After reading some of the affection that some members here have for this game, I'm gonna play it. I've done some looking around and come up with Gothic 2 and Gothic 2 Gold, which contains the expansion pack along with the original Gothic 2 game. The problem is that some players seem to have problems with something called Starforce. It seems to be some sort of copy protection program that creates havoc with some computers. I would like to play the game with the expansion but I'd consider playing without if it means avoiding potential problems. So how great is the expansion pack? Does it warrant the risk? Also can anyone provide me with a online retailer that sells Gothic 1 for a good price? Thanks!

controlled. I couldn't stand the AI controlled henchmen. I just pretend my PC is shouting orders when I take control of NPCs.

Level 70?

First I need to build a PC able to play all those games.

Don't forget Super Ghouls and Ghosts.

When I was playing Infinity Engine games and Starcraft back and forth, I used to press spacebar to pause the action whenever my Protoss forces encountered the enemy. Then I would curse loudly as my forces were decimated due to my lack of control all the while slamming on the spacebar trying to pause the game and avert disaster.

I feel for all those who have bad sinusitus. It rears its ugly head in my nose from time to time. Besides taking antibiotics when its REALLY bad, I usually go for brisk walks with a cotton mask over my nose and mouth. This usually gets my circulation going and my nose clears up at least for a while. Another thing that works for me is sitting in a bathtub in hot water. The water level should be at your belly button and you should start to sweat as you're sitting there reading or meditating or whatever. This gets the circulation going too and alleviates some of the pressure for me. Instead of water and salt up your nose, I recommend purchasing some saline solution and squirting that up your nose. With salt, you might put too much in causing more irritation.

Hmm...I tend to think that some people look at religion as another opportunity to elevate themselves in society or in any organization. Or rather those people use religious organizations as an external impetus rather than a internal one. Sure they might not admit it to themselves or even realize it, but wherever people gather connections are made, deals are struck and hierarchies are formed. People can flaunt their power, exercise their influence or brag about whatever new doodad they have...all the while congratulating themselves on their moral superiority in their religious beliefs. Of course, I also think that the majority of people in religious organizations are there because of their faith and the will to do good(at least in their eyes). The problem is that people with more earthly objectives end up with all the power and influence through politics, rumors, the forming of factions and whatnot. But wait...this wasn't what the thread is about. Yes, well on faith, I think people should believe in themselves more rather than what a certain religion tells you to believe. But only if it were that simple huh?

That's why everyone should have a wood practice sword with the approximate weight and balance of a real one. You can use it like a sword, but it deals crushing damage. It even hurts when stabbing someone with it. I actually thought someone had broken in one time when I was jolted out of my sleep by a crashing sound. I reached for my ebony practice sword(so the intruder would have a harder time seeing what was trying to hit him) and carefully crept out of my room. I saw a man wearing only his tighty whities pissing all over my mother's plants. WTF? was my natural reaction as I sneaked up behind him. As I got closer though I recognized him as one of my father's friends. Turns out my father had brought home with him after a night out of drinking. He couldn't find the bathroom being in his intoxicated state and well...you have to go when you have to go. We had a good laugh about it the next morning.

I only have two wooden practice swords. One is made out of ebony or blackwood and is quite heavy. The other is a light and cheap one you can find at any store. I received the ebony one when I was living at a Buddhist temple for a year. The head monk taught me some basics which was my duty to practice everyday. I went from unhealthy asthmatic to limber teenager within a few months swinging that sword around. Ahh..that was a good year.

I'm going to wait around and see. Being cheap and patient, I'll probably get all three somewhere down the line when there are certain exclusive games I REALLY want to play for each console. The price would have to drop too. This will probably take place near the end of the next generation consoles' lives.

Nope, tattoes don't interest me at all. A lot of people seem to have Chinese characters these days. I just hope they know what the characters mean.

I would like to see new and creative ways to win against the main antagonist other than the inevitable final confrontation where only one may leave alive. Like Torment.

I got lots and lots of clothes. This is not good since I live outside the fashion circle. Heck, I'm buying myself something cool.

What?

I think I do better the more I cram at the last minute. See, if I study ahead, I grow complacent and arrogant. Last minute panic sends my brain into overdrive and I develop a near photographic memory. Of course the downside is not sleeping.

The game is good. Probably one of the best games on the PS2. It's not that hard, I suggest playing in Hard then God mode to keep you on your toes. Master the block/counterhit. It will save you.

Hehe, that was cool.

Exactly what I was thinking

Why haven't played any of those games? Missing a good game makes me sad

I have trouble filling up my 256MB player. I guess music just isn't my thing

I like iriver products. I've used a Iriver 256 mb mp3 flash player for almost 2 years now and the thing is sturdy has a long battery life and looks pretty cool to boot. http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/ultra/

Poo, I was looking forward to this game.

I have, I played sands of time. I just really dont like platform games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha, oh well. I was going to try DQ a try anyways.
