33 Gothic 3 screenshots from HQ ingame footage

[Judge Hades]

I also have a strong belief in letting discussions run their own course. If the thread derails then it derails. besides we are still disussing Gothic 3 for the most part, Alan. Now if we were talking about that Buffy action game that showed up on the X Box that would be a derailment.

I've never reported a post before. Feels...all kinds of dirty.

 

 

Now that we are over that little chapter in the life span of this topic, could we discuss the game's awesomeness again and not the supposed lack of it? Thank you.

 

On that note, has there been any notions on the size and the scale of the world when comparing it to the island of Khorinis? I know there's a million npcs and quests along with around triple the habitations(like villages and camps and stuff) than both Gothics had, but what about the size of the map? Anyone?

 

Oh yeah, is there mounts? I'd kill for a camel.

Here is one question I have. How moddable is it? Its going to be the contemporary of Oblivion and NWN 2, which both game will be highly moddable. The more moddable a game i th longer the shelf life it has. Just look at BG 2 and NWN 1.

From the underwhelming amount of Gothic mods out there, I doubt the third installment will offer more.

The Gothic 3 gameworld is roughly three times the size of Gothic 2, so basically it's huuuge.

They usually release mod tools after the game is released, and Gothic 2 had a lot of german mods (and I mean a lot). I don't expect Gothic 3 to be any worse. I think the developers have said they will release mod tools after release.

[Morgoth]

I think Piranha will have plans for mod-tools, sometime after the release. There won't be such a thing like an easy-to-use cunstruction-kit though, just the dev tools and plugins as they are.

Thank you, Fio.

 

 

I was just thinking, does anyone of you know if we start as a fighter-aligned build, or could there be a sort of "meet a prole on the beach after shiwreck and you tell him where your previous training has concentrated on, like a mage for example". Then of course you could do whatever you want after that, it wouldn't be a class choice, just some stat-redistribution from your, supposedly grand, starting reserves of points. I feel that they could pull that off and not piss anyone off. Maybe have all the stat and skill points interchangeable in your character menu on the starting area perhaps, if the fans want that. Sort of like in BG 2 you had the eight levels worth of spells and weapon skills.

 

Although now that I think about it, they might even do the latter one.

[alanschu]

I could see that, as I'm sure people would like the decisions made in Gothic II to reflect on their character in Gothic III.

[mkreku]

You start with a small number of points to immediately spend on your character. That's all I know so far. I guess that's when you're allowed to customize your character just a little bit at least..

 

Just for the record: the Gothic games were never designed for people who like to play dress-up doll with their characters. Armour comes in ONE piece, the appearance of the main character is locked, the name is unknown. That's the way it is so people who want to feed their Barbie addiction should look at other games.

[Judge Hades]

Barbie addiction?

 

Sheesh, what the hell is wrong wanting to customize your character?

[Pidesco]

Hades would love The Sims.

[alanschu]

You certainly have custom character creation.

 

It's too bad out of all the CRPGs in the world, Gothic is the only one he doesn't like.

Last I checked Sims wasn't a CRPG. Nice trolling, now go away.

1. 33

2. Depends on the mood and where I am in the apartment. Yellow for kitchen, Blue in the living room, black in the bedroom, bright green in the computer room/library, and well you get the idea.

3. Writing, Literature, Arguing, Religion, Gaming (computer and PnP)

4. A wide range of styles. From Enya to Marilyn Manson. Some rap, older material, and very very specific country artist, like Johnny Cash.

5. I have a wide range of movies tastes, from Lord of the Rings, Casablanca, 3 Weddings and a Funeral. If it has a good story to it I'll watch it.

6. CRPGs in all forms, except the Gothic series.

7. Aggressive arguing without resorting to insults. A general distaste for the norm.

8. Complacentness.

9. Positive in a cynical sort of way.

Were you just stoking the fire with this comment?

You are taking a post from Pixie Stick thread seriously? Okay, not a liar but a fool. HA!

[alanschu]

Well, I figured you yourself were trolling when you did it.

 

So I figured I'd play along.

I'm not saying it's an RPG, I'm saying you'd love the game regardless.

 

Incidently, how is that trolling?

[Tigranes]

But then, when there are too many contradictions they become meaningless and invalid ammunition for the forum warz . Sort of like trying to kill 600 goblins with FoD.

Okay, sounds good to me. :D

 

PS: One should never drunk post 4am in the morning.

[alanschu]

Especially when one stated he was drinking at 10 am in the morning earlier that day as well.

 

Whiskey at that.
