Gothic is a gem of a bargain bin score for me, tho I must admit at first I was about to toss the disk out my window! Time is valuable and Im not wasting it on some sub-par POS, so Im fairly cranky when a game comes across bad upon first play. The manual is pretty vague, and the inventory system confusing at first. Also, the controls were horrible. Alas, I was reassured when I simply reconfigure to my liking, to incorporate the mouse for looking and directional. jumping and attacking, and the keys for the rest. Non reconfigurable controls will fast kill a game for me, Im very set in my ways. Thus was the quick death of Summoner. After cranking the rez up to 1024 32 bit, I was starting to see the potential of this otherwise initially unimpressive and frustrating game.
As for the personality in the game, thats obvious from the first time i drew my weapon on a local, just to have them draw their own and warn me. Never one to pass up the chance to observe a games death animations on the first play or two, I found that to my delight my new toon was struck down immediately and in a most brutal fashion. They even went thru my pockets! Love it, this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I like the jumping distance too, can really get some air. _________________ “Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving.”-Mark Twain |

lol, Sam you have sooooo much fun ahead of you. And you are 100% right about the first part of your post, the default configurations are horrible but one can tell just from the initial 5 -10 min of gameplay that this game has mucho potential, so you reconfigure as much as possible and forge ahead.
When I played the demo I think I played it for about 6hrs of total gametime before I realized how to move items from player to vendor and back. |
