Character’s developing is related with laborious improving our hero’s attributes. To achieve that, first we have to get enough amount of experience and promote to higher level to gain few skill points. Next it is necessary to go to a right teacher, which will share his knowledge with us. A solely exception are hitpoints, which we gain passively while promoting to the next levels.
A development of a character is not only improving physical abilities. We have to remeber about getting better equipment giving us protection against various kinds of damage.
Experience points and Skill points
- Experience points – represent your growth through combat and completed tasks. Gain enough to advance in level and earn new skill points.
- Skill points – are earned with each level. Spend them with teachers to improve your attributes and abilities in combat, crafting, and magic.
Attributes
Besides attributes’ development through training at the teachers we can get some points by eating special food and drink the potions.
In comparison to original Gothic 1 from 2001 Alkimia Interactive added TOUGHNESS attribute. To make matters worse a description of the attribute suggests, that LOAD LIMIT will be introduced, and his exceeding will limit our movement.
- Health – is your physical endurance. The more health you have, the more damage you can sustain before falling. Your health will increase with experience, keeping you resilient against ever-stronger foes.
- Mana – fuels your magical abilities. Mana is consumed while casting spells and does not regenerate independently, so plan your rest and item consumption accordingly.
- Strength – expresses your physical prowess. The greater your strength, the more powerful weapons you can wield and the more damaging your melee attacks will be.
- Dexterity – represents your mastery, balance and control over your body. It determines the ranged weapons you can use and improves your ranged attack effectiveness and chance of success while pickpocketing.
- Toughness – is a measure of your ability to bear encumbrance. As you grow tougher, you can carry more items. Overburdening yourself will hinder your movement, so manage your inventory wisely.
Resistance
In comparison to original Gothic 1 from 2001 the developers decided to display a protection against blunt and edge separately, instead just against melee weapons. Magic resistance was also devided to Energy, Ice and Wind. Absolutely novelty is falling resistance – does it mean, that acrobatics loses on meaning?
Increasing our resistance is performed by equipping better equipment. Armour, amulets and rings are only elements, which can help us with it.
- Resistance Blunt – Provides defense against the crushing blows of maces.
- Resistance Edge – Provides defense against the cutting edges of swords and axes.
- Resistance Point – This protection reduces the piercing damage from arrows and bolts.
- Resistance Fire – Designed to shield against the intense heat of flames, this protection ensures you’re less affected by fire-based attacks and hazards.
