Fixes a lot of bugs, some of those more annoyinhg ones ( like xp bug- you have 980/1000xp for next level, kill something worth 300xp, get only 20 ) and needs official patch 1.1. |
Nice find!

So, for a first playthrough, just use the unofficial patch ?

I've reached the Harbour town and I have some questions.
1) Why do I see 3 attacking spells in the character page ? That's all there is ?
2) Who should I join for an initial playthrough ?
I'm generally not sure what to aim for in my character development. Axe, fireball ?

Just for starters.
There are three classes in the game
1. Bandit: Sword/Axe - Scrolls
2. Inquisition Guards: Staffs, Srolls - Offensive Spells
3. Mage: Staffs, Runemagic (same as scrolls but you can use them all the time) & Offensive Spells
I'd recommend going to the bandits first before doing the harbour quests and choosing a side. It's going to be a bit more difficult in the beginning but you will have the maximum of quests (and Skillpoints) available to you.
Yes, there are only three offensive spells available, allthough they become better (faster, greater, more effective), but you will learn other spells (like levitation, or transform into a nautilus) if you become a mage.
If you become an inquisition guy, you will be able to use those offensive spells alongside bigger staffs. The other spells will only be available through scrolls.
If you become a bandit, you wont be able to learn the offensive spells, but you will be able to use and create scrolls. Also this class will be able to train in swords and axes to their highest level, which isnt available to the other two.
I suggest playing the bandit first. But you can choose to do otherwise.
If you want to play mage, make the bandit camp quests first, and then the harbour, as with every class, but try not to expend to many skillpoints in swords/axes, before you actually learn the offensive spells. Also it is recommended to only invest in one of the three offensive spells. All three have their benefits but Ice is best suited for Inquisition guys, because you can freeze the enemies before spamming strikes.

I'm already in the harbour town. Seems I can't get out for now. Maybe I should just join the Inquisition and be a badass battlemage as soon as possible.

I find some duels impossible, because I've only improved Strength 5 points and no weapon. If I wanna be a mage, then I should wait till I can put points on Staff, right ? I won't be using swords/axes, right ?

I was an axe wielding mage. Overpowered, if you ask me....

It will probably be useful to put in a few points in a weapon skill before getting a staff.
In Gothic you only had the option to become a mage after the first chapter, so you had to invest in weapon/strength even if you wanted to be a pure mage later on. Same applies here.

Ok, I escaped from the city but where the fuck is the bandit camp, I found the monastery, the volcano keep and some routes filled with monsters I can't handle.
I'm at that farm right now.
Why. Doesn't. The. Map. Have. Names.

Yeah they should add the quest marker from Oblivion.
Hand-holding, where art thou?

I did the tour but then got inside the city at once. Following the road, where the fuck is it, after the city rear entrance ?
I don't need a quest marker, I need an actual map with actual names.
EDIT: Ok, I had to backtrack from the fucking farm and spoke to Jan, who walked with me there.

Heh, it was night when I was at that Jan's house and I didn't exhaust all the dialogue options, I continued to the farm, which felt like the end of the "tutorial part" of the game. So I took for granted that the rest of the game was afterwards.
P.S.: Maps should have names.

Then there's smaller areas like Tribunal having the blood dart gang or what it was doing 1000 poison damage or some such (Over a period of long time, in total.) to challenge high level players. 
Gothic 1 had similar problems as well before you had scouted the area better though I had few issues navigating around in Gothic 2 from what I remember.
EDIT: And those mushroom Telvanni towers were hell to navigate as a warrior build. |
Toughest one for me was finding that azura shrine (or whatever it was) that only opened at dawn (or was it dusk). Had to look online for that one.
But I was replaying it recently and was surprised how obscure even starting quests were. They tell you a general direction, and few landmarks, but don't mention you need to walk a freaking mile before reaching them. It's all part of its charm ofc.
All the hand guiding in recent games made me forgetful of how it used to be.

I couldn't get into Morrowind cause of the vague descriptions at the start. I remember walking and walking and then a huge bird killed me. I also remember some bullshit piece-by-piece armor system and random potion making.
lol. no thanks. Not after playing the KOTOR games and Jade Empire.
But Oblivion + mods (especially to get rid of the autolevelling crap) = awesomeness
