#GOTHIC 3: THE BEGINNING PATCH#
The GOG version includes the Community Patch 1.74, which is a patch many years in the making to make the game playable, since it was infested with bugs left and right as well. It was one of the major points of complaint for most critics. Gothic 3s combat system is indeed awful, it has been since release. This is absolutely dreadful, how do people play it? I have a feeling that those who made this patch don't spend much time playing video games, let alone completing them. weighted weapons, combinations, parry, look at the Dark Souls series, or even Witcher combos although to a lesser extent. At the hardest level, the one shown in the video, the player will get stunlocked continuously by enemies, making the game impossibly difficult.įor strategic combat, i.e. It is nothing more than allowing the AI to spam the player, while the player cannot do the opposite. The combat is not strategic or intelligent, like the patch makers would lead you to believe. I am level 20, I have spent most of the game with a bow and arrows in order to take out enemies. It is possible the worse experience I have had with a video game. Eventually, the enemy will stunlock you by continuously attacking. They become like mosquitos and will spin-to-win continuously, never stop attacking. This becomes even worse with the Hashishin dual weilding. This is what happens in the arenas, as you can see the enemy will not stop attacking at all, will stunlock, and will make the fight impossible to complete: But this is by far the worse combat system I have ever experienced in a video game before. I have played 2000 hours in Dark Souls, have completed the Witcher 1/2/3, Demon Souls, the Elder Scrolls, all kinds of RPGs. I had to do the Bakaresh arena with a bow, despite starting as a tank with a shield, since whoever designed the AI made the game absolutely impossible. I have not played Vanilla, but the arena battles are literally impossible unless I use arrows or a companion. Have fun :) ! Could u mail me your scripts? shnyaps gmail.Fighting in this game is literally impossible. I'm open to suggestions for added functions or better functionnality. In that case, just use D-Pad up to draw again.
#GOTHIC 3: THE BEGINNING CODE#
The code isn't flawless yet and sometimes weapons aren't drawn properly. Have fun :) !Ībelf: Note: Seems I CAN'T POST LINKS (4 years member, wtf?!)! Hoping it will change after adding the topic. For MagicSet1, I use a magical staff and ice lance spell slotted to 7 and 8. RangeSet2 corresponds to my bow and fire arrows in slots 4 and 6. So, for example, in my game I use MeleeSet1 for my sword and shield that occupy slots 1 and 2.
In this code, " " at the start of a line indicates a comment (to inform readers) thus not taken into account when run.
With RB you switch mode and with B you swap sets inside a mode.īy default, each mode contains two sets and to each set is assigned one or two quick-slots as scripted: It lets you define weapon sets for three modes: melee, range and magic (in order). Start = Scroll screens (inventory, character, etc.)Īs you can see, I added nice little features called "mode" and "sets". Left stick = Arrow keys (can be used to scroll dialog options) To start, just double click Gothic3Controller.ahk! You can exit the script by right clicking the Autohotkey icon in the tray bar. optional but handy if you want to edit the script, Notepad++ I intended this for the Xbox 360 controller, so I don't know how other controller would behave.įor the controller to be supported, you need: Spent a good deal of time working this out!īut being able to play Gothic 3 with a controller is a treat!
