why is this so brokenly difficult?

why is this so brokenly difficult?
I have played and finished hardcore RPG like The Witcher 3 and Soul Series but this game is just unfair with its difficulty

    it's really not. you can make the game a lot easier by planning your build ahead but even if you don't the game never forces you battle anything difficult up until the final 30 minutes or so. you also have scrolls, npcs or could just learn the melee combat system

      They're like modders in that they test their games with cheated characters. They never start to finish playtest their games so they just plug in a max stat dude to make sure the AI works then call it a day.

      He says as he, like every Gothic II NOTR player, abuses invincible NPCs to clear out half the map, or raptor scrolls in Gothic 1.

        way to ignore my last point. I have given you options to cheese and options to learn the system. not sure why you are still blaming the game if you ignore both

    they upped the difficulty for the game with the expansion, It's a shame because vanilla G2 is quite accessible to newcomers and not difficult at all, but you can't get that version digitally.

      yes you can, just pick the beta option in Steam settings if you own it on Steam

    The game expects you to flee from enemies that are to strong. They placed some strong enemies in early zones. It gives a feeling of being a little bitch and not the lvl1 hero to safe the world. And it gives you a feeling of achievement when you can kill them easily later. Start of the game is often called the hobo phase.

    the scaling is truly retarded in this game. what used to one hit you early will not ever scratch you later on. stacking melee armor with rings and amulets is everything

    Because you deal 5 damage until you are about level 15-20 and have used a few stat boosting items. Most enemies had their stats doubled or even tripled compared to vanilla gothic 2 without the NOTR expansion.

              its just proof that graphic whores are all stupid. the ammount of resources going to this shit instead of creating cool worlds and gameplay is such a waste

    every point of experience matters. make sure to train your favorite battle skill (1 hand, 2 hand, bow, cross bow, or pick magic)

    Is there a way for me to play gothic II without the expansion installed without steam?

      Your choice is either pirating the vanilla version or installing a mod that removes most of the changes NOTR added.

        I failed to find vanilla to pirate... do you by chance know where I could find such mod?

    things you can beat on lv 1 with a wooden stick with no problems even without mastering the combat:
    Scavenger, Wolves, Goblins (1 or 2), Rats (1), Molerats, field raider, any human with noob stance
    >things you can easily beat after getting any kind of armor 30 strength and 30 one handed
    >gobo skeletons, snapper, lurker, minecrawler, blood flies
    considering that you can beat skeletons with cheap magic there really isnt much left that stands in your way until way later in the game where you have massive armor and weapon upgrades
