Fuck that disappearing item bug is annoying,have spend like 1k on pickaxes by now. Also there is big 1gb patch on gog.

One thing I never paid a great deal of attention to (as I always had a million of them in the inventory), but do pickaxes break out in the wild? I know they do in the gold mine.
I just run out of places where they sell them. People say that it is a bug from the original,but i don't remember running out of pickaxes in the gold mine in notr . Clearly the moders fucked up and don't know how to fix that shit.

I lost a pickaxe in NOTR digging up Greg's treasure when I replayed in January. I don't remember the issue happening when I used to play on older OS/Hardware. Wouldn't surprise me if it's something that happens more frequently when playing at framerates over 60 and was just a super rare bug in the original. Wouldn't be the first old engine to have issues with higher refresh rates.

My point partially was though that they have purposefully added a pick breaking mechanic in Archolos, but I think it only applies to the gold mine, not the outside world.

An entire stack of pickaxes can randomly disappear in a heartbeat. Same with wood axes. Nothing to do with them breaking, it's just bug related to animation i think.

Maybe its a mechanic? Certainly it was in Araxos Goldmine but i think it still somewhat works in overworld.

You see the notification when they break in Araxos mine. I doubt they made a mechanic when a stack of 5-10 pickaxes can break simultaneously without you knowing. Cuz that would be fucking retarded. Someone said it's an old engine bug related to animation, but i don't recall it ever happening to me in gothic 2.

CH5. So far Vardhal been awesome and atmospheric, in best traditions of older games. Feels just like Irdorath or Underground Sleeper's Temple.

I found a trapped vault room full of riches, but the door is scripted to shut and you die if you don't get out of there in time. Any of you managed to loot anything and escape?

I noticed that it happens for me when I immediately click forward when Marvin is still in the animation of stopping his mining, and then he goes back to mining the depleted object.

Better to wait before walking forward so it doesn't happen.

I managed to loot one of the chests before the door closed, it had a bunch of gold and valuables and a stoneskin perma potion.

I didn't have enough coin to buy the house in the city when first approached. Was this a scam as well? I can't see the need, but is there another opportunity to?

It's a scam. You get a chance to buy a house when you get access to old town in a later chapter.

You get to run the scam in that instance, disrupting the auction so that you get it at a massive discount.

Don't ask me why my max health ended up being 2077. Maybe ancient polish dark gods are mocking me.

Not really,the amount of xp from it is worth the 75 gold.

I was more moved by this than the entire "muh bro" storyline. I just like doggies.
Can't say i enjoyed the plot to be honest. Side quests were good, but main story was meh. Then again the plot wasn't that important for me. It's the feeling of playing a proper Gothic game (for the most part) that was. :incline:

Is there a way to split stacks of items in your inventory I'm forgetting about? I wanted to try out the boxer's rings, but they stack and it's not letting me equip both.

I've heard that you can put one of them in a chest, equip the one you have in your inventory and then take the other one out of the chest and equip it.

Put one of the rings in any chest or other container that you can find.

No,it is a mod bug,good example is the boxer rings,they are stacked but if you equip them you can't equip the second one because it is part of the stack. Same with pickaxes,you lose a whole stack of them. The old games destacked items when equipped,but the mod won't.

You selfish prick. You were supposed to find a new home for him before you left for the suicide mission.

No, I'm serious, that's an actual thing you can do and the dog lives happily ever after on a farm.
