Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[thesecret1]

Supposing this was a standalone PB release, where would you rank it among their other titles?

I'd go ahead and rate it slightly above Gothic 2, even. It's just much more polished and with various new mechanics that Gothic 2 didn't have, and I love all the attention to detail that went into it. Seeing your choices impact the world around you is also something excellent that Gothic 2 lacked IMO.

They'll do nothing. They're through with Gothic.

It's a great shame. I wish they'd try start their own Gothic clone; I'd happily support it on kickstarter or wherever.

I read some of the devs werer hired by CDPROJECTZ...

 

[Outlander]

One of the designers I think, was hired to work in the Gothic Remake.

Wow... That's good news... We have th info source to rest happy tonight?

I know that one dev left because the rest of the team says there's not gonna be any updates until this person comes back, post on Steam forums.. So i guess that's him.

 

[Ryzer]

What I find disappointing however is the lack of options for resolving side-quests. Most of the time, there is no other option than the linear path.
As a result, I will finish it once, never to replay it again.

The latest version is relatively polished and stable, so probably not the end of the world. Shame though, as they had plans for a veteran/hard mode.

Look's like hardcore mode is still in the plans...

Finished it last week. Took me about 100 hours.

After Enderal and Archolos I should look more into fanmods. I really loved it.

I recommend the classic Fallout TCs- Resurrection and Nevada.

Somewhere down the line there's also going to be a translation for Fallout Sonora (plus a meaty expansion), Mutants Rising and Last Hope.

IIrc there is already a machine translation, are people actively working on translating it properly?

I think they have a Discord server.

Couple months ago project lead posted an update that they've finished more than there's left to do and if he had to estimate, in the worst case scenario (only him doing the rest of work) he'd finish before the end of 2023.

Obviously the expansion is going to add extra work for them.

Mutants Rising

I thought the team making this, really one guy left at this point, was like 6 months out from finishing it? Huge backlog of scripting work iirc.

Holy shit, anyone here killed Big Ben in fair combat? (i.e. melee combat, no spells or tricks).

I'm finding him fucking impossible, it's making me rage. He seems to have a two-attack combo that doesn't give you time to recover from blocking the first attack, meaning you're guaranteed to take damage. Maybe I'm just not as skilled at Gothic combat as I thought.

I know it's not required that you defeat him, but I feel that I must.

Really? I defeated him on arena in like two tries as far as i remember.

Yeah he was a pushover for 1h str melee at least. I may have hasted myself but I don’t even remember if Archolololos has scrolls of haste or not.

I didn't have any issues defeating him either, he could only hit me after using his knockdown move, which I think is avoidable too. Try backstepping instead of blocking, that way you shouldn't be in reach for the 2nd attack.

There's no haste, but there's a slow you can cast on him from a scroll.

 

[Mauman]

I beat him with a one-hand str melee. He did hurt me pretty bad though.

I oddly enough had more trouble killing him with my crossbow guy. Still got him eventually though.

 

[curds]

Damn, I guess I just need to git gud. Was kinda hoping everyone would agree that he's fucking hard and not hurt my ego as much.

Surely I am underlevelled or something. Haven't really had too much trouble with anything else in the game, so far.

 

[Abu Antar]

He is hard, but 1h strength build here, and I beat him after a couple of tries. Backstep is indeed a good tactic. If you're lucky, you'll get a few free hits in if you manage to stunlock him.

 

[Alphons]

2h Strength, Volker's armour, did majority of side quests and cleaned a good chunk of map. He got a few hits and got me to 50% Health, but I didn't use any scrolls against him.

Spoiler for the next main quest
