Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

Also pickpocket is a dead skill,it is totally useless,doubt that by the end of the game you will be able to pay its monetary investment. Tho the main reason that it is shit is because it doesn't give you xp,you have to invest like 30-40 lp and 2500 but get no xp return. Also the best money maker is the hunting if you get hunter apprenticeship,the carpenter is the second best..... maybe,don't know how well the meat guy pays.

Are spells that weak that you need to beeline for 4th circle rather than leaving that for endgame? Also how does the LP cost compare to other skills? I'm level 17 and haven't really invested almost anything into combat yet, so idk what the costs are

I don't know, as I've said I only have the first circle runes. I was talking about the total amount of LPs that you have to spend. I belive the game will end somewhere around level 50 and you will probably spend majority of the playtime around 20-35 level range, knowing that you have level up 20 times and "freeze" about 40% of your total LPs just to learn magic circles and alchemy alone is just sad.

Do you know how to enable Polish text and VO for standalone installation from GOG? I've downloaded this, applied latest G11 patch and game is Eng with no VO

I believe that you have to chose polish during the installation.

I've selected Polish during install, but this changed only the setup wizard language.

Pretty well. I'd be fucked if it wasn't for all the meat and fat i sold him. He buys meat, fat and seeds. He also sold me some rare herbs as a bonus.

I only kept all my boar meat for the stew that gives permanent +1 to health and some troll meat, because it could be useful for something.

I'm not sure if you can take crawlers shells in this mod. Learning how to gather turtles shells does not allow you to gather crawler ones.

Looks like I was either wrong about it or it was bugged for me, but I am able to get crawler's shells from their corpses now.

So which foods give you permanent gains?

I got a message that my health increased due to my varied diet, but I don't remember what I ate. I assumed it was because I ate a different variety of foods, rather than one specific food.

It's in the description and you are right it's because you ate different verieties of food there are special dishes you can make from alchemy ingridents that give permament bonuses to stats but it gives +3 bonus instead of +5 you get from potions.

Varied diet is a bit like the apple buff, seems to be based on how many different dishes you eat.

There are actually some foods that give perm buffs in their own right. Boar meat and wine stew gives a small HP bonus and there is a dragonroot stew which gives +3 strength similar to the potion. There are a ton of others as well.

The potions only give +3. The difference is they're much more efficient to craft than the food dishes.

Dragonroot stew requires 3 dragonroots to craft for example vs 1 for the potion.

It seems that it was a bug,i could get it till updated the version.

Are quests in this game time sensitive? Like healing your brother, helping the survivors in the cave, getting new meat for the cook. Or can I chill?

One or two are and it's very obvious which ones. The survivors in the cave are one of the only timed ones afaik. Nothing related to the main quest ever is, even when it says "today is the day of _____" you can just continue fucking around

The survivors in the cave were dead when I went there on day 3. I restarted the game and went there immediately on day 2, and they were still dead. So I figure that quest isn't time sensitive, they're just hard coded to die. At least if you follow your brother when washing ashore.

That's why I immediately reloaded and stayed in the cave when I realized the survivors would not come with me and my brother, and chose the "stay in the cave" option instead.

NEVER trust NPCs to survive on their own.

LoL chapter 3 is shit,a lot of scripted shit with no way to react and shit ton of immortal characters. Pretty bad design all around.

Goddamned NPCs

Seems kinda shitty to let our brother run off into the forest alone at night though. Family first. I guess there's negative repercussions from that decision as well.

Idk, does your brother get stung by a bloodfly and have a major sickness if you accompany him to town?

He does. We're worthless.

I guess sticking to the cave was the better option, then! Managed to keep everyone alive except for 3 people who are scripted to die.

I think only 3 people died in my game, as well. The daughter on the beach, and 2 people (a man and a woman who sat together on the ship) in the cave. The other survivors from the cave arrived in town on day 2 and said they had an easy time getting past the guard thanks to us.

Did 2 people die in the cave when you stayed there?

One of the men was dead on the beach on arrival and I could loot him. The old man's daughter is also dead on the beach and you can later do a quest to bury her.
Nobody dies in the cave, you get attacked by hungry lurkers but even if you don't do anything the survivors manage to gang up on them and defeat them with no issue.
The next day, one of your pals says that the woman stayed with her boyfriend and he wants you to help him rescue them. When you go there she is under attack but you manage to save her, the guy is dead though and you have to convince her to leave him behind.

Is that even a question? You have to be a special kind of a retard to decide to run around the jungles of a unknown island in the middle of the night after you swam x amount of kilometres in the ocean lol. Also lol at him being a retard,everyone says that it is a bad idea,come stay with you brother in cave and chill out till morning,and he is all 'yoloooooo' in to the darkness. Cant wait to kill his retarded arse late game lol,such a retard shouldn't be allowed to spoil our family name.

 

[Fargus]

Husband and wife both can die. You have stick with Fabios plan and stay in the cave for her to survive i guess? She died in my game, because i followed the brother-retardo.
Have to stand up for Timo in the ship prologue for him to survive. You miss nice sword that you can loot from his corpse if you do that. Plus he is pretty useless and did nothing in the game so far.
Have to convince Ezekiel to leave the beach for him to survive. My nephew who played the mod said he failed to convine Ezekiel and found him dead on the shore later. Ezekiel gives handful of experience if you do his quests and opens a merchant stall later on.

The funny part is that if you go there later you will find the heal potion you had to find,is used as a tombstone.

"Hey do you wanna come to town with me or stay in the cave with the others?"
"I think it's safer if we stay until morning."
"Lol ok I'll be going alone then LMAO"
