Now see...that’s a good post. Gor Na Katarn did not shoot any ones idea down in one way or the other. He had an idea on the subject and made a post. I like the idea about the handgun too...I would add the requirement of learning a high order of alchemy also. After all, not everyone ran around making black powder. I would make shields a learning step in Blacksmithing. Maybe in between low end swords and the higher end Ore based weapons. One of the major things I like about Gothic is its freedom of choice. But like everything…it comes at a cost.

My thoughts exactly. If you block and have a shield equipped, you use the shield. If you have no shield, you raise your sword.

ps nice ideas about the pistols!

The game has to go somewhere…in G2 they introduced cannons into the game and while they were not functional they were there. That pin-head of a traitor that hitches a ride to the island with you even tell you that he is a pretty good shot with one. So at least cannons have been introed into the game. I also remember someone else saying how the Paladins were worried about how they were going top keep the Orks from storming the city gate or wall. It seems to me that combat is evolving in Gothic.

I think that primitive muskets would be a nice addition to Gothic's armoury, people are saying that Gothic's indivudality being ruined if shields are introduced, I think that adding muskets would make it even more unique. I think that most peole would think that "handgus" would involve people walking with Glocks in their belts to tell you the truth.

Ok…I think we (almost) agree that shield would be and could be a workable solution in a future release of Gothic, but only if it was a choice that you could make. That way people who would like to play with shield could and those that didn’t wouldn’t.

After my last post about the cannons in Gothic, my curiosity has been piqued about the whole situation…I mean, do you think PB would throw cannons into the game with a story behind it as eye candy only? Or are they there to introduce the idea of cannons being used in G3 or 4?

Or is the whole story about fighting naval battles against the Orks a big fat lie like the sign posted by the alien dwarf?

i think its a lie, because if they had working cannons then people would push harder for muskets, and i serriously doubt that gothic would work out to be as much fun as it already is, after all the sound of the gun would be almost as bad as the harpie's last scream and i know everyone knows how annoying the harpy scream is

Now that could work! You know, made by some crazy alchemist with nothing better to do . I don't think that the controls would allow it though.

I didn't mid that Harpy scream, but its a matter of opinion.
