Playing the Codex Top 70. When that drives me crazy I play the Legend of Zelda (original) while wondering if they'll get Zelda U right.
I'm playing Thief for the first time, gifted by Scrooge if I recall correctly.. quite lucky to experience a game tfrom the golden days fresh for the first time like that. Completed first map, enjoying this a bit more than Deus Ex so far. Cutscenes remind me a bit of Book of the New Sun.
Oh boy, first time G2NOTR.2) Gothic 2 Night of the Raven. Just started playing it, but considering how much I liked Risen which according to most opinions here is good but not as good as its predecessors, I have very positive expectations.
Is this some official expansion, or a fanmade mod? Because it looks pretty fucking cool.Gothic: Dark Mysteries.
It's supposed to be equvalent of G2:Night of the Raven for first Gothic.
It add new factions (Ancients, Smugglers, Camp near Mine, Fanatics), additional stuff to to, new weapons and items and new NPCs. And new problems in quests, like simple quest get complicated due death of one NPC.
What about wackiness (strange, cringeworthy or supposed-to-be-funny things)? Well, I found few things, but you could find them in vanilia too. Not big deal unless you hate modders with passion.
It give some acivities for later part of the game. This is how usually Pirania Bytes games work - 1st and 2nd chapters (or first few hours of the game) flood you with quests. Then last 2-3 chapters you have nothing to do except main quest line, involving serious dungeon crawling.
In Gothic DM you have new separate plot, about mysterious old chapter of Innos guardians, not sure about their english name, something like Ancient Ones (how original).
It include trust gaining to speak with boss, betrayal, few orks to slay and few kick to scaled butts of the dragons, but I remember this quest for two things. First - enormous amount of weapons.
In vanillia you can finish the game with ~25k units of ore (currency in the game), in Dark Mysteries you can finish it with 120k ores. Madness...
IIRC you can get maybe few additional levels. Not a big deal, game is pretty linear in that matter anyway.
Second - new plot start with big disinfestatin. So many big bugs that may crash your game due engine limits reached.
Ah, there's is also new merchant. He give you hard missions to collect stuff. But most important - he have 9999ores in his pockets that renew every time you want to deal with him, and you need to know that other merchants in the game don't do that, except when new chapter start.
There is additional voice acting but it's so atriocious...even old games like Deus Ex sounds like proffesional work compared to this. Not to mention other megamods with voiceacting.
Now I found that there is other big mod for Gothic2 NotR named Global Mod, that add new stuff (factions, items, NPCs, locations etc.) that give good score from Gothic community, plus - translations group add even more content!
It's ~100-200h long, though

1.. Doesn't seem too bad, I'm quite enjoying it.1 or 2? 2 is quite a bit better imo.

Regarding arrows, I don't have any fire ones yet, but I'll be sure to stock up.
I have started re-playing Ultima VII for the first time in 10+ years. God the combat is shit I don't remember it being so bad in my youth. I guess I was blinded by all the cool shit you could do in Britannia as a murder hobo.
...Thief 3. Is it really that bad or fanboys are just bitching without reason?
