Gothic - Durmin Paradox

[@akaioni48]

Watching this series like yearly has become a trandition of mine by now

[@Nazemi96]

Oh ~ so I am not the only one. Hello there everyone.

[@Raaben]

@@Nazemi96 I come back here every so often, partly for how great this series about these games is and part because I still hope that, one of these times, I will find he returned with more. I can dream right?

[@giorsoiusorin7934]

Then I'll add my nostagia to the fold. It is a must to come back to this series and videos. I laugh at it like it's the first time everytime. I was sad to see that there's no more content but at least in his words "we will always have Gothic 1 and Gothic 2" and Durmin's videos. Happy holidays to everyone

[@ColdHawk]

@@giorsoiusorin7934- So funny to unknowingly have been part of a returning crowd of people who have watched these again and again through the years. They are so damn good though!

[@TheRizzardOfOzIII]

Haha, I know right? Been watching these videos every year for like 6 years now! Hope Durmin Paradox comes back to cover Risen, Elex and Arcania, and maybe the Remakes when they come out! We'd be in for a REAL treat

[@jimmyincredible3141]

Skyrim: "Oh you great hero please help me slay the spider in my kitchen"... "Hey stranger want to play hide and seek"..."Dvaki-Hero-God please search my lost potatoes - I'll mark them on your map"...Oh you managed to sit in a corner for an hour - here have stealth level 100... oh you want to level up your smithing skill, just click on cheap iron dagger a few times.... don't worry to go into the evil dragon dungeon unskilled without equipment - we will fill it with lowest level enemies for you... Gothic: Get punched in the face for no reason to start...walk into the barrier - die! ... talk to the wrong guy - die!... don't distribute water for lefty - die! ... don't pay protection money - die! ... walk through the open castle gate - die! ... say the wrong thing to gomez - die! ... forget the impossible password - die! ... say "would you mind to stop hammering" to your new camp friend - die! .... rely on muds help against a monster - die!... look around !inside! the cult camp, meet swamp shark - die! .... go cross country - die! ... stay on the roads - die!...don't say "yes master" to the cult priests - die! ... saw that dinosaur monster just at render distance and ran away - good thinking but it will stalk you everywhere to kill you ... try to climb a ladder...^^ The first two Gothic games are such good games, with one of the best dirty, unpolished and through that most credible gameworlds I have ever seen. Gothic 1 is only surpassed by Gothic 2 Raven, which in my opinion is the best single player RPG ever!

[@Rychlewicz]

Yeap, Gothic has one of the best features in the world. That feeling of success when you become a better person.

[@derdox6720]

3 is good to, but 4 doesn't exist.

[@lucifer0247]

Actually, the normal neutral NPCs dont kill you in the beginning, they just beat you to pulp and steal all your money(ore) and the weapon you had been carrying. The Only NPcs who will kill you in the beginning are in the castle like Gomez and his men. And yeah the bandits kill you. But if you want to kill an NPC in the first game you alsways have to finish them off when you have beaten them in the fight.

[@Bruceylancer]

Exactly! For me, as a Gothic fan, Skyrim was an extremely poor experience. The whole game felt like a side-quest. No sense of progression at all.

[@93Beefcake]

Agreed skyrim might be the most overrated rpg ever Literally 0 replay value imo

[@zboyo]

ay 1: Arrived to colony, got beaten up, went to Old camp, told the guard I'm going to kill everyone here, got beaten up again. Day 2: Refused to pay "protection money", some digger tried to beat me up so I hid in the barrel, nearly got beaten up again. Day 4: Bought skirt in Sect camp, put on the skirt, got 3 joints of weed for free, increased my maximum mana by smoking weed. Day 6: Met a drunk guy in New camp who offered me to sell his weed and split profit, sold weed kept the ore nuggets for myself. Day 8: Went to old mine, lured the guard away from his chest, cleaned up the chest, nearly got beaten up, sold him the key of his chest. Day 10: Grilled 250 pieces of meat, put a guy to sleep with a spell, robbed his house, got beaten up again. Day 11: Went into forest to collect mushrooms for the chef, got eaten by Shadowbeast. 10/10 Best game ever!

[@cretzublogaretzu3090]

+Zinkziost That's how you roll in Gothic man! Good going! There's no game that I've died so many times and still enjoyed playing. BTW... you should eat some vegies too... that's a lot of meat.

[@zboyo]

+Cretzu Blogaretzu Gothic is epic and you can do so many things its unreasonable, and you are going to get beat up for half of what you do. its great!

[@4Astaroth]

+Zinkziost You are doing it right. :) Also the Shadowbeast is the most dangerous animal in Gothic, so getting eaten by it is no big surprise. :D

[@zboyo]

Haha no joke there!!! Its like you got to man up for each fight

[@Transgender-ProphetMohammed]

hope the syncro is as great as in original

[@YuriPRIMErpg]

This game, once released in Poland, became somewhat of a cult classic, to a point it's now served with every meal, as an appetizer.

[@przemyslawfejdych8433]

Also polish doubling was great.

