Huh, i actually tried that and it worked... Funny that, i specifically decided to walk off because i thought that a jump will be unfair - increasing the chance of fall damage.
@@lordtea7688 It's such a cool hidden little detail. I think the rationale is that when you jump it's controlled and intentional, but when you walk you "fall" off uncontrollably. It's the same in Gothic 1, but not really useful thanks to the strafe bug. I always loved jumping off the top of the Old Mine and landing on the smelter at the bottom.
Nothing :D Sadly YT don't promote such videos like shorter ones. The work input on hours long videos is significantly bigger than shorter ones if you take into account retention and algorythm promotion.
Yes, watchtime messes algorithm for such videos. I look forward to more, though. You have a very interesting perspective on the world of Gothic.@@lordtea7688
@@lordtea7688 i'm having a 3h33m video ab the mythology behind Hades recommended right to the side of this comment (: i've been noticing more monumentally long video essays recently (or n hours of facts type videos), and its always like 70% videos b/w 10-35min and 15% videos over 2h, and its barely ever anything in-between tbh i'd naturally watch a 10-35min video sooner or immediately rather than an hour+ long one that i'd need to either split or find REALLY enough free time (background works but if its actually a video it's surely a more complete experience to watch it), even tho i'm always super excited and impressed, they end up in my watchlist for longer than intended. the former is just mentally easier to grasp before actually clicking on the video big ups on your videos essays and the work u put into them! never thought of Gothic games from such perspective
@@bosobot Well i never though about those games myself before. It's just i was curious why did i feel so immersed in them so much while i can't in most other rpg's. So i decided to look for the reason :) And as for longer ones, well i really do like them i am a fan of Mauler's critique vids or even Patrician 6-9-11h videos about Elder scrolls :D It's just take A LOT of time which i od not have since i also have a 9-5 and 2 other projects going on in the background and i am not counting youtube
To this day Gothic 2 is still the only game I ever pre-ordered. And I still play 1 and 2 every once in a while. The worldbuilding is a huge part of the reason why :) nice retrospective video 👍
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I can listen about gothic for hours. Just a note : to make wine you don't necessarily need grapes, you can make wine from anything that contain natural sugars (fruits,even vegetables,herbs, berry's) The bandits might Ve used ropes or slide on the rock. The paladins don't really want to stop the orc invasion because they can't all they want is to secure ore and gtfo ^^ Anyway great video my friend, awesome analysis. Make more please, I sub
Thank you very much. -Well the wine thing is not entirely true. Wine is by definition made of grapes but some definitions do add "mostly from grapes" but then that would just make it alcohol overall because alcohol is fermentation of natural sugars. Beer ferment natural sugars from malted grains. Mead is made of fermented sugar from honey. Whiskey is made of natural sugars from malted barely... And we do see the pink/purple colour of wine in the cauldrons when the acolytes smash it. -The merchant specifically says that they jumped* And i don't think he has any reason to lie. :)
Great video! Can't wait for more videos on the other Gothic games/expansions. I'd also watch videos on the Risen or Elex series with just as much interest, if you plan to make those. If not, I'll keep an eye out for any other content you make
great video. i too love to dwell about games and what they are. you have good points like the grapes. i probably just brushed these things of while playing. then again they might have come from the peasants because if i'm not wrong there isn't anything growing on the fields but it could have been grapes before. just an idea, 17:20 i felt the same about the forests, the ones in gothic 1 were just so great, the ones in gothic 2 were just depressing for me, actually the entire game but especially the forests. 20:00 i still remember thinking the same but i thought it made sense if maybe it was all just a lie by him. i love it when media does that. i don't remember the outcome, i think it wasn't, but it would have been cooler that way.
20:00 We know it's not a lie since there is a quest to take back a piece of his stolen cargo. The reason why it's such a strange quest that seems unreal (especially when you add the fact that there are sekeletons next to the cart - how long does a corpse turn into a skeleton?) because it was added by the expansion. In the vanilla game it's just a piece of enviromental storytelling. And as for the grapes, khorinis does not look like an island with a climate that could grow grapes... well at least if you ignore the expansion.
Would love to at some point, however i played it only once and i would like to re-play it as a stream when i'll have more subs, then after that make a vid on it. G1 and 2 i've beaten like 4-6 times so i have a pretty good understanding of those games. I experience not enough Archolos to do it for now.
20:10 Fun fact, if you jump rather than walk off ledges you take way less fall damage. I'm pretty sure you can survive that if you jump.
Huh, i actually tried that and it worked...

What is wrong with 4 hours video? I can listen to retrospectives/reviews of my favorite games while at the office. :D
Great content and keep it up!

I still remember my desperate sprint through the orcs to get into the castle without dying. Gothic 2 is such a masterpiece.
Thanks to your films, i don't need to play or read about plot line in Gothic 1/2 :) You presented them very detailed and organized here!
Great recommendation, fantastic video. Praise the algorithm!
I really apprecieate you involved Kistru's Djiin song
I hope the video about NOTR comes out one day.
One day :)
You weren't joking when you said the video's coming, but I didn't expect it that fast! Great one as always.
It was suppose to be out a week earlier actually i just didn't finish it on time :D
Lots of work and passion went into this video, and the result shows this. Thank you for your effort and for this piece of art!
I would love a video like this made for Archolos

Love your work, expect more videos from your channel. The homecoming point about Valley of Mines is really the strongest I felt in a game.

I just find your channel and i'm glad I did. Amazing work! Keep doing what your doing! Can't wait for another video
Thank you for your kind words sir
Great video! Looking forward to the second part.
This is an amazing video, thank you.
nice video, thanks a lot
Thrilled for Part2

with such quality content, how the hell you only have 193 subs?
Good question :D
Nice video again

You can loot stacks of items with alt key instead of one item with cursor ...
Bandits jumped on the caravan, not on the ground.
Will you do a video about Archolos (the standalone gothic 2 mod)?
Would love to at some point, however i played it only once and i would like to re-play it as a stream when i'll have more subs, then after that make a vid on it. G1 and 2 i've beaten like 4-6 times so i have a pretty good understanding of those games. I experience not enough Archolos to do it for now.
Polski version :P
Yes, it jest
Awesome game,cant wait for the gothic remake💯💯💯
