Looks like Jowood pulled a Gothic3 on Arcania again. While I know they had financial problems its just typical of them. They had to speed up the devloping process in order to make quick money, which is why this is again a half baked game. Cut out elemental Gothic RPG elements (npc interaction, crafting, alchemy etc.) and cut out content etc. and put in invisible barriers and tunnel levels for easier playthrough and less work on the world interaction etc. and leave just enough to have a playable game that looks good but is empty inside. Gothic is dead and Arcania never lived.

Well, I was bored as shit after entering that harbor town in Risen. Swamp section was great though. Guess it's matter of personal taste.

Nope.
It's a stone cold fact.

hmm when i use the demo crack thing, my game exits with an error in the cutscene right after killing the queen spider or whatever it is, in the cave in beginning of the game (tutorial island?)


Same thing here, everything else up until that works perfect. I like the game so far..

Anyone know a fix?

Well the later areas are finally getting a bit larger in size and it feels more open (Though it isn't really.) I'll finish the game in time for the weekend I think and then it's Fallout Vegas next (Monday/Tuesday next week wasn't it?) followed by Two Worlds 2 and possibly Divinity 2 FoV.

Silverlake region.

I keep hearing people talk about Two Worlds 2 but I thought it wasn't arriving until January at the earliest? I don't think it is coming out this month or anytime too soon but I would love to be proved wrong. I can't wait to go sailing in that game. Very Happy

AF I think was selectable (But I force 16x as usual.), EXE can be renamed so AA should be doable that name though the only other game with this version of Vision-7 (The game engine.) is Settlers 7 (Vegetation shaders and certain stuff like rock detailing is very familiar to how it looks in Settlers 7 actually.) though the generic stuff like Oblivion.exe or Crysis.exe or FarCry2.exe for Crossfire/SLI performance and AA will probably work just as well for MSAA or SSAA with or without extra techniques or filters, I've not tried it though but nothing should hinder it.

There are a number of sidequests of course but they usually take part in the region you are in so they're rather short and I haven't found all that many of them, some tie in to the main story quest as well though so the quest log fills up rather quickly.

EDIT: In several EU regions TW2 will be released towards the end of October, multi-language Royal edition is amongst these, US and other EU regions have the release scheduled for Q1 2011, possible January or early February I guess, meant to improve Q&A and thus will be patched and improved, unsure how the default 1.0 version will be but it can't be as bad as Two Worlds 1 was before 1.5 can it?

EDIT: In regards to AF the tiling and streaming nature of the engine also makes distant terrain a bit blurry, easy to notice when you look for it, draw distance for finer details like that is pretty short and I've not found a good way to increase it.

Those are just Daedroths erh Snappers (EDIT: Lurker?) I mean. Very Happy
(You could kill "monsters" in G3 that kinda looked like the T-rex though and the snapper is a bit like a mix of alligator - Also in G3 - and lizard - which was also in G3 - man that game had a big bestiary but it made the three regions diverse and interesting.)

EDIT: As to be clear though Snappers, Bloodflies, Molerats and Scavengers have been in Gothic since the beginning.
(They look a bit different in the later games though and even more different in Arcania, though Arcania has the Bloodfly look quite a bit better than that red thing in Gothic 3.)

Thank you sir for proving me wrong. Laughing

I doubt it will be that bad but surely it will have bugs, hopefully none too game breaking. I loved Two Worlds even with it's bugs so I have high hopes for this one.

It's zoomed in somewhat, posted on the previous page is the full size.

Here.

EDIT:

(Took ages but I've cleared Silverlake of nearly everything, repetetive but now it's done.)
(It rains every fifth minute which gets old fast as well, effect is nicely done though.)


(Found your pouch or something.)


(More like a Varan or some such larger reptile, wonder where this ingredient will be used.)


(For some funny reason all these lode deposits glow softly until harvested, though plants and collecticles use similar methods from butterflies to a glowy aura though many items can be hard to spot without the UI such as weapons and misc items.)
