If you haven't played Archolos, you owe it to yourself to do so. This "mod" beats out the vast majority of AAA RPGs released in the past decade.
I don't even fricking know how you get a bunch of guys together, working for free, and you end up with quality like this. Pure passion I suppose.

This is a trans-friendly board. We only play Morrowind here
kek I came into this thread because I thought this was Morrowind mod at first.
Is this a trans psyop tactic to make trans people more integrated into nerd culture?
I know you're trying to use it as an insult but you just come across as obsessed with trannies.
Yes
Trannies all came from nerds in the first place. Only nerds and other assorted weirdos are low test and feminine enough to actually want to become a woman. Normies never have such desires.
You couldn't be more in the wrong, most nerds are notorious perverts who love to fap to whatever they desire, with the wanton fantasy staying in the mind no further than post nut clarity, while it is normies who are numb from all the drugs they're fooled into taking by corporate-sponsored quacks doctors who're groomed into thinking chopping their reproductive assets off (at the cost of a few tens of thousands dollaridos paid to the plastic surgery friend of previously mentioned quack doctor, who was so kind he recommended him as a ''good and humane'' surgeon) is a viable solution to confusion as to how they'll personally interpret and apply their gender societal expectations.
>most nerds are notorious perverts who love to fap to whatever they desire, with the wanton fantasy staying in the mind no further than post nut clarity
Stop jerking off to trannies anon.
Didn't bruce jenner win a gold medal in the olympics
It's actually very masculine to take your fetish so seriously you refuse to shut the frick up and just jerk off to it and have to live it in public
this was true ten years ago, now it's not at all
Some disgruntled homosexuals got mad Morrowind was well regarded so they initiated an epin invasion operation on /vrpg/ trying to conflate Morrowind with trannies as a way to defame the game.
Why people are so afraid of liking same things as trannies? If there are as many trannies as /misc/ says, then there is a 100 percent chance that at least one troony likes every single thing in the world, does that mean I should hate everything to not be troony as apparently being a total fricking homosexual spreads memetically through unrelated stuff? That's some SCP-tier shit if you ask me.
its just a brainrot. "trannies" and "jews" are terminally online equivalent of "frick" and "shit" for when an addled brain can't think of anything to say. Its just filler, in this context "thing I dont like".
Yeah, sure, what I don't get is what the frick does Archolos have to do with trannies?
If this were a New Vegas thread, okay, but it isn't.
>Why people are so afraid of liking same things as trannies?
because thats how unlikable trannies are.
They even behave exactly the same Furgays did in 2006, except that Big Pharma has no way to sell meds and useless surgeries to turn you into a mandog so there was no way to make money out of them.
>Why people are so afraid of liking same things as trannies
I play games based on my political identity not what's food, which is why I play absolute dogshit like gothic and morrowind instead of good games.
>not what's food
Are you having a stroke anon?
>Why people are so afraid of liking same things as trannies?
Because trannies like shit qua troony on the basis of it catering to them, and anons don't want to be seen supporting enablers.
We're all anon here but our brains don't really acknowledge it on every level. A lot of people are still obsessed with how we're seen by the rest of the group, especially in the least Ganker boards like /vrpg/.
I love Morrowind, but as shit as it was Gothic was infinitely worse. You can say a lot about Oblivion for example, but you can't say boars are the most dangerous enemies in the game due to stunlock gameplay. Also frick stunlock gameplay, literal autism tier garbage.
>but you can't say boars are the most dangerous enemies in the game due to stunlock gameplay
LMAO
Holy shit you're moronic.
Thank you for the chuckle anon, here's a (You)
>gothic thread
>morrowind angrily mentioned within 2 posts
like pottery
Literally flip the games for accuracy
Meanwhile, in Morrowind:
>Botrir
>Fjol
>Halof
>Godrod Hairy-Breeks
Have you seen any... Elves names? AHAHHAAHAHAH
Morrowind be like
>Oh, he went to Nchurdamz instead of Nchurdumz? What an n'wah
I don't know about other languages, but Polish dubbing (mod was made by Polish team) is great. it's unironically the best Gothic game up to date.
Calling a mod the best game to date when it wouldn't exist without those games is weird.
>is weird.
And yet here we are.
>but Polish dubbing
I listened to pshek speak in the intro, there's no chance in hell I'm gonna listen to it through out my playthrough.
It ain't even a political thing, I just really dislike the sound of Polish.
Terrible writing and the voice acting is horrible.
No it isn't and comparing it to G2 is an insult to that game.And how the frick can you stand the polish voice acting? Are you a slav?
