Well, if we had Dungeon Lords LP, why not having this one, too? At least it's a shorter game, apparently.

Playing for a while now it would actually make a good "baby's first RPG" if the story and dialogue weren't so fucking terrible. It would still be a disgrace to have Gothic 4 on the cover, of course.

Wow. Now 2009ers are flinging the newfag tag around. Puh-lease,

A year from now, you will have a one year membership... but I will have a two year membership. Suck on that. :smug:

Hey, if you don't see the brilliant logic there it must be a problem on your end. These people are professionals.

For those attempting to suffer through this game I highly advise the use of the combat camera mod here: http://forum.jowood.com/showthread.php?t=172798

It stops the game from zooming out into Titan Quest land when you are in combat, making it more like the original Gothic games. In addition to that it also makes the combat much harder and more involved, as you can't see when enemies are coming at you as well. Single enemies are still mind-numbingly easy but mobs becomes a somewhat greater threat.

I'd love to see a mod that removes the stupid zone structure, but that might be way too much to ask without mod tools.

It's way too much to be asked even with mod tools, because modders could actually start mod projects for good games. Although I haven't played Arcania so I don't know how shit/restrictive the engine is, but I think modding Risen would be a far more productive thing to do.

Well... yeah. Good call. It was sort of an arbitrary notion.
