Totaly linear gameplay?

[General Moroz]

So... I spend EIGHT HOURES in main village. No chance to choose guild. No chance to get in the city. Only Jorn and his wound. Absolutly not like in Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 - this games much more freely. Maybe i missed something?..

[.:Jj:.]

It's not Gothic 1 or 2. It's a fan-made, standalone modification. Not sure what is the subject of criticism, the fact that Acholos is not 'just like' something else? It has it's own story and structure and it's fine in general and fine here on its own.

Hi, you're literally at the beginning of the mod.
First chapter is pretty much an introduction to the mod and first area which is Silbach Village.
Once you manage to enter the Archolos City you can try to join one of two factions.
Have fun.

Lol "not like G1"? LOL Gothic 1 after 2 chapter was linear af xD

What do you mean only Jorn wound? I've been in the village and i'm literally becoming an alchemist by cleaning houses and stealing ♥♥♥♥, can't wait to graduate the school of alchemy

the game is not linear. yes, there is the main quest line but there are many side quests and you can go whereever you waant. just like the original gothic.
op is clearly wrong.
everybody reading this dont let op discurage you from trying the game!

Not linear as much as it could be for a game on G2 engine.

Tnx. Just my opinion - prologe (yes, it is) must be ended after first entering Silbah Village. Now... right design for separate locations, strange design for open world.

Sorry, nope. This is railroad. Look like devs create several locations with main story, but than sewed together. Imagine version of Gothic 2, where first 6-10 houres you spend on Lobarts farm... without options. Five ways to get into the city? Pffff, not today. Onars farm instead of citizenship procedure? Ah, not in this version of Gothic 2.

So... good job, but IMHO need big addon.

Im not sure what you mean. Game gives you choices all the time. There are literally several ways to enter the city. If you only found one then maybe its not mod that is a problem here. And joining mercs at Onars farm led you into the upper city, same as joining city guard. Only difference were quests you did in the meantime, same thing in chronicles. Would you be happier if guild and city guard were not in the same city, which is by the way bigger than Khorinis and Onars farm combined? xd

Funny you say that, General Moroz, but there are five ways to get into the city (that I know of)


- by riding inside a barrel (you need to help someone)
- by doing tasks for the lumberjacks (takes some time)
- by going through the sewers (some difficult enemies there)
- by doing tasks for the chief of the first village - probably the easiest way.
- and finally by going there by boat :D


Oh and your progression is blocked mostly by enemies, but you can absolutely visit all important places in chapter 1/2 even. You can find better gear and quests in the world. Which again- you're not physically stopped from venturing into and there are even paths with weaker animals just like in other Gothic games. Not to mention better teachers.


In other words: your complaint has no merit. You simply did not explore the world at all, thinking the main quest ( which does tend to lead you from place to place more than the official games did at the beginning) somehow forbids you from doing that.

Instant gratification slave came here to complaing huh? Not sure how u managed to spend 8 hours in main village without moving further and now u are wasting even more of your time by coming here and making meaningless complaints and whining. what a sad person.

Does this game have a big city? I'm in the village at the beginning and was wondering.

Yes, and I'd say it's at least twice the size of Khorinis.