I don't speak a lick of polish so it's like an alien game to me, bumped it up a point but then I realized you're supposed to play as that guy from G1 which immediately brought it down to a 5/10
I guess I glossed over that fact since I forgot how most NPCs in G1 were named
Gothic is goyslop.
>Greatest RPG ever developed
>It's goyslop
Just go back to playing BG3 anon.
Gothic is not an RPG, it's an action game
t. dumb frick
No games were goyslop in 2002
Lots of old games are goyslop. You've specifically selected all the goyslop out of old games and used their age as a cope. You'd likely be perfectly happy playing modern ubishit if not for the stigma surrounding it.
define goyslop
Shut your brain off games.
games aren't passive though. sounds more like describing a movie or tv show.
>games aren't passive though
Shit like gothic and elder scrolls is designed to be consumed on autopilot.
So basically, any games that wasn't Point and Click adventures puzzles are goyslop.
Back to the 1991 with you gramp.
Goyslop is something that's made automatically not consumed automatically. Studios that squeeze out near-identical turds annually or almost annually just to placate the masses and keep the money flowing. Sitcoms, capeshit movies, fromsoft games, call of dooty, FIFA are all goyslop.
Even if your definition was the correct one you would still be wrong because Gothic is an RPG with no quest markers. You have to pay attention while you play it.
Meh, got bored quickly. The mod has a lot things that feel weird, it's the videogame equivalent to chatting with a group that have known eachother for a very long time, with their their own slang and jokes. I'm sure that to the guys that made the mod is all natural, but to me it's janky and off-putting.
Biggest problem I have with big mods and overhauls. That and weirdly high difficulty that makes me wonder how humans have survived as a species with such dangers out there.
That said, it's not like Gothic appears to try to cater to the player and getting into the game and having your investment rewarded is definitely a pro. Buuut I just don't trust modders after just a couple sigh inducing experiences.
>high difficulty
It's easier than NotR though.
Have you played Gothic? I think that's the main shared experience they might rely on.
It also seems fairly well tutorialized, I had played NOTR but not for a decade or more and I never felt overwhelmed or confused. And it's an open world game you take at your own pace anyway.
Haven't played it yet because I'm waiting for the 2.0 update
I wish devs stopped huffing their own farts and gave mage faction instead of scattering books across the island
>hurr durr Marvin ne jest mage because he is not the chosen one, it's not realistic bro
yeah but learning how to wield a sword to shoot a bow properly in a few days is realistic
>gave mage faction instead of scattering books across the island
In 2.0. update they're going to make playing a mage easier. They'll add magic schools teaches so you won't have to collect books anymore.
I honestly don't mind the book collecting. I thought it was neat.
I can see how it would butthurt people that decided to be mages beforehand but I just went with the flow and having some ghetto autodidact style magic was cool
Anyone else surprised at how easy it is to heal during the early game? Like, those free health statues are everywhere.
>ghetto autodidact style magic was cool
And also feels much more fitting to the story and character you play.
>Anyone else surprised at how easy it is to heal during the early game?
So far my biggest gripe with the game. If it ain't the statues it's water barrels and the bathhouse in Archolos.
And even without all the easily accessible healing, the game isn't all that difficult.
Glad I'm not the only one. Once I realized how plentiful healing was it really did take a lot of the caution out of combat and exploration.
so nothing burger, I want faction with unique quests tied to them like guards or mercs not extra npc which they can whip out in a few hours
so is archolos actually enjoyable if you're not a troony or schizo
No.
If you played Gothic 2 and liked it, yes. Otherwise, hard to say, if you never played original game you might get pushed away by mechanics or atmosphere.
if i liked gothic 2 but dont like trannies or schizos, still good?
The main thing I've seen people get assblasted about is a couple of places where talking too much shit gets you outright cutscene murdered without any fight allowed.
There's also no prostitute fricking possible even though there are some prostitutes and that was in gothic 2
Imagine being so moron that you throw autistic tantrums about anything that isnt some AAA slop rip off with the same controls and mechanics all slops have but at the same time you cry about how all games are just cooied money making schemes of da joooooz with no creativity and effort.
At the end of the day the great contrarians are also just buying the newest Iphone and liking whatever the others do.
Some people can't simply do things because they want to. They have to be concerned with what others do, too. It's a strange way to live, especially when those people don't even know you exist lol
I played it once and went guard route, it was very nice (shit ending aside).
I'll play it again the next time I run through the gothics, going araxos.