[@urbium]

Przemyslaw Fejdych I gave your mom a polish doubling!

[@prostyle9356]

Yuri PRIME I heard Gothic was the inspiritation for the polish devs to start making the witcher.

[@thiagovidal6137]

I played this game for the first time in 2014. Worst controls I ever experienced, terribly dated graphics... and I fucking LOVED it.. .played for 70 hours and did everything. Absolutely awesome. Great story... Played Gothic 2 a year later.

[@PinePizza]

i pick it up again every 2 years because i forget 80% of it, so nice

[@TehPh1L]

for the time it came out the garphics were on fucking point !!! first 3d game i played and it blowed my mind ! still in love with the game and almost every year since iam coming back to gothic 1 or 2 and i play through it again

[@thiagovidal6137]

It blew your mind because was the first 3d game you ever played. By 2001 there were much more advanced things. 2001 was the year of Max Payne, MGS2, GTA3, Rogue Leader.... Gothic 1 was already graphically dated in 2001.

[@morgothbauglirthemasteroft4354]

+Thiago Vidal There is HD version , i think that controls are better there maybe don't know....

[@drowningin]

The controls were horrible at launch. You have to edit the ini file in its directory to make it play like a normal ARPG. It's 100% required or it can be a huge turn off. Edit the controls & the games solid gold

[@xe3704]

just stopping by like always. my favorite gothic series. hope you dont delete ever this. its all masterpiece. love you and hope you are doing good

[@BBB-2005]

Same do I. His videos are like watching The Lord of the Rings. A timeless classic

[@HikariAnnoxis]

You are actually so good. This review is just awesome. And the ending, where music from Gorhic 2 kicked in I was absolutely paralysed. Your review deepened the Gothic atmosphere and it's just perfect.

[@studenastrana273]

Year 2019, still waiting for new video from this guy. I know... most likely this wont ever happen but still, i havent seen anyone puting so much heart into the game reviews ever! No its not profesional video, its personal and somehow piece of art, like short movie. Thats why i keep coming back once in a while to watch all these videos again. ❤️

[@ColdHawk]

My friend Studenastrana, We have not met, but I feel a bond of kinship with you. I am writing from the future in 2024. I regret to have to say this but, you see, our shared hope has came to nothing. This channel has remained silent. I imagine that you, much like myself, will continue to check back on it from time to time with a slight pang of sadness at its short life. I just wanted to let you know that these videos retain much of their freshness and in 4 or 5 years they will still be enjoyable, hold up well when being re-watched every few months, and remain some of the best reviews of Gothic ever published. So, I suppose we should enjoy what we have and lift our glasses to celebrate the creator of this fine work and to what might have been. Cheers, mate! ColdHawk

[@studenastrana273]

Cheers from the future as well haha still here still rewatching this classic ​@@ColdHawk

[@HeavyMetalGamingHD]

In the release year, this was actually one of the best looking 3d rpgs.

[@BBB-2005]

Every year I watch your Gothic videos over and over again. Wherever you are and what ever you do, thank you for all the work you put into your Gothic videos. Thank you for the masterpieces. its 9 years now and I still think about you and your Gothic videos. We really miss you brother, I hope youre fine and again thank you for the Gothic videos. These videos helped me alot in darker times. Dave thank you for everything. I hope you are doing well and never forget "Everything will be fine"

[@ColdHawk]

Just saw a comment from nine months ago that the creator had liked. It seems like he lives! At least in October or November of 2023 he was still around. Funny how every time I have watched these videos over that past several years I walk away with a slight sense of sadness. I always think, “I should really see if I can find out what happened to this guy…” I never did try to look him up, however. I think I was afraid something tragic had happened to him. Anyway, the thought he is still out there is enough to make my day! Cheers!

[@BBB-2005]

@@ColdHawk We must always start from the good. I can't predict the future, but I hope he's doing better than well. I just miss his videos and whenever I finish the Gothic series, I also feel this sadness as if something is over, but it always goes on, doesn't it? I'm waiting for the day he gives a sign of life again and will welcome him with open arms haha until then, everyone stay well and play Gothic :D

[@dadadahahahagh]

The controls are not that weird if you control your character with the arrow keys (and ONLY the arrow keys, no need for a mouse in Gothic 1 and 2), trust me^^ It was that way back then, you had your right hand on the arrow keys and your left hand on control. That's how you played Gothic!!! :D

[@nicolasf6407]

Always come back to this series after a while or so. Can remember a time few years ago, pre-pandemic, watching the Gothic 3 part while on acid at 4:00 AM and slowly sipping smirnoff with orange juice. Too bad you didn't stick to YT Durmin but thanks for what you took the time to make. Gothic is one of my fav games, combat aged so badly you can't share it with everyone unless they're old, hardcore, sweaty cave nerds that played things like Crussaders of Might and Magic on PC/PSX It's like Johnny Walker's Blue Label, an elixir, un elissir. As this series. Im thinking on getting the Sleeper's mark inked, idk, maybe will update. Big love man.

