| New guy to Gothic, help and advices needed! |
|
Hello everyone, i´m new to these forums and new to Gothic games.
I´ve been watching these games for some time now and at last decided to buy them.
Now, for what comes to Gothic 1, i find it a bit...too big and open for me and because of this i would like to recieve some advice and help from you more expirienced players. I also tried to search a similiar former discussion, but failed so i made a new one.
So, i´ve currently visited of course the old camp and sect camp. New camp is still to be discovered. I´ve made only a thing or two this far, but already i´m feeling a bit loss...I don´t have any money, everything costs a lot of money, i´ve learned that skinning animals etc is a good way to make your liviing, but to learn those skills also need some money...So, what would be the proper way to begin my long journey in Gothic? Any help is much appreciated!
Last, forgive my bad english, but i´m not a native english speaker

Nah youst try eksploring for a while its the best part of the Game. and if my memorie is korrekt theres a hunter on the way to New camp that kan teach you skinning for free,
also in New Camp you kan gett free diggers pants (first armor).
And look my english is worse than yours.

Hey there Animalenemy,
Welcome to the friendly forums.
What you have said brings music to my ear's, you have no money, no armour, no skills, no good weapons, fantastic , that's just as it should be, now you will live on your instincts, you will learn by yourself, slowly at first, then in ever increasing stages till you become a super hero and save the world.

Hi there Wulf and thanks for the warm words.
I see where you are getting at..So i should learn the things in this world through my own expiriences...Won´t be an easy task, because of the "so open world" etc. But i´ll certainly try.
(A bit off topic right now i´m mostly concentrating my time to Gothic 2 because it makes the start a bit easier for a new player, but i´m thinking maybe i should after all try to stick with the original and try to get the hang of it.)

If you have the time, I would play through G1 first. Just talk to everyone, see who is who and who can do what at first. As Wulf said, it will suddenly start to take off on you. Just pay attention to who is in what camp so you can find them later. Try not to join a sect until you have to. G1 lays some of the story lines you read in G2 but is not necessary to enjoy that game. I though G1 was much easier myself in the opening chapter than G2. Walk, talk and explore. Your first missions are just around the bend.

What makes Ghotic so special, is not money to buy items or something, but to know how to fight or how to use your skill points or how to resolve the quests.
For that you have to explore and you'll see that you'll find free items, free armor, free weapons etc...
Personally I've finished the game using less than 3000 ore and I remained with more than 20000 ore unused.
Good luck!!!!!!

Uocjat, i know i made the right choise by bying these two great games.
I haven´t doubted that for a single moment, but Gothic 2 just seemed a bit easier for a newcomer to start with. But as i said before, í haven´t given up with G1. I´ll surely return to it.

Man, I remember how fabulous it was playing Gothic before I'd completely memorized its world!  Definitely play Gothic first! It will make the Gothic 2 experience much more satisfying! As for money, there are many ways to make it. You could try beating up and robbing diggers, doing quests for people, making and selling swords, and you can always kill animals and sell their meat (cook it first; it gives meat more value).
