  1. Combat also requires you to manually block and dodge so it's not exactly the same as Witcher.
  2. In graphics maybe. The fundamentals are exactly the same. Not according to people I've seen post on this very forum. They've mentioned rather significant changes that cause a drastic difficulty drop. One thing I heard was that in the old game, particular spells and arrows couldn't be dodged. They can in DKS. That actually was trivial in vanilla as well. All you needed was an obstacle and projectiles would rarely reach you. I'd say difficulty change was more a result of toning down skills like charge which no longer kill in 1-2 hits.
  3. In graphics maybe. The fundamentals are exactly the same.
  4. There are demos available for both games. As far as combat goes they show pretty accurate experience.
  5. Ranged and foot combat is generally terrible in m&b. It's not worth pursuing. Whatever your wish. As any open-world simulation it allows you to assume various position in the world. The hardest to attain is likely that of a king/emperor but the sheer number battles that need to be fought to reach it is simply staggering.
  6. You mean the pros? For example take a look at the sentences we write. No ancient roman would recognize such formed and well legible writing convention.
  7. The point isn't to defend the church but too notice that we have an unfortunate tendency to look for scapegoats, especially in past events. This quickly leads to popularization of unbalanced views regarding history. There is a lot of bad that can be said about the actions/policies in Christianity and catholic church in particular but relatively few people seem aware of all the advances they brought to western civilization.
  8. No witch-hunts took place at the same time that Jews were expelled. That begun as part of enlightenment movement brought on with renaissance, they were also not directed by church and happened rarely in Spain. That
  9. If anything it saved far more knowledge than it buried in that time. If it wasn't for monks/priest studding/coping ancient texts literacy could well have been lost completely in Europe.

    Korea

    Japan was racially motivated. In essence any western influences were to be eradicated.
  11. That may be difficult with rape charge still held against him.
  12. You mean aside from judicial institutions that are meant to ensure that the rule of law is followed? Or the democratically elected opposition? Or the free press? Ultimately - consent of the people.
  13. Why can't they just buy older/discounted games? If they have troubles upgrading their platforms it should make sense to buy software more suited to the hardware they can afford.
  14. First you'd have to decide what are you discussing here. I simply fail to understand what "xian" is, and whether there is a specific church you attempt to condemn or simply declare any form of organized religion evil.
  15. Perhaps you could provide a complete lists of pros before proclaiming that judgment? Right now you seem to blame organized religion for every evil it was connected with during it's entire history yet refuse to give it credit for a single thing outside of day-to-day charity.
  16. Just tried Two Worlds 2. Was the first part really worse? It can't even do half the things gothic 2 got right.
  17. And the inquisition? That was misunderstood as well in your mind I suppose too. Inquisitions practice and results have generally been grossly misrepresented in modern culture. Especially compared to death toll in wars of religion, which are conveniently ignored.

    Korea

    Take it and protest to your allies. South Korea has simply no military options at it disposal as any retaliation will be opposed by major powers.

    Korea

    There is little point speculating about NK reasons as it's completely closed society and we really don't know. You can speculate weather it's a part of a power struggle, a power transfer ceremony, dissatisfied military, protest against SK maneuvers, attempt to strengthen negotiation position or a ploy to grab international attention. In the end we don't know due to nature of that country. And nobody claims that every single North Korean is evil. But they work for a regime that employs questionable policies.
  20. DKS. Isn't Gothic 4 the story of a king going mad tormented by demons as opposed to a generic save the world in DKS?

    Korea

    That is unfortunately a very big if, assuming this is even possible. Just recently South Korean naval vessel was sunk and uranium enrichment plant was open in North Korea. Neither action sparked international interest. It will take a much more aggressive actions on the part of North Korea to get major powers to even consider opposing China on economic front, especially outside of UN.
  22. Those clothes have a weight of one and can be changed instantly with hotkeys. I really wouldn't call their use any more extreme than magazines. The only problem is finding them in game but if you played fallout 3 you'll know where to look.
  23. But why wouldn't you take comprehension? Seeing as it saves you 10 skill points per skills in which you have even a minor investment in. That's almost a level worth of skill points, and non combat skills checks are plenty. Except with the magic clothes and comprehension-boosted magazines you can.

    Korea

    China does not need to start a war in defense of North Korea. It's economical influence is such that it can punish those deemed responsible for undermining it's interests without resorting to warfare.