[@ColdHawk]

@@danieladamczyk4024 - My sentiment exactly! It’s hysterical how happy that made me. I have wondered what might have happened to the guy who created these videos I have enjoyed so much over the years. When I saw that response on a video from just nine months ago I yelled out loud, which completely confused my wife, my son, who thought I was watching a fairly serious documentary with them. The dog, sensing strong emotion I think, ran over to make sure I was okay. The internet is a funny thing!

Gothic 1 is my most loved game ever. Gothic2+ addon like 1% less. both are masterpieces. i play gothic 1 since the release in 2001 to this day. its especially epic in german. the german dialog and voice acting is so immersive. this game is seriously a gamers life changer.

[@TheSorrel]

Aw man, the draw distance. In this video, you had it set to 100%. I remember when I set it to 200% (because our PC was way OP in 2001) and you could just see EVERYTHING. The whole world of the game and you could see all of it at once. It was a revelation.

[@Xerkrosis]

Even with 300% you couldn't see everything. You probably used zfogzone and zhighqualityrender.^^

Glad you liked it! thanks a lot the channel is new this is actually one of my first videos. Glad you like Gothic i will release a video for each game in the saga.

[@dzikiben4]

Haha. It’s going to be tough objective regarding how shitty, useless and crappy are later games (i mean Gothic 3, Arcania and two unnecessary and incredible stupid add-ons). I supose it will be festival of whinning - especially because you're paying a lot attention to combat system, which really really sucks in both games. :D PS Gothic is not first PB's game.

[@durminparadox]

dzikiben4 Are you sure? even PB main site says that Gothic is their first Title.

[@dzikiben4]

Hi again Durmin. Sorry for disinformation. I heard something about some fps made by PB before Gothic came out, but I didn't find out any confirmation of this. So it seems that actually I was wrong. :C

[@jarlfenrir]

I'm not sure if this dialog appears only when you join a sect camp, but I remember when cor angar said to me I'm the most powerful man in the colony now. I was mind blown, it was the first time a game actually acknowledged that I really am the most powerful man in the entire game's world. In other games people are going to still treat you like shit despite you can kill them with one finger.

[@bizznick444joe7]

Episode 1 is the most fun where you can finish quests in anyway you perceive you want them done. You can maximize your XP gain, ore gain whichever side you want or take from the NPCs everything they have. Including their lives. I remember wiping out the entire Old Camp before proceeding to do the same with New Camp. Episode 2 and 3 kind of leaves the place almost the same except for new spawns and storyline but then it gets kind of linear RPGing.

[@dragosolarv3150]

Thank you so much for bringing these vids back! I cannot express how much they mean to me :))

Magic is incredibly powerful in Gothic 1 and 2 as magic should be. They are used as ways to get around challenges you normally couldn't get around. Scroll format is limited so you have to use them in the worst situations or to get past someone hard to beat.

A cult classic which is actually a good game if you can overcome the odd controls. The mouse sensitivity can be fixed with the INI file.

[@durminparadox]

donpaulwalnuts Glad you like them, i'm playing G2 with NOTR plugged in right now and it's easily the hardest thing i've ever played in my entire life.. i wanted to create this retrospective because i found the whole trilogy extremely underrated.

[@donpaulwalnuts]

Gothic 2 with NOTR is incredibly difficult in the early stages. I found it helpful to start the expansion quest line/area as early as possible. I think I did that part before chapter 2 if I remember correctly. The extra experience helped to ramp up my character for the rest of the game. That and you get a sword at the end of it that can take you through the rest of the game. Gothic 2 is easily one of my favorite open world RPG's. Enjoy it.

I think it's really hard to get someone who doesn't know the Gothic games from when they were new to play them nowadays due to the somewhat outdated graphics and the 'unique' controls. However, once you get used to them, the controls in these games are actually really awesome. It's all about timing and reaction while in modern games like Skyrim you just spam the attack button 'til your enemy hits the ground. I'd really love to see a proper Gothic-II review ;D

AND: In Extremo makes an appearance in the game! A full blown concert. That alone is worth a 10/10

nice review. this is my favourite game series of all time. Well gothic 1 was also like the first pc game i ever played back in 2001. Gothic 3 was my most anticipated game of all time i guess. I remember getting it day one in a store (steam and co wasnt popular that time) to play it onto my just a few weeks before custom build high end gaming pc...and it works haha :D Many people dont like gothic 3 that much but for me it was just what i expectet after playing 1 and 2. You finally got to myrtana and get to all the places you read and heard about in gothic 1 and 2 and you could explore it toally on your own. BTW: You could have also show in extremo in gothic 1. That was so awesome haha :D btw: the upcoming game "witcher 3:wild hunt" is highly influenced by the gothic series, thats what the developer themself said ;)

NICE vid, man! I always feel kinda sorry for _Pirhana Bytes_ & _Egosoft_ - they both seemed to lose their way a little, over the years which is a real shame, because you can just SEE the potential for greatness in their early products (Gothic 2 / X-3) :/
