our nameless hero
   

i've been woundering about a few things about our hero ..
what do we really know about him ?
we dont know his name
we dont know why he was thrown in jail
do we even know his age?
or where he comes from ?
is he from the city or where

me thinks it would be nice if it was possible to find the old orchish profecys xardax speaks off

does anyone have a clue about any of this ?

I dont belivethat we are supposed to know this, and i dont think were ever gonna find out in anny of the Gothic Games. Its all part of the wonderfull mystery of the World of Gothic.

I think the player is "you"

You controll the player, if you want to beat up a helpless scraper or digger, then that is "you" so the way you play is a reflection of "yourself" therefore the pc-hero must be nameless, from no-where, born anywhere, ageless.

Well you are right except of being yourself. It is not being yourself, but being who you could be or want to be

Yeah titus thats right,

Your playing the "role" of him (pc-hero) but it's "yourself" who makes the decisions, he can't think, you can.

Let's make a list of the things we do know about him.

we know he has been accused of a crime and was found guildty and was thrown into the collony (he might have been innocent but was still judged and thrown into the collony innocent).

We know he spend 2 months in some dungeon before he was thrown into the collony (he tells this to Kirgo in the Old Camp).

We also know from Gothic 2 That he isn't from Khorinis nor has he been in a cell there because no one recognize hi, accept the one who came out of the VoM

We know he is the man in the orcish prophecies and the chosen of innos. That dungeon must have been on Mainland.

Maybe he was the man who killed King's wife .. who knows ..

All I want to believe is that I am the hero!
I'm not helping him to destroy the barrier, I'm the one who must destroy the barrier. I'm not helping him to solve the quests, I'm the one who must solve the quests!!!
I don't see that he's blond, I don't see his long hair, I'm seeing me!
That's what GOTHIC gives me : The feeling of me being thrown in unknown!

@Uocjat,

wulf ..

i dont know about you but im not too sure about the thinking part



Do you mean he can think? or do you mean there are parts in the game where he answers some dialogues automatically ?
