I don't know what your problem is. Cannot handle discussions?

See, there is quality trolling, and then there are just outright stupid/incorrect statements.

Hear hear. So you are saying that the 1st person Gothic games...

You are really not helping your own case here.

Again, who cares whether you look at his butt or not? It is close enough to 1st person games.

HUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRR

Drogs gonna Drog

heights of discussion in this thread. heights.

The real question Codex should be asking is if Lady Error is actually a lady

 

[Lady_Error]

Wow, so there are still people butthurt about me saying Gothic games play similar to 1st person games. Just wow.

Clockwork, welcome to my ignore list.

That sure is the real question the Codex should be asking... Or is it whether Infinitron should get out more?

In any case, great discussion, guys.

 

[Infinitron]

Hmmm....

 

[Diablo169]

Hmm no more tentacle rape spell?

I think we are seeing the spell being formed.

Vertical Slice Dungeon:

Spoiler

Insider spoiler leak: you see those red-stained steps before the gate with a circular chamber behind it and the "power generator" sort of chamber further behind which was shown in more detail in a recent screenshot? Those red stains are blood having leaked from the chamber behind those gates which is a sacrificial chamber where mass sacrifices are held to harvest souls which the "power generator" collects, for a purpose related to the "supernatural disaster" the player character will witness at the beginning of the game. Also within the same complex are cells where people are held before the execution. It's one of many similar dungeons built for the same or similar purposes. Another one of those is the Animat factory.

Don't shoot the messenger

Defiance Bay looks kinda like Baldur's Gate.

That is exactly what it looks like.... and the most expensive

I actually thought that was an early concept piece of Baldur's Gate.

omg, they really all look the same...

 

[Grotesque]

Best cRPG map ever designed

You spent the last few hours looking for a picture, and all you could come up is this? This is not a city, it is a small village. You can't compare it to Baldur's Gate or Defiance Bay.

Josh Sawyer has already stated that the P:E map was blatantly copied from inspired by The Dalelands from Forgotten Realms

Not as bad as the way imp design in Oblivion was blatantly copied from inspired by Brom's.

That's Khorinis, a city, not a small village. If you go by content volume, it's comparable.

I was talking about the size of the settlement.

Then go and do your work you lazy slacker.

Ahem.

Well, first of all Gothic is not 1st person.

Oh please. Whether you look at his butt or not, it is still a 1st person 3D game.

Got no sympathy for backpedaling weasels.

 

[villain of the story]

Hmmm....

Good catch.

Just noticed all the castle/town icons on the new map. So I guess those are the areas of interest / fast-travel locations. If that's right, I gotta say I'm impressed with the scope of the game. I didn't think we would get to explore the entire map.

Note that some of the icons are 'filled in' while others are still dark. Could be a clue as to the initial story path. I'm guessing we'll start out at the Bay of Crowns / Steel Crown Tower, and then travel through the Bael Marsh, into the Dyrwood and towards the Lake of Drowned Tombs.

Looks like we'll get to travel to some of the islands

I think you are right. It never occurred to me that this is the actual in-game map. It looks gorgeous.

Fuck you and your Gothic. People like you who comb through old threads to dig up meaningless shit are just pathetic...

And yeah, you're on my ignore list now too. I'm starting to like this function.
