Alright got it to 1.75, game is running at 80-110 fps but often it drops to 5 fps and then jumps again. WTF? I got 4 gb ram and turned off virtual memory.

Look up font fix for Gothic 3. I don't really get it but it works for some people. Truthfully, you're probably just gonna be stuck with inconsistent fps. G3 just kinda does that

It's called stuttering, bro. Community Patch was meant to fix it but I get the same issues. Shame, because Gothic 3 is a great game.

It happens regardless of your rig because the game loads the whole world, it should stop stuttering in 10-20 minutes (every session)

Installing 1.75.14 patch solved stutter. I can have now steady 25-30 fps on med-high and 1280x1024 resolution. I also used 4gb patch from NTcore and turned of virtual memory. I think game now loads everything to ram.

You can just taunt and 1v1 the named orc to free the farmer.

Go to varant to learn dual wielding

Halberd is basically gonna be your beast killer until you're a god. Never sell it always wear it to travel. Seriously the combat is so broken that the halberd is your best weapon for a long time

After some playing got to lvl 19, here is my impressions:
-Good graphics
-Boring combat
-Boring quests (all the same get me item or kill/escort guy or kill monsters)

Overall i dont dig it.

If you don't play it for atmosphere, freedom and mystery, there's not much left to appreciate.

Nordmar is special and a crazy place. Easy to get lost, and hard to find anything. Superb atmosphere.

I'd withhold judgement until a little more experience with the game.

Combat is one of the worst i've experienced in crpg ever. Makes Nwn2 combat look fun.

Final nail in the coffin is that you can open inventory during even huge fights and eat 20x ham while time is freezed, and nobody will atack you. How retarded must be the devs?

Best way to play Gothic 3 is as a caster. Once you learn mana regen skill and a basic attack spell game becomes less of a chore. Some nasty AoE spells are especially good at late game for fast clear.

Bullshit right here. You put your weapon away, then the drinking animation starts and then you have your weapon back up. So you can't do it in the middle of a fight unless nobody is attacking you for a very long time, since those animations are quite loooooong.

Yeah either go caster, or archer if you're feeling a bit more adventurous. Going melee is just asking for a world of pain and tears and lots of reloading.

Not in my game. I hit "i" to enter inventory then orcs stop atacking and i chew as much meat as i can even tho they are just about next to me.

Whenever there is a Gothic 3 thread I remember the retarded way they did the special chest progression thing and that the master for dual wield is gated behind faction rep but you have 0 way of knowing that until it's too late and you fucked up your build.

So many years have passed and I'm still :butthurt:

FUCK YOU Piranha Bytes! Betrayers of the light...

I see that the community patch fixed your stuttering, but I'll mention anyways that SLI also caused stuttering for me, back when I ran 2x GTX 260s. So that's something to think about... if ever you start running SLI and your Gothic 3's stuttering returns.

I still don't understand why some people were AGAINST that. You want to spoil your replays by remembering the locations for the best loot? Or what?
