Weed in G2. What you think about it?
   

There outlook of weed is odd. Your vision doesnt get blurry like that. Things dont go in slomo unless you took holucinagins lol, but somethings do seems longer than usual. No im not starting a whole talk about weed nor do I want ne1 else to. Just tell me what your think about it.

I think youll find it supposed to be slightly humorous.

How would you suggest you represent the subtle effects of weed in a computer game?

It effects how you "feel", and since you dont "feel" anything that the character experiences, I dont see how else they could represent it...

Sorry, I don't have extensive experience with weed as you seem to have, so can't comment. Not that I care how it looks in the game, it's just a feature in the game, for fun, nothing else

actually ive never smoked weed, but my dads a cop, so I just know about it. That is a good point that you cant feel it, but maybe they could have shrooms so you holucinate lol.

Well nice story:
You probably know Dar, the mercenary that is smoking all the time. Well you can give him Dark Mushroom tabacco (you'll need to know some alchemy to make it). He goes completely wacko if you give. First he says all kind of things like: "Whoo, have you tried this stuff yourself man" "It's way too heavy" and afterwards he'll start floating like Abuyin when he gives you a prophecy and becomes totally high. So, Damelron it is the shrooms!

So I'd say they have some good stuff in Gothic.
Smoking it yourself in G2 is very funny, everything starts to change and distort. And fighting is really annoying after you've smoked too much.

well imo they made pretty nicely the effects what swampweed or something will do, u cant put the real effects in the game indeed when u smoke weed in reality . But the effect in the game is pretty cool , i hope they gonna make it for booze also like if u drink too much beer or wine u gonna get the same effects

Anyone know how to make weed in G2? I was told you can't do it in the first one but in the 2nd you can. I tried. I have a weed masher. some weed plants and one of those things you mash into and I sat there mashing and I didn't get any extra weed in my inventory. everything stayed the same.

Yes, if you know one potion and have a lab water bottle and raw swampweed, when you approach an alchemy bench, it gives you an option to process swampweed.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! LOL! man, boy do I feel stupid. At least I have some clean clothes now. ha. You're right. That IS a wierd way to do laundry. They should make circular motions really fast like a washing machine. ha. man, I'd be a genius in Khorinis. I'd do like demonstrations in the middle of the street with a before and after for both the mashing style and circular style like they do for detergent commercials. I'd be a god to them. lol jk.
