Git gud, scrub.
But yeah, if you played it with the latest patch, he's been buffed.
BTW. Remember how in Gothic 1 Cor Kalom and Baals just vanished at some point? In the remake | Spoiler: | they actually set up a proper camp before they are able to enter the temple. |
I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail.

Yeah i got the latest patch. | Spoiler: | Didn't realize he had been buffed. The tick rate on the green hands is way overtuned, it does mutliple hits per second it seems like. I had him down to one hit but i had to roll around like a retard in circles. Reminded me of Witcher 2 tbh. |

I'm reaching the end of this. I had such a love hate experience with the remake.
On one hand it's Gothic and I'm so happy this got remade. They did put the effort into recreating as much as possible of the original experience. I'm glad to see the progressive road from beggar to hero unaltered. You can see that there was love put into this by some developers that were actual fans of the original game. It's success makes me hopeful for a Gothic 2 remake which I really want.
On the other hand, too often this game feels like a mod made by amateurs. There are so many bugs related to everything, so many questionable design choices and so many mechanics that are poorly implemented:
- The quest triggers constantly fuck up, which is mind boggling when this is not an RPG heavily based on choices and often the bugged triggers have nothing to do with choices (or not visible ones at least).
- The lockpicking system is a joke, the most stupid and time consuming puzzles for the worst loot.
- Vendors seem to forget what you sold to them after patches.
- The melee combat is probably some of the worst I've experienced in many years. Most animations are junky to say the least. The hitboxes are all over the place (the enemy attacks you with a 1h sword and reaches you, you attack back with a 2h weapon and miss by half a meter). There are actual input problems during melee fights, mostly when you fight on slops. The telegraphy of attacks is trash. The enemies have no weight to them, they just bounce around like acrobats (especially animals). The balance is too radical, you are either destroyed or you tank the damage as if it's nothing. The enemies track you mid-air. etc. I wasn't expecting the accuracy, snappiness and fluidity of Sekiro, but not junk either.
- The AI behavior is hilarious most of the time, reminds me of WoW or other MMOs.
- How is it possible for a singleplayer game in 2026 to have "input lag"? Pressing quickload has you waiting 3-5 seconds before the game starts loading. Pressing the load button from the menu sometimes doesn't trigger loading even after multiple attempts.
- Events behave like we are in the early 2000s. e.g. Damage triggering before the actual animation to make sure you can't get past an area. Really?! They couldn't do it another way? Loading want bring back the exact state of the world when you saved the game. These are just some examples of the outdated and/or immersion breaking way they approached various situations.
There's so much incompetence at play here and I wouldn't blame the younger audience if they just said "fuck this".
I have to say that this remake proves what a fantastic experience Gothic truly was (and still is), if it's so enticing against so many odds.

I disagree with lockpicking being a joke, it's probably the most interesting system I've ever encountered and serves as a little memory puzzle.
The rewards are a joke though,you open a 7 tumbler lock and there's 10 ore, an apple and two torches behind it  This was a problem in Gothic 1 too, and unfortunately they didn't fix it.
I'd understand if miners had nothing, since they don't, but even fucking Ore Barons keep one piece of silverware and moldy cheese in their chests?
