I hate it when the monsters respawn too. It feels like a cop out, like the devs have to make less game if they make you fight the same fights over and over.

Yeah... I think there should be a solution for those who want all that extra skillpoints and build a super buff hero.
But I don't think a high respawn rate is the answer. In Gothic you can do the chromanin quests or spawn demons in the Sleepers Temple by turning the wrong switch. It was a good option, I feel.
This way people who want high experience can go on gaining it while others who just want to finish the game with minimum skill can also do so. |

Gothic respawn system was nice but it could better...
When my char had a good weapon and a lot of str/dex
killing monsters was easy and soon there wasn't a single monster
in the colony...they respawned when a new chapter started
but in chapter 6 I didnt wanted to kill anymore cause I felt
it would be stupid to have the whole colony empty and silent
[ Camps not included ]. There could be a way for those monsters
to respawn..but not too often.

Ja, laichen einige mit Monstrum in den logischen die Platze.
I can hear Jaz laughing  I am learning quick.
Well, I do not not know all the odd plurals of five types (Umlets too)objective nouns (with articles) in German - it say: Yes, spawn some with monster in logical place.
Well, I can get the understand across, more or less.
 I like to gain some extra experience if I wish to, but not monsters that are in the way of the plot so much.

Spawn some monsters in logical places?
Einige Monstren (~Ungeheuer) sollten an Orten respawnen (ummm... either there is no German verb used for respawning in games, or I haven't read about respawning monsters in German magazines in ages), an denen es logisch erscheint.
And no, I wouldn't laugh. Why should I?

I wonder if creatures move around more or will they be as stationary as G1? I think bloodflies would wander the furthest but this was still very stationary.
I am waiting for a game where groups of like-minded monsters perform their own un-scripted actions. Like a gang of orcs in a mountain fort swoop down upon a village one day, kidnap a few kids, steal some food, murder some locals... before retreating back to their lair. This would provide for unique dynamic quests and lots of fun! Hell I hope I am working on this game in the near future! |

As af as I remember the wolfs ran away in g1. If there was a pack of wolfs and you killed most of them, then the last living wolf started to ran away. |

I didn't like the Gothic 1 respawn system (at chapter breaks), since it felt artificial... some chapters took much more game time than others, but even if you finished a chapter in a few hours suddenly the monsters were all there again. To me the "right" kind of respawn would be gradual and measured in game time. So, in the spot where you killed all the scavengers, after a few days there'd be another scavenger there, then gradually several others would join it... possibly with slower rates for larger monsters.
Even more realistic, I guess, would be to have existing monsters move around to take over any "territory" that became vacant, add it to their own, and start patrolling it. Vacant spots at the edges of the gameworld would be filled by new monsters. But then you lose the strategically important aspect of having monsters at particular locations. |
