Alright, managed to mod up Gothic 3 to my liking. Higher draw distance is a must. At default max you can clearly see zones drawing before your eyes. It bothered me all those years ago and it still would now. But luckily now it's gone.
Now the question is, should I actually play it? I played it back when it first came out and even as a kid I could tell it was several levels below G1 and G2.

If you've the kraut autism to manage it then yes
It's pretty shit, eh
I do find it funny how you need comptures of today to run a 2006 game properly
>should I play a game I just spent hours modding
this is a terrible premise for a thread
It took five minutes, I just installed three fanpatches in order and copied a premade ini file with the draw distance setting.
Single good things about g3 is graphic, world scale and music.
Its fun to fuck around but nothing more.
>hours
nigga it's all retard proofed at this point
>nigga
Sorry, Nigger with hard R as a proper insult
Gothic 3 is unsalvageable
You can fix bugs and improve graphics but core gameplay is just not fun
Archolos is real Gothic 3, I consider it more canon than 3
You didn't mod it enough yet
you need the content mod too
it's a must have
also get these

I dunno, are random quests from the Content mod actually good?
they are alright
mostly more of the same stuff
BUT it also changes a bunch of things like how the armor or orcs look and even adds a bunch new armor in the game
Alright, I'll keep that in mind.
For reference, I went with
Community Patch
Upgrade Pack for Community Patch
Parallel Universe Patch
+ the INI
and this was enough as far as stability goes.
>unironically playing G3
Zoomer tier
Already played it
AND Forsaken Gods
Even worse i'm playing ArcaniA now
>sinitar
the guy has the combability mod in his yt vid description for all those mods that you can't find anywhere else so he's based for making my G3 experience enjoyable
If some people manage to play Bethesda games then you should have no issue playing what is a pretty decent game.
I'm still untouched by Bethesda.
Let it stay that way
>I consider it more canon than 3
what
3 xardas ending literally sets up risen universe
I'm morbidly curious about Morrowind.
The first couple hours are ok, it's basically a long journey through a bunch of cities you never return to. I always ran out of steam in the northern part cause it's just endless canyons full of a gazillion orcs.
Imagine Gothic with cardboard cutouts NPC that all dumb identical wikipedia pages on you, a larger but empty world full of copy and pasted enemies, level scaling, horrible combat, broken economy and a "you are the hero" story, that is Morrowind.
Damn, perhaps my rare untouched status is worth more than that.
>Now the question is, should I actually play it? I played it back when it first came out and even as a kid I could tell it was several levels below G1 and G2.
Yes. Just lower your expectations because it's got a lot of problems and isn't anywhere near as good as G1 and G2
one of the best deserts in videogames by the way
Deserts are based.
Blade and Soul had a really nice one too.
Trust me you are not missing anything, ironically Oblivion and Skyrim are somehow even worse.
With all the patches Gothic 3 is a good experience but as a Gothic fan it still feels like an old wound that will never stop hurting, bought that piece of crap on day one and it barely run on my PC and the bugs were awful

Disable postprocessing, it looks better without it.
Also while we're at it, what's the local opinion about The Returning for G2?
Some guy recently made a new English translation.

Some guy here was really, really butthurt about it, saying it was unbalanced and broken as fuck, never played it myself so i dunno.
I played 3 right after finishing the other two first. The mmo fetch quests made it rather boring, but the dogshit melee combat revolving around either stunlocking or being stunlocked is the worst. It gets too repetitive too quickly, which is bad due to game's enormous size. I tried to complete it a couple of times but gave up soon after leaving myrtana

Yeah. I played a lot of games which were broken on release (looking at VtM:B--completely unfinishable on day 1) but G3 was sad. Even after using the patches, I still hated aspects like the combat and your companion just randomly backstepping and no-clipping into the ether and then returning 5 minutes later, even if you save/reload
Yeah, I've been hearing similar things.
