I won't dwell on the heretical nature of the latest pages of the off-topic forum and the need for exterminatus. Instead, I'll tell you a fun tale based on real events.
Six years ago, a friend bought a copy of Gothic 2 and immediately regretted it. Due to the general noobishness and lack of experience playing the first Gothic, the guy couldn't even defeat the first wolf. I was also a noob, and after a couple of failed attempts by my friend to get past the cursed wolf, I took control of the game. I miraculously killed this seemingly invincible creature and even hacked a couple of goblins to pieces, but after a couple of minutes, I ate too much grass and was killed by flies. It was an epic fail. But a couple of months later, I installed Gothic 2 on my computer and even switched the controls from the Gothic 1 style to a more familiar action-oriented style. I was overjoyed! Enemies fell easily, allowing me to reach a small farm without any obstacles. Even then, I realized that I wasn't playing a simple game. But a little later, I entered the city and was shocked! I saw how GREAT this game was! How many possibilities it had! I was euphoric because there are very few such masterpieces. I played with passion. But I was just a regular noob, and this marked the beginning of a tragedy. I leveled up surprisingly poorly, so among the guards, there wasn't a cool swordsman with an aura of grandeur and invincibility around him, but a dull and inept loser who could barely hold a sword in his hand and, screaming "MOMMY, TAKE ME BACK!!!" ran away from half of the starting bestiary. Despite the magnificent and detailed world, the guy who would later call himself Hostor, sadly missed out on most of the fun and quests. But he still managed to get an audience with the CHIEF PALADIN! He radiated so much confidence that, blinded, I, shouting "GLORY TO INNOS! DOWN WITH BELIAR!", immediately rushed into the valley. Surprisingly, I didn't get lost and reached two guys in shining armor. Ooh, their armor aroused incredible envy, and I, wanting to prove myself to the CHIEF, ran through the gorge to complete a task. But I'll say again about my noobishness, because because of it, I tried to kill the first orc running towards me about ten times. When I finally succeeded, I rejoiced and ran forward, where I was promptly taken down by the friends of the slain orc. Instead of turning around and finding the passage, I tried to push forward, where I was harassed in every possible and impossible way by these vile creatures. And after a couple of dozen futile attempts, I realized my inadequacy. I understood that I was leveling up like a loser... well, I understood that I was a loser and a complete noob... Helplessness overwhelmed me... I was ready, admitting defeat and my stupidity, to delete the game... But I did what a Noob with a capital "N" would do (this is not a mistake). Cursing in every possible way the creator of all evil creatures, I entered the immortality cheat and killed all the monsters in the gorge. I avenged the many insults to the anus of my hero... And finally made it to the Valley of the Mines. It was dark, and I burned a couple of torches while exploring the surroundings... Then a cutscene appeared with the attack of dragons. I immediately understood that these noble creatures serve evil and must be destroyed... BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE CASTLE WAS!!!11 This was the most epic fail ever... I ran around the collapsed mine from the first part, near the former New Camp, near the future home of the ice dragon, near the harpy tower, near the Xardas tower... I WAS EVERYWHERE, BUT I COULDN'T FIND THE CASTLE!!! I cursed more than I ever had before... I tried to leave the Valley and re-enter it, hoping that the day would come... But in vain! I ran around the goal, but couldn't see it... But luck finally smiled on me, and the Nameless stumbled headfirst into the majestic stone wall! BUT THERE WERE NO ENTRANCES!!!!11 After killing all the orcs and walking around the castle a couple of times, I found the path and climbed up the wooden structure (I don't remember what kind of siege machine it was). From there, my pathetic adventures with the cheat continued and ended with me not being able to complete the quest to leave on a ship from Khorinis and waving goodbye to the game. Gothic fail... But later, the game was reinstalled and played many times without cheats, with full immersion in the world. Gothic rules. Epic end.
GOTHIC NOOBISHNESS.