YOU SHALL NOT BE ARCHIVED
If you aren't playing the game let the thread die homosexual. Your gluttonous autism is literally killing threads for games people are actually playing, half the fricking catalogue is just sheer dead weight like this. Just stop homosexual.
>If you aren't playing the game let the thread die homosexual
a JRPG died for this
Even better.
This.
nta, but you guys play shit. This is an actually quality game.
what's up with this moronic gothic vs. morrowind forced meme i keep seeing? i don't get the relation.
>came out in similiar period
>both open world action RPGs with similiar focus on character skills having high impact on the gameplay
>both fantasy settings with unique worlds and plots (at least first Gothic with being set in a prison)
>both peaks of open world design with nothing ever surpassing them
I'm more of a Gothic guy having played it as a kid (only played Morrowind long after Skyrim came out when I went on an adventure through western RPGs), but I have deep respect for Morrowind for how it expanded on TES lore and, holy shit, I fricking love it. Together with SMT games made me deeply interested in oriental mythologies.
In other words, fricking homosexuals are forcing this war while those games are in the end two completely different takes on the same problem. Kinda miss early 2000's experimental period in gaming coupled with transition from 2D into 3D.
Morrowind is a fine game, a fine one. Bethesda's best. But if someone out there thinks it's better than Gothic, they're drooling fricking morons.
Different, not better. Those are two different approaches to the open world game design and they differ mostly in scale. Yes, Gothic looks better (scale issue mostly)and plays better (once you get past the design that made it possible to play without mouse), but Morrowind created the Bethesda-style open world that is incredibly hard to replicate. Hell, only good games that follow similiar design philosophy are basically total conversion mods for their games (New Vegas, Nehrim and Enderal). For me they are incomparable, they use different set of tools to get very similar final effect - illusion of the living world that is influenced, but not driven by the main character.
>Different, not better.
t. drooling moron
homie, I played Gothic more than all Bethesda games combined and I generally like it more than Bethesda games, but I cannot bring myself to comparing them because they are very different games. Gothic is it's own subgenre just as nu-Fallout or TES is.
The idea that you can't compare things because they're different is pretty fricking moronic.
They're both open world RPGs made in a similar vein, if you can't compare Gothic and Morrowind is there anything you can compare?
Secondly, Morrowind has 2 things going for it
1) A much more intricate magic system
2) Better and more expanded lore
But everything else goes to Gothic, literally every other aspect.
Listen man, I see Morrowind Black folk getting uppity, I gotta smack 'em down, that's just how it is.
>fricking homosexuals are forcing this war
>said homosexual engages you to stir more shit up
>immediately fall for it instead of ignoring him
Lmao, you might actually be the drooling moron he accused you to be.
Forgive me anon, I'm fricking exhausted and drinking while being on a diet, but I want to believe that you can have a civil fricking discussion here instead of automatically assuming everyone is a fricking redditor that came to Ganker because we apparently hate all vidyer and can just start senseless flamewars. I might be just naive, but forgive me for actually wanting to talk about games I like.
>I want to believe that you can have a civil fricking discussion here instead of automatically assuming everyone is a fricking moron
You're forgiven because I do that shit too occasionaly, but don't expect people not to find it funny when they see it.
Which bethestard will be first to take the bait and bump this atrocious thread? We all know it will happen because they exist solely to detract from the quality of the board.
This game is based and one of the best RPGs released in the last decade. I never played Gothic so I have zero nostalgia or autistic attachment to any of the systems. It's just overflowing with content, exploring the island piece by piece and getting stronger is an absolute pleasure. Playing mage and having to search out the rare spell books and using your cunning to grab the hiden knowledge from dangerous areas is difficult but highly rewarding.
If you unironically enjoyed vanilla skyrim at any point this game probably isn't for you, because you're actually low IQ. If you dropped it for being the trash that it is this game is probably for you.
kek, I got 300 hours in Skyrim, back from when it released. It's only after that I played the Gothics.
Anywho, you should give the Gothics a shot, they're even better than Archolos (although Archolos does come close, it's not quite as good. But it is miles better than Risen or ELEX, which are decent enough on their own)
Gothic 1 > Gothic 2 > Archolos > Risen > ELEX > Gothic 3
I liked Gothic 3 when it came out, mostly because I never played anything similiar. Would still put it over ELEX, though, even though it was really fun game all in all.
Certain criticism has been leveled against Archolos for quest design, most being fetch quests etc.
I don't mind 'em, they're alright, however the Who is Who quest is one of the worst quests I've ever seen.
It retroactively makes all the previous quests better, it's that bad.
