Gothic

[Cap. Narnatonis]

Well... The controls are kind o tricky... U have to hold ctrl to atack and release it to move again for evadin atacks... But, when u get used to it, bringin down an Orcish Elite Fighter (The worst enemy u can fight, in my opinion) becomes the most fun thing in the game... U can even do it in low-low levels... :P Just don't try to fight more than one of those things if u're not REALLY good... :crazy:

The weird controls system makes the game much more player-dependant, makin the skills somethin secondary... I liked that... (Of course that, this only aplies to close combat. Ranged is worthless whitout high skill levels :( ).

One more thing: this is the first game I've played where enemy human NPCs and Monsters have a great difference. Humans are like the main char, parryin atacks (somethin that makes the target suffer no damage :( ), evadin and even counter-atackin u just the way u can do. Monster can't be bloqued (unless they are Orcs) and don't block atacks (cause they are unarmed; once again, Orcs CAN block atacks), they just evade it gettin out of the way.

These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives

Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?"
