Gothic 2 NOTR - What happened? 

I would love to hear your opinion about the world-building in Gothic 3. In my opinion there was a lot of potential that was sadly never realised because of time constraints. Especially because many locations were already mentioned in Gothic 1&2. Maybe you could do a video about how to better combine the worlds of all three games to make it feel more coherent?

Archolos next? That video would definitely take one hour easily but I would love watching every minute of it.

Hey, cool video! I know your channel is about writing, but originally I found you becasue of your Gothic videos, so... A Gothic 3 analysis (especiallya negative one) would probably generate views. But if I may suggest something: do a world building video about Archolos.

A worldbuilding video on Archolos could be fun!

This is a really cool video. Glad to see some love given to such a great game 😊

You could say the desert canyon is the result of the rain shadow effect since it's separated from the coast by mountains. I think it's fair to forgive the usage of the Ring of Water armour as this is Gothic and faction armours are a key part of the experience. I think the reason the pirate camp has not been discovered is just the fact that there are no ships left to discover them 😂. The orcs pretty much rule the sea since the battle of the Eastern Archipelago hence why Esmeralda is the only one left.. All in all a good video and extra praise for refusing to cover Gothic 3!

Nostalgia (for simpler times) PS Hails & cheers from the Netherlands, ya absolute madman!

Even though I'm a long term fon of Gothic 1 + 2, I've still learned a few things and got to think about inconsistencies I never paid too much attention to. I'd actually love to see a Gothic 3 dissection, mostly because I completely agree with your take on the game and would love to hear your criticism. Also it would serve as a conclusion to the your Gothic video series with an admittedly tragic ending. But all of that is up to you.

Watched all 3 Gothic videos in a row. As much as I love the games, I still have to agree on the flaws you pointed out. Right now I’m playing Archolos, it’s a mod for gothic 2. haven’t finished it yet, but I’m impressed by it. I think it does a pretty good job in world building. Having it’s own world map, factions and story. Might be worth taking a look at. And also maybe Enderal, a mod for TES Skyrim. I think it does a good job at attempting to tackle the world building problems Skyrim has.

Yeah, as good as it is, NotR does stand out and feels a little out of place in the game, doesn't help how different the (english) voice acting sounds from the base game, but the mesoamerican style always felt a little weird to me. Which is surprising considering PB did so well with the ruin designs in the first game and could have easily reused them in the addon, and it would also make sense lore-wise. Also, what's up with the watchtower near the pirate camp? The area is supposed to be undiscovered, yet it has a Myrtanian style tower built inside. Makes me think only the coastal area was explored, and a pass to the interior wasn't found before the area was forgotten.

Great video! What are your thoughts on Risen? I’ve only played the first game, it’s not great but at least decent, I think. And also Elex, I’ve tried playing it recently. It only reminded me about Gothic.
