I'm at that elder quest now, damn those ghosts. Did you get a map yet. A key M should open a map but it seems you need to buy it first or maybe they just forgot to implement it. The quest log book is also complete crap, instead of a detailed description of a quest you are given 1 shitty sentence, skip through a dialog to quickly and you are left clueless.

Ha ha - Yes very true! No map for M on keyboard & I haven't seen amyone to buy it off. went to Dead Marshes & gave staff of something to the witch. Searched round Lost Lake to kill a rogue mage - never found him. Now in Castle Ulm & have killed everyone bar a f***king ghost that freezes you with a spell & my sword/bow cannot touch his ass. Arghhhh!! I'm playing as Urgoth male & have excellent combat stats/armour/etc.
The game is beginning to depress me now with its repetative nature & complete lack of NPCs. Most of the time you wander round on your own then the screen freezes for 3 seconds while they warp in a few enemies to waste. I got that 20 wolves attacking at once - but bested it in Catsle Ulm - you get attacked by 30+ Tomb Scorpions !!!!!
Those archers/soldeirs sure are thick - I manouever them into a line & then the guys at the back shoot up their own troops(!) durgh. Also the quest log for me has 2 quests still in it that I have completed(!) I think I'm going to stop playing this sorry excuse for an RPG & wait for Gothic 3, DS2 & Morrowind 4

It's as if the developers had no time to incorporate any populace. It just lacks any sense of immersion.
if only they had spent more time polishing this baby, it'd have been an awesome RPG. |
Thats one thing I love about gothic, how alive the game world feels. |
agreed.are they planning any more sequels?i installed this game but its far too unfinished and as said the place is deserted in terms of population like a ghost town.

TheBugulous: so what is your opinion now? Is the game worth trying with 1.1 patch? Could you write a mini-review?

Well its a time-waster till the big 3 (DS2, Gotic3 & MW4) come out 
Advantages - lovely animation (especially Slimes  ) & interesting monsters, fairly good levelling up process with feats, etc, nice outdoors though Gothic 2 is the best, increased graphic resolution works with patch 
Disadvantages - boring gameplay, repetative combat - click, click, click, architecture is ugly - all blocky, almost no NPCs in towns & 0 NPCs in outdoors, screen freezes for few seconds while monsters are generated, some trials are very tough - Elf trial & Castle in Ulm trial, Equip screen is a bit crap - few keyboard shortcuts for health potions, etc, Quest screen is complete crap & has a few broken quests (once completed they still stay as active quests), no Map feature for most selected characters - utter madness (!)

Well completed Faverham Catsle-Ulm & it was a bastard! All I say is look out for buttons

Well got elven sword of speed, blade dancer ring & other goodies. Once you complete Faverham castle you complete 3-4 quests. Good 1 coming up - go to some spectral castle. Saw the drake - west of apothecary arindale. Tough beast to kill!
Got the marauder class now & can dual wield light weapons * get sneak attack - looks pretty cool in combat

Even if you select max view distance in the game options, there is still heaps of fog. How do you manually increase the view distance in this game so there is no culling whatsoever?

Maybe they couldn't stand all this bitching about their bug-ridden game... That's lame. At least they should be brave enough to admit mistake. This game needs some serious patching even after 1.1 patch. There's no automap? And no by design, but because it was so broken that they decided to disable it? Come on. Last time I had to draw maps was when I was playing Eye of Beholder on my Amiga... Something like 15 years ago.

Now i don't know what to do
In my quest log it says: "Go to Tomb of Souls and speak the words 'AVAT DEMONICUM'. Well i'm at the gates of Tomb of Souls, but I can not enter. I can not speak the words. Only "Let me in", but then he says...Go away!
I got other quests too. But i don't know how to finish any of them.
I am done with the KNIGHT quest. Now I have one "Fighter quest" i think. Go find a guy, kill him and free another. But it dosn't say where i should go
So now i just run around, killing stuff and hoping to get on with the game...
Btw, Valdane is free and I got his blood in the "tube". But what do i do now?
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34..
