I also find the character development in Gothic to be a little bit rigid ~ but since I kinda like grumpy anti-heroes who end up saving the world I found it easy to go along with it. But points taken... if you don´t like the guy you probably won´t like the game. The world is too crowded? hmm...

Oh really? haha well, yes... the first 3 Gothic´s did not travel far from their German origin. But you got my curiosity here... you call them the worst offence to roleplayers that ever hit the screen? So how would you differentiate Gothic from Oblivion in that matter? I always thought real...

I am wondering why nobody is mentioning the Gothic series? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_(game) For those who don´t know it - it is a series pretty much comparable to The Elder Scrolls... you are the chosen one, you can learn magic, you fight reptile monsters and zombies - but unlike...

You talk from my heart, friend! Well spoken searanox. This pretty much sums up the Deus Ex experience. If you decide to grab a ficus tree from a hotel lobby and use it as your only "weapon" - I was just thinking of a companion cube analogy you can find in the game ;) - you not only make it to...

Oh...its the first time I hear that there were killphrases for them. The game never ceases to amaze me - so many ways to go, so many things to do. And it isn´t even a open-world game! It´s a piece of Art that should have it´s own hall of fame. How can that be that almost everyone can tell you a...

I always preferred the reply that it is just the glass that has the wrong size for this amount of water. Though, I did not yet think that all the way through and am not sure what it implies psychologically ;) I think we are on the same branch with the rock model. Though, I still try to hold...

A few posts above s0denone called you a cynic. And without meaning any disrespect I have to admit that seems to be well earned, dear friend :) When I look at the world I can often see the masses being wielded by questionable headlines screaming murder. I can see religions teaching love...

I like traveling Asia and am always on the lookout for interesting food. Unfortunately, I don´t have anyone to dare me ~ so I am usually leaving out the really - for European perceptions - disgusting part. But there have been several notable incidents anyhow: 1.) On the Shilin Nightmarket in...

Genocide, Rape and torture - all of them have been used in excess in history and sometimes textbooks tell that it was for the greater good. Or more common - those weary facts that lead to the result are left out so they may not soil the triumph that was reached. I personally started believe that...

There are two different philosophies in psychology. One says humans are born evil and need strict guidance to stay in line. The other humans are innocent in their infant state and need to be protected from evil influences. Those are just two extremes and a common believe is that a baby born is...

I didn´t read the whole thread yet... but I just felt an urge to reply ~ About me I am born German, grew up in western Germany and got the whole indoctrination thrown at me that you get in Germany about the Third Reich. The effect this had on me was that I went out to look for some...

Ehhm true ~ talking about New Orleans. What I meant was that the Dutch build almost a whole country below sea level. So they are the oldest culture that came up with that "nonsense" and didn´t get washed away till now - at least google couldn´t tell me about older examples. But this thread is...

Those guys from the Netherlands I believe ;)
