Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[Justicar]

bros, how do i get into this?! i can get on top of that big rock outcrop above it, but there is a stone arm going over the top that prevents you from dropping down onto the ledge. does a clime-able object fall on the ledge after chapter 3 or something??

This is quest location you will get there in chapter 4.

How challenging is game?

For casuals or actually worth playing?

I love the gothic formula. seeing something like that hidden cave entrance instills a "challenge accepted, game" mentality that makes you want to climb the most unclimbable surfaces to try to get at some secret. it's unfortunate that such a gameplay loop is occasionally incompatible with gated content / story.

it's pretty tough for people that don't like to read (like, a thread).

i'd stay away

Finished it after about 80 hours, what can I say except what a fucking masterpiece. The fact that it got made in this degenerate clown world we live in now is a miracle that we should all be thankful for.

How is difficulty for this game?

Requires minimum effort, so too difficult for a typical vatnik.

Between vanilla G2 and NotR, much closer to the first. Although there is talk of a hard mode coming in a patch sometime in the future..

East of the main Amber Coast beach, up a small hill is a locked door. There are hostile 'smugglers' that draw weapons behind. (you can summon creatures behind the door to engage them but they appear invulnerable). I'm in Chp5, so the beach has cleared. Is this related to a Merchant faction questline?

 

[JarlFrank]

Game is hard at the start, stays challenging until you become a demigod who wrecks everything in two hits.

Same as original Gothics.

 

[JarlFrank]

Is this related to a Merchant faction questline?

Yes, the final one.

 

[Raskens]

Holy shit! Is this for real! It's actually as good as the originals (G1 and G2)?

If you kill a protected NPC (KOd Helga near the edge of the dock and she fell into the water) game will display a Morrowind message about killing a protected NPC and having to choose to load game or persisting in doomed timeline. It was in English despite me playing in Polish.

They should have enabled you to kill every NPC and display that message if you do, rather than making them immortal.

They should have enabled you to kill every NPC and display that message if you do, rather than making them immortal.

First they would have to actually adjust who gets the "essential" status. There's no reason for city guard #2048 and random travelling merchant #4364 to be immortal. If they actually displayed that message we would play in a constant state of paranoia.

Not as good as originals, better

There's no reason for those guys to be immortal in the first place.

Spoiler

What i found most retarded regarding the invincibilty is that evil alchemist in the sewers who wants to create a rat army. (It's a guard quest.)
You can decide to kill him on the spot or let him show you his laboratory.
If you decide to go with him he just becomes invincible and that's it.
Kinda lame.

 

[Sloul]

agris you can climb a bit further on the right side, then navigate to jump onto the opening. But it's not easy. There is a bit of loot inside.

Yeah anyone who can be killed in a quest becomes immortal as soon as you decide to let them live.

Nope you can still rat him out to city guard.

Since there is an achievement for it, I think I missed a quest regarding the Valerio Brothers and a will. Is that Merchant as well?
I did complete other quests there regarding a poisoning, the slacker nephew, and the Volker ambush.

You missed that one, it's not faction specific.

Mod is better than original game?

To call it a mod is unfair really. Like calling New Vegas a Fallout 3 mod, or Fallout 2 a Fallout 1 mod. It's an entirely separate, full scale game.

 

[Maggot]

Considering they're reusing the engine, all of G2's assets, and just slightly tweaked the gameplay, it's not an entirely separate game, but one built off the original with the convenience of having all the time in the world to finish the project and not having to start from scratch.
