  1. Gothic I, worth it?

    Gothic 2 has two combat control systems. The one you described is the pussy mode. It may even be the default in a couple of versions. The classic G1 mode can be activated in the options. A good recommendation. It's worth repeating: Without the skill your character holds his sword like a...

  2. Preview Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga Previews

    Larian will release a technical update to bring ED + FOV to the level of DKS. A content patch to make ED + FOV = DKS is not confirmed. They want to make it, although it will break the savegames, but they need permission by their publishers. So it's not in Larian's hand. FOV is a good...

  3. Review Venetica, light on the RPG

    I spent ca. 30 hours on my first run through. Then 20 and counting on the second, but there's not much left. Maybe another 5 hours. I'm actually quite happy the developer decided against blowing the game up with filler material. Stability of the retail version is fine IMHO. Maybe the guy who...

  4. Review Risen runs without misfires

    The WoR article also includes a detailed hardware chapter based on their experience with the 4 review copies they got. Their results are not really similar to those at PCGHW.

  5. Preview Venetica is visually enticing, but the story seems shallow

    I've already finished Venetica. It's exactly the other way around: Story, many dialogs and some of the NPCs are interesting. The visuals are quite pleasing at first glance, but if you look a little closer you see minor glitches everywhere, low res textures, some texture flickering (only...

  6. Review RPG Watch double teamed Drakensang

    That reference.com should work on their latin? ;)

  7. Review RPG Watch double teamed Drakensang

    :lol: I fought hard with our editor, but it insisted on starting a new paragraph when a pic is embedded. The only way to bypass it would have been to post the pics at the top of a paragraph.

  8. Preview Lo and behold, choices and consequences in Divinity 2

    It's dtp's senior PR manager.

  9. Gothic III: am I doing something wrong ?

    Ogres should be no problem if you use some of the special ammo you find. Fire or detonating arrows are fine. It could be worth learning how to make this kind of ammo. You'll need them in masses.

  10. Company News Ascaron kick the bucket over Sacred 2

    A crucial point could be the time it takes the revenue to filter though to the developer. It's not unusual for big retailers to have payment targets of 1 or even 2 quarters. That's 3-6 months until the money arrives on the publisher's account. Then the publisher could also demand a couple of...

  11. Preview Piranha Bytes Puts Up a Risen FAQ

    The newsbit is incorrect. The FAQ was posted by the World of Risen fan site, not by Piranha Bytes. PB posts (almost) daily on their forum, so the content should be correct.

  12. Game News Drakensang English demo released

    I played it on an X2 4000+ (2* 2 GHz) with 2 GB RAM and a GeForce 9600GT. Max. details on 1024*768, high-res texture pack (not included in the demo!), 4* AA, 16 AF. The performance was pretty good everywhere. This is in line with the dev's claim that you need a GeForce 8800 for full details...

  13. Development Info Sacred 2 introduces Copy Protection Minigames

    The correct procedure is: deactivate, upgrade, activate. Uninstall and reinstall are not necessary. As you can see on that server site all you have to do is copy & paste a few serial numbers. As posted in the official forum by one of their managing directors you can actually replace two parts...

  14. Game News Successful sales = expansion + sequel for Drakensang

    That´s right. They had a little bit of luck though. When the hype was much bigger then expected dtp realized they had aimed too low and granted them 9 additional months of polishing. Better late than never. One of the RL bosses revealed in a speech at a dev conference that initially the...

  15. Game News Successful sales = expansion + sequel for Drakensang

    Radon Labs is actually one of the bigger German studios. They have more than 90 employees. ;) In my summary I left out the 2nd half of both articles. The RATCON is the official DSA exhibition. Every single visitor is a DSA fan. Radon Labs explained honestly why certain decision were made. Many...
