two handed weapons.

If so, then the argument for going STR-DEX (less melee dmg) is if you also want to be decent at ranged weapons?

You will do fine if you want to do both, it's just that ranged weapons require you to pump weapon proficiency pretty high to become good, unlike melee weapons which are good even at lower levels. Still, you will have to decide which weapon type will be your primary one and prioritize developing skills required to use it efficiently. You are either going ranged and take a melee weapon with you for some support or you go heavy melee and carry a ranged weapon for occasional use.

To be fair, every time I've seen a high end dex 1h weapon there has been a fairly equiv str 1h. From the spreadsheet posted the other day, it seems like the best 1h is a strength weapon as well.

 

[Mikeal]

So in second chapter I can join City Guards, Mercs for (((merchants))) and Water Mages?

Only pigs and kikes. You can't be a faggot mage in this one. At least officially.

And which one is that? I only managed to get one good 1h weapon above 100 damage, that's still below the best dex weapon i just casually found when exploring. Won it after completing bumfight club quest in the slums.

 

[Vicissitudes]

Uf this game is.. like finding that there's another gothic game that I missed somehow. So good. When afk I'm thinking about the builds and how I'll get more money or which skills and weapons I'll pick next. Mad respect for the devs!

 

[Zariusz]

Can we join Sons of Wolf in the castle? They have cool armour

 

[Konjad]

Trash.

First quest after leaving the ship and it's already bugged so as I cannot continue with the game and have to restart it...
