Melee Combat
Ahhh no,Gothic 3 has a lot more of that,you could piss different factions and could get locked out of towns in a way. In gothic 2 you just had to choose a faction in the early midgame,it is not a action/consequence but more of a choosing campaign.Action and consequences
Difficulty and difficulty curve
Go play Dark souls games if you want to waste your time on a single enemy that much. Gothic 2 had really shitty skill points till they fixed it in the expansion. You had to be a min-maxer with prior in game knowledge to be able to do a fun build. Screwing a few things or experimenting made you have a useless character that couldn't do shit.Less power creep
Unfortunately, my PC barely runs G1...
Yeah,because spamming the right mouse button is clearly a superior melee combat. All three gothic games have shit melee combat,there is no better lol.
Also showing a clip of a late game god like level of player killing a few orks with the highest level of spell and then whining how easy they are.

I was required to learn a second language and Swedish is one of the easiest(if not the easiest) language for English speakers to learn. Other than memorizing the en/ett words it's pretty simple.I am sorry.I spent two years in university learning Swedish
I had zero interest in learning a second language to begin with, anyone worth speaking to already speaks english.

A video worth more than words
Doesn't look good as dark souls but is not bad either...

Fire Rain is not a end game spell like on Gothic 2 or with the alternative balancing. As longs you have AK, you can learn the spell easily...
Especially the sidestepping doesn't make sense.

Gothic combat never was figuring out a strategy for the enemy. It was always just getting so overpowered that you don't have to bother with the clunky system.

I agree, but did you played Risen 3? Has one of the worst melee combat of all time. Gothic 1/2/3 is good compared to R3. On R3, crossbows and pistols has melee range(WTF?) but are powerful because pick the gun from your pocket, fire a round and pit your pistol back is faster than the 5 seconds long ballet animation before each sword strike. All hits stunlock you regardless of your armor and other factors. They probably had this slow animation to avoid G3 who stunlocks first wins(alternative balancing solved the problem without screwing the combat)
edit - a funny video
You think you remember it was that way, but it really wasn't.I enjoyed Gothic 2's combat. It's not true there wasn't a tactic to the fights - you had to learn the moveset of an enemy type and time your blocks or dodges accordingly, with the right timing. Might not be the most complex of combats, but it worked and it certainly way more challenging than pressing LMB repeatedly like in Elder Scrolls or nu-Fallout
Yes Risen 3 combat really is beyond retarded.
But the video is a bad source because Angry Joe also is a very bad player.
You aren't even supposed to clear the island he is on at the start of the game.
He should just take the ship and get to the first island with the crystal mages.
Scavengers are a strong enemy at the start.
I even played a few runs without ever blocking or sidestepping enemys and it works out just fine.
If you know what enemies to kill at the right time you are always considerably stronger even in Gothic 2.I even played a few runs without ever blocking or sidestepping enemys and it works out just fine.
Only if you're considerably stronger than those enemies. Otherwise, you're completely full of shit.

NotR is so much exp.
I played it half a year back and made special note of how the combat worked. If you try just charging at the enemy without dodging or blocking, any enemy, you will get your ass handed to you unless you massively overlevel him, both in Gothic 1 and 2.You think you remember it was that way, but it really wasn't.
Not nearly enough stronger to do away with dodging and blocking. Were you trying to do the "no sidestep" thing on fucking scavengers or something?If you know what enemies to kill at the right time you are always considerably stronger even in Gothic 2.
You get some experience this way, but not nearly enough to overlevel the enemies as much as you claim, especially not in NotR. There isn't some big field full of molerats waiting for you to slay them, there tend to be plenty of tougher enemies all around that you need to learn the movesets of to beat. Or did you just sneak past anything you didn't overlevel and killed all the scavengers and molerats on the map before deciding to take on a couple goblins? If find this hard to believe. Post video of you beating a couple snappers (2 or 3 at once) in NotR in Act 1 without dodging, and I'll believe you.But you always overlevel the enemy if you play the game likes it's supposed to be played.
First you kill young scavengers and then molerats. (Gothic 1)
Or you kill everything till your in Khorinis down the road and the you go with Lares to the ruins which you have to do anyway. (Gothic 2)
Lots of free exp without doing anything.
Then you can kill Scavengers.
