Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[agris]

Alphons you have to stop this madness, i'm a man with a family and a job... the mods. they just. keep. coming.

 

[Mauman]

It's an artistic choice to use slow motion in this battle, just like in "300".

Good Lord, that poor game engine.

Made me laugh though.

edit - also, as an after thought, I feel like this game is warping my sense when it comes to rpg loot.

Going into the Fire Mage house to steal stuff - a couple of potions, scrolls....cool.

A bowl full of apples? HOLY SHIT YES!!!

 

[HoboForEternity]

rob the apples in valerio vineyard and make several dozen of apple pies. become as gods.

There is also a trader who sells ony apples in the port district of the city I got about 60 apples from him before he said his stock is empty. (you get +750 exp if you buy all the apples from him)

 

[HoboForEternity]

i guess big ben ate almost all the apples in archolos

He only sold me 4 or so for the day and told me to come back tommorow. I did and he wasn't there.
I'm still hoping he'll show up again. Granted, I'm still in chapter 2 so maybe that's why.

But yeah, I've LONG since gotten the Valerio Vineyard apples.

Next up is trading every single gold nugget for snack packs in the mines. Just got to get a little bit stronger so I can beat up the guards that DARE think they can have some of my precious snack pack nuggets.

Without trying to alarm you, if after resting for two days he is still not at the spot in the poor quarter, your save is corrupted.

I feel a little empty. I am in the last "big dungeon" of the game and the usual Gothic weariness has set in -- when you are so strong that you do not even bother eating apples anymore, or spending your last few LP, or killing every enemy on the map. I feel content. Soon it will be over. It was glorious.

Well...guess I should be thankful he just showed up


That's kinda scary....any other signs of corruption I should be looking out for?

 

[agris]

I’m right there with you Jasede, I chased the dragon and now it’s time to come back to earth.

this mod is fentanyl while gothic 1 & 2 are merely heroine.

Missing npcs are always a problem.

 

[Jasede]

Just NPCs disappearing. But it is easy to confuse with NPCs just being somewhere due to a bounty, quest or their schedule, so you can't rely on this as your only tell. But that's the major giveaway, as well as NPCs that are supposed to start a conversation with you not talking to you automatically.

Wow, you are an ancient poster. This mod has us great old ones coming out of the woodwork, huh? I love how your avatar suits your post. It was great to experience this adventure together, friend.

So after almost 100 hours I finished it. It's been nice to have a game so well done that I could just binge on it nonstop to the end. If PB had any sense they'd cancel the remake right now and just have these guys make games in the Gothic 2 engine. Easily the best RPG of 2021.

PB has no control over it, unfortunately. THQ no-dick passed it to some new studio from spain.

sad.

Question for the non-Poles- how would you rate the humor?

I find it hard to translate some of my own jokes, so it would be interesting to learn whether the mod team managed it.

Separate topic are references- some of them reference international memes like the Oblivion Potion Seller

Spoiler

or the Oh shit, I'm sorry

Spoiler

But there's also plenty of obscure references to Polish memes, like the Polish dubbing of Asterix and Obelix movie

Spoiler

Do you think they're subtle enough to not notice them or did you know that they're a reference to something you don't understand?

 

[Konjad]

I'm a Pole and I still haven't noticed many references to our pop-culture because I've never watched Asterix or most other memes

I just sometimes thought of them as odd writing. I learn about these memes in this topic that I started reading after I finished archolos

 

[Jasede]

The non-meme humor is pretty relatable to me, being East German by birth location and from my mother's side. There's a certain honest plainness to it. The mod is very much like Fallout 1 (not 2) where it's very serious for the most part but isn't afraid to add a reference here or a joke there as a random event or when appropriate.

I got all the mainstream memes like the potion seller or the ambulance. But I didn't pick up on any Poland specific memes because they flew right over my head. But this kind of speaks for the mod's quality again because it means they were integrated subtly enough not to annoy those that didn't get them.

 

[Mauman]

Welp....just got my first cutscene bullshit death. Went into an area I wasn't supposed to yet.

The game could have at least given me an option to run like a little bitch.

Hi
I am still at the mission of who killed Stan. I stole Rodrigo key but don't know where is his chest. Also after speaking with Oscar regarding the poison the suggestion is to speak with Fox but there is no active talk with him
Please help

 

[Tweed]

So uhhh, did Gothic 3 ever get any good mods besides the community patch?

Rodrigo's hut is next to the one with Cortez's shack on top, slightly closer to the entrace.

Had same situation with Fox, ended up retrieving Rodrigo's journal first.

No, but on the bright side it also didn't get any bad ones.

Yeah probably journal error, you did this before but game didnt register it in journal. Try talking to Rodrigo and later to his buddy. Then steal his journal.
There are many bugs like this, for example it seems that it was possible to find Kurt in chapter IV before that waterfall house sequence with Kessel. In severs you can find him out of bounds and there will be new journal entry about this, and journal entry for this in chapter V doesnt exist as far as i know.
