GOTHIC Iceberg #5 

Sliverz and Vertigo linked up! Need it or keep it?

Nice job team! Totally worth of the another exotic funfact: Ever wondered how many bricks were used to build Khorinis? Think no more! In February 2020, some bored Poles counted the number of bricks we can see in the city. Of course, this is not an ideal method and it would take a lot more thinking to estimate the thickness of the walls or the number of bricks that cannot be seen. But, from what one can see on the textures: - the city walls on both internal and external sides, as well as the walls of buildings containing bricks, are composed of 27,366 bricks - the city towers have 46,656 bricks - gates and covered passages have 3,366 bricks - the foundations of the walls and buildings are 1,784 bricks In total, there are 78,172 bricks in the city of Khorinis Also: - average brick dimensions are 250x120x65 millimeters - on average, 1 brick weighs 3 kg, and the price for 1 brick is approximately 0.66 PLN (Polish zloty) - to build 1 square meter of wall, approximately 53-54 pieces are needed - in the case of Khorinis, the bricks covered a total area of 1,447.5 square meters, and the price for this number of bricks is 21,593.52 PLN Credits to J. Jasiłek and his loosers.. i mean fellas for this breakstone in gothicology xd

About the business management mechanic - it is indeed true that we were supposed to invest in the Mine below Mist Tower. Nameless could recruit some miners in chapter 3, as well as recently formed demon hunters as guards, and other minor personel. Additionally, you could teach your employees how to make certain things, how to mine mine more efficiently etc. The blood (also known as Dark Ore) ore could be used for rune creation (if you've learned that from Lester), delivered to the Fire Mages (they wanted 1000 chunks of it) or simply sell it. Rhobar's Daughter's role is fairly simple, as she was (kind of) a princess archetype. She was locked in the Stone Fortress' highest tower and she could be visited by Nameless and she could yell at her, tell her to undress or ask her to take a bath. The entry about Sleeper's Dream could refer to how Y'berion had a vision from said demon and founded the brotherhood. True, it is refer to in game as a vision, but sometimes, Occam's Razor is all that you need. Ancients from Varrant and the builders from Jharkendar aren't related. Probably. Firstly, the Ancients were Innos worshipers as they were people who followed the eternal wanderer and that guy used to worship Innos. Secondly the architectural styles don't match up, as Ancients have inspirations from ancient persian architecture and the Builders have a style similar to mesoamerican civilizations. On the other hand, they could be related in a sense that the Builders could've been the peoples that did not follow the eternal wanderer and wondered to to Khornis... somehow. Also, here's a video that goes waaay more in depth into cancelled gothic sequel which goes through the most of the design document written by Stephan Nyul: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P5z0CFePQmc.html Anyways, nice video man.

oh boy, nothing like coming back from work and enjoying this piece of art media alone.

we did it

Great, now I have to forget the Eye of Innos on purpose so I can annoy Xardas. 😂

Great collaboration ⭐ Now im going to watch this and comment on some points later. Great work and keep delivering us this awesome content we all love ✌️👑

About Xardas being an immortal being, there is a Gothic prequel named "Gothic 3: The Beginning", which is a java game for Ericson devices that takes place 100 years before the main events of Gothic, and the protagonist of the game is Xardas in his 20s.

10:47 bruh I totally forgot how bloody terrifying Sleeper was. I'm gonna have nightmares from this shot. Sleeper was everything that the Undead Dragon wished he could have been. Such a pity you don't actually fight Sleeper himself on Irdorath...

ayooooooooo Sliverz and Vertigo, here we go! Thanks for these!

The more I hear about the cut content of Gothic 1, the more I wish somebody would do a similar modification like Archolos with all the content added back. I know, there are a few mods, that add a few things, but I can still imagine Gothic 1 being a completely different game if there still were other side quests after the first chapter, if you could still take multiple routes towards the ending and even make the story end in multiple ways. Sure, it would require a huge rebalancing, but that is something that the game would need anyway. The game would be 3 times as long in the end. And it would get rid of the fast progress of the character after the 2nd chapter (seriously, after the first chapter, you can become eg. a shadow, fire mage, water mage and necromancer all in like 3 in game days).

Hello my dear folks of the barrier!

Not me binge watching your videos, after stumbling on one.

Then you shall feel the power of the master! You cannot elude it! 😈

Let's goooo!

Brother not to be that guy, but "Schläfers Bann" is not "Sleepers ban" it's more like "Sleepers spell" or "Sleepers Charm". I know the archive calls it like that too, but if it would be "ban" it would be called "Schläfers Verbannung" or something in that direction. Just my take, could be wrong.

I guess the sleepers dream is just another substance from the swamp camp. In german most of the substances have similar names. One for example is "Traumruf" (Call of dream). For me it makes sense, that they names something even more powerfull "Schläfertraum" (Sleepers dream).

8:11 it's about mining new Bloody Magic Ore (I don't know how to translate it properly). We as a player had to recruit and menage people to mine this new type of ore, it was needed in main story quest.

This one was the most interesting for sure, so far :)

Nice work guys , btw what microphones do you use>??

Na I'm not camping

3:21 this dudes expression looks weirdly real, its funny how they were able to put so much life on potato faces, meanwhile with todays technology it still looks artificial and fake

Where did you get the Xardas voiceover reading the letter? Some kind of AI?

Oh i get the idea of the mine crawler milk but how did they do it they are not easy to kill at any lvl let a lone captain

very well read in german :D

5th's video... And here we are having some Skyrim fan bragging about TES lore!!!! Ha-ha!

17:38 why should he be dead? He's alive cause he didnt die... hä

15:12 why?

I should have watched the video to the end before commenting. I'll get banned for spam 🙈 19:25 probably the other way around. The ancients of varant were followers of Innos, not Adanos. An their story tells how some people leave and start praying to Adanos. (And their caste systems is identical and so on)

what about gothic 1 alpha details?
