Game News Gothic 3 Community Patch 1.7

[Tolknaz]

Right now quest pack is german only, but the authors have promised to translate it to english soon.

 

[Nedrah]

I wasn't aware of there being no English translation, sorry.
So, any fellow Übermenschen tried the pack?

 

[The Vanished One]

That's a very interesting changelog and I'm really impressed. Perhaps one day I'll try and finish Gothic 3.

Can anyone explain to me the difference between changes marked with "-" and those marked with "+"?

At first I thought the "+" were new changes in this version, but then I found the changelog has individual sections for each version.

 

[Nedrah]

Same question was asked on the German forums.
+ supposedly means they added something new, while - just marks subsections.

Also, I installed the patch along with the QP, and while it's definitely playable on highest settings for everything now (looks pretty nice, too), I still wouldn't exactly call it smooth. That's on a C2D E6750, 8800GT, 4GB Ram, most recent drivers, WinXP Sp3 fresh installation.

Most importantly though, is the combat any fun now and do multiple enemies attack you at the same time?

 

[Nedrah]

So far I only played the starting town fight, no time for more currently. However, yes, combat so far is more fun and yes, multiple enemies are going to attack you at once - up to 3 at once at hard difficulty. Considering the fact that the new balance is supposed to force the player to actually specialize into something, the game is going to get some more playtime from me in the near future.
