I remember when I was teaching my elderly mother to play video games, she asked why I beelined to every waterfall whenever they'd show up. How adorable. She loved FFX, Mount and Blade Warband, Civ 5&6, and Final Fantasy Tactics, unfortunately after her stroke she can't play much more than Animal Crossing, but for a while she was the coolest 60 year old around.

"Dann hau ich dir volles Pfund aufs Maul." and "Lass uns Wildschweine jagen gehen." were probably the first memes that I can remember. Now, that I heard the english version, I see that it lacks the "roughness" and "snappy-ness" that the german one had. In my personal opinion it followed in the footsteps of the Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies, which were big hits in Germany, because of the german localization that not only elevated but made these movies. Rainer Brandt more or less "invented" the fast pace, rough, one liner- and punchline-heavy style. Difficult to emulate in the english language.

I'm sure that polish guys at age 20-35 love Gothic as one of the best experiences of their gamers' life but I'm not sure about the yonger ones right now. Hope they've heard of the series too. Cheers!

6:14 It absolutely is good advice IRL. Speaking as someone who does HEMA (historical fencing) you never wanna hold a sword with two hands unless it is designed to do so. It is always to your advantage to hold it with one hand as long as it is not too heavy to swing effectively. One handed weapons give benefits to range, speed, and agency in a duel. The most effective combination of weapons in all of renaissance era swordsmanship is a one handed sword in your dominant hand and a dagger in your non dominant.

I remember being 12 or 13 when I fell in love with Morrowind and general reaction I got when I brought that I up amongst older RPG nerds was something along the lines of: "BAAH! You like Morrowind?! That's a BABY game! You must be a stupid BABY for liking it! Repetitive quests, no characters, bad combat. Morrowind's dumb, try Gothic instead, much better game." The impression I got was that Gothic was the more successful game at the time, while Morrowind was something that you were ashamed to admit you enjoyed. Of course I didn't understand what sales were back then or the concept of commercial success. So I was genuinely floored when I learned much later on how big of a success Morrowind was, how it buried every other competition at a time when amazing games where coming out.

Morrowind's core strengths are very different from Gothic's. While Gothic focuses more on having a tightly-focused, fully-realized world and characters, Morrowind (and TES in general) tends to focus more on making the world as open and large as possible and creating more room for player expression. Morrowind's combat is... not good, but it also gives the player a lot more options for breaking it in half, particularly when Magic becomes involved. Lack of full voice acting in MW also means that, while most of the characters are much flatter overall, there's a lot more information that can be conveyed to the player through dialogue.

I think the main problem for Gothic outside of Germany is that the character building relies (almost) solely on the excellent dialoge and its voice acting. From what I´ve seen in your video alot was lost in translation. The open world etc was good for its time but obviously thats long past. But I still come back to Gothic sometimes nowadays to slaughter some Trolls with Gorn, Lares, Diego and Milten. ^^

As an American who played the games, I imagine that with Gothic 1 & 2 the combat in those games could turn some people away which is a shame since it had its share of fun along with the dialogue and exploring the Penal Colony and the Island of Khorinis. Can't say much on the voice acting other than that it does have its share of bad acting. Never forgetting the one mad templar with the focus stone who sounded like a stoned-out surfer dude rather than some fanatical templar or Cor Kalom yelling for the Sleeper to awaken only to sound more like a wrestling announcer than a deranged man hailing his dark god.

Oh, wow, I actually recently replayed Gothic 1 & 2 this year and played Gothic 3 for the first time afterwards, too. I'm happy to see you covering this. Gothic 1 & 2 are still amazing in producing a world that feels inhabited, immersive and believeable. That has always been my favourite thing to enjoy in RPGs, ever since I played Ultima VII as a (way too young at the time) child and I was blown away seeing NPCs following schedules and me being able to bake bread by mixing flour and water. Gothic 3 was a bit of a disappointment to me - and I had the pleasure of playing the patched up version years after. The world felt empty in comparison, and towns felt inhabited by replaceable no-ones instead of people. By the end I felt like I was just playing to finish up the story of one of my youth enjoyments after all those years. I started on the expansion and couldn't bother to go beyond the starting quest. I also genuinely felt the combat in part 1 felt better than in part 3. Once you get used to the controls, itˋs still janky, sure, but it works well enough. Kind of this weird experimentation from before controls were fully standardised across the industry. Also, yes, as others mentioned - the German voiceacting is way better overall, and it was very good for the time, but it definitely also had some subpar moments.

He's big buffed guy in the sequel who can be blackmailed by you which connects to at least 4 quests.

Man, I'll never forget Gothic 1. I remember first playing it at a friend's place, and as immature kids that we were, we promptly used the console to give ourselves the best stuff. Then later I played it a bit more fairly, but exploited the blade and meat duplication bug haha. I'm guessing that's exactly what you were doing yourself rapidly roasting meat like that, or at least it instantly reminded me of the exploit. I don't remember how many times I played it, but I do recall at one point I finished it but was so desperate for more I looked for mods that added quests, and there were like 1 or 2, but I never got them to work.

Holding a weapon with two hands can actually be bad, especially if the weapon has little handspace, or the second hand would hinder the movement. A hatchet would be worse with two hands, same with a rapier, an arming sword usually is best with one hand, unless it has a longer grip. I think the one handed trainer is simply generalising, instead of going into a multi hour Tanget over specifics of how to hold a weapon.

Was excited to see the notification for this video when I woke up earlier. Excited to see that next Fallout video you mentioned at the end, or even possibly Witcher 1! I replayed all the Witcher games last year and found Witcher 1 pretty good, a little sufferable at times with some bad back to back combat encounters and needless backtracking. But the story itself and many of the side quests were enjoyable. It also presented a fairly unique tone compared to the other games, kinda surreal and more I guess... Fairy tale-esque? Some dissonance for sure. Gothic I've tried to get into but can't, but have played their later game, Elex. Anyways, again, fun video and keep it up!

Another game from my childhood on your channel! I'm a big fan of how your videos are more of a "journey" through the game and less of a structured analysis. Mentioning things like "there's few women, and most are possessions of the faction leaders" is just something you mention off-hand as you discover them in the course of the game, and instead of doing an extended commentary on it and voicing your opinion, you just leave it to the viewer to draw their own conclusion about what & how much these details mean to them, if anything. Kudos!

For some reason I assumed you already had a Gothic video so this is nice. Please follow it up with a video on 2 and then the CoM mod.

re: 'why are good video game writers so rare' - i've come to think that it is because many writers in the industry get into gamespace through some informal career track, often via other gamedev specializations. many represent some facet of what could be termed nerd culture, although that term itself is kind of vague nowadays. they bring a shared set of references and expectations into what they do. unfortunately it is rare for writers outside of gamespace to see it as a serious literary medium, and independent developers with those kind of ambitions often lack the budgets necessary, or have to go up against publishers repeating "gamers don't want to read" like a mantra, etc. you can sort of see what happens when writers outside of gamedev get together and make a game with disco elysium. several people on that team taught critical reading/lit prior to making games.

writing videogames requires both, the ability to write a good story, but also to write in a way that works with the mechanics of a game. And it's rare for someone to be good at both.

Ah, Gothic! What a gem! The game brings back so many good memories of a carefree childhood that was partly spent on the streets of Khorinis and on the farms and meadows nearby. It would be great to see a video review of the second part of Gothic, which is the best in the trilogy by the community's consensus.

Actually there are a lot of swords that are one handed weapons, two handed seems stronger but people who train with one handed weapons can generate a huge amount of power and exercise a lot of control
