| Sleeper 2002 HIT RPG: Gothic |
|
All:
Ok, I've logged in about 20Hrs of total game time on Gothic. I am extremely taken aback by the quality of this title. I've played more hours than I can think of with NWN and Morrowind (both very good RPGs), and I can honestly say that this game has them beat. If it wasn't for NWN's D&D heritage and MP ability, it would get trounced by this title. It already beats out Morrowind in every way imaginable. I can't believe the realtime combat and action, the intriguing storyline, the numerous dialogue, the balancing items, magic, and potions. It's all there. I've just gotten into Chapter 2 and am loving every bit of the game. I'm increasingly becoming more powerful. Those Snappers are AWESOME!! I can't tell you how many times, I've tried to dispose of them, only for them to flank me from the rear and kill me! I finally got the opportunity to use the terrain to my advantage and snipe them from afar. LOL! That was even hard has sometimes, they would be able to climb up on hard to reach surfaces and kill me!
Clearly a HIT in my book and possibly the best RPG I've ever played!
One question I have though concerning the game - Even though I've joined the Old Camp - I still want to train and buy 2H weapons. Who trains with that (there seems to be noone in the Old camp)? And when will the 2H weapons become available to purchase?
Cheers,

Oh btw, I killed Bloodsoth because he was such an asshole. I hope that doesn't affect my relationship with the other guards.. I also had to kill Lefty for trying to make me feed water to the peasants, so I got rid of him and his flunky thugs and the Rice Lord (or whoever his name is). Now the peasants still work in the fields, but with no supervisors...LOL!! Love this game!!

NOOOO! You can learn two-handed from Thorus at the end of Chapter 2! After you defeat the... I would say more, but this is general forum. After you deliver the eggs you can be promoted to a gaurd or fire mage. Then as long as you are a gaurd and have mastered 1-handed, you can learn 2h.

Would there be a crime if I like certain weapons that men carry and I "take" them forcefully? hehehehe... Scar's scimitar looks incredible! Unless, I can buy that from somewhere, I may have to either steal his sword, or fight him for it...

Because he's level 80 and has 400 hit points. Oh right, and as long as he's in the possession of his sword, he dishes out a lot of damage.

shoot him with a bow from back by the doorway (not the one by gomez lol) and stand there, he'll pull out his crossbow ... rush him and hope you can beat him down before he kills you with his crossbow (you have to dodge the 2 shots before you reach him -- or maybe he just missed me) ... his crossbow is mean as hell but it's way slower than him with his sword ... he won't switch back to his sword if you jack him up like this ... i had to reload and fight him alot of times before i got this strategy to work but trying to fight him when he has his sword out won't work very well ... i did this with a rusty bastard sword and i was master with 1h weapons i think i was level 16 or 17 ... and i was very focussed in mainly str and 1h weapons .... |

Just beat him down for it! It may take a while, but it's worth it. His sword is the best one-handed weapon in the game, and his crossbow is the best erm...crossbow in the game.

I have to agree with you there, Gothic is a better RPG than both NWN and Morrowind. Morrowind could have been close, too bad its NPCs were kind of lifeless.
I do like both NWN and Morrowind, but neither holds a candle to Gothic. Best RPG I've played since the Fallout series. |
