[Bild: hardcorechallengebannersj9.png] Hello and welcome, wary traveler. This is the Hardcore Gothic Challenge and our mantra is: Do not die and do not reload. To prevent disqualification, please take a moment to read the rules and leave all ideas of spamming behind. Thank you.
#1: This is a no reloads game which means that whatever choices you make, you made 'em and that's it. You save when you stop playing and load when you start playing again. When you die it's game over.
#2: Please leave thread-destructive comments like "Playing this way is stupid" or "You're missing the whole point of Gothic" aside. This method of playing is for experienced and very patient players as it requires a lot of forward planning. So if you don't like it, don't do it.
#3 When you want to participate, make a clear statement on it and an introductory post where you'll put your character build (more on this later) and if you plan on roleplaying, some personality info.
#4 Clearly mark your official character diary posts with a headline like "Huntsman's Hardcore Dragon Hunter" so that they are easy to find amongst other user comments.
#5 DO NOT CHEAT, THIS IS FOR FUN ONLY. No one will win big bucks or ultimate respect for beating the game with a mage in a day or killing a dragon snapper at lvl 1.
#6: Mods that don't change the storyline are allowed, and listed in the "Modded Games" section.
#7 BY TAKING PARTICIPATION IN THIS CHALLENGE YOU ARE OBLIGED TO CLEARLY MARK THE POST WHERE YOU STATE YOUR CHARACTER'S DEATH OR VICTORY OVER THE CHALLENGE IN LARGE, COLORED FONT
TIPS
#1 Be very careful and plan your every move.
#2 If you're not sure you can handle it...RUN!
#3 Don't hesitate to ask for advice in this thread like "Do you guys think I could do the black troll at lvl 25 with Large Fire Storm?"
#4 Do not attack enemies in groups. Lure every enemy, no matter how weak it/he is.
#5 In hardcore brave = stupid and dead in most cases.
#6 Idle hands are devil's playground. If you suddenly feel like risking it for quick booty - call it a day.
#7 Don't go near cliffs and when you do - walk instead of run. There is a great chance you could fall and end your adventure in a stupid way. After all, it's realistic to slip up in an unknown, steep mountain path.
#8 Do not have mercy for your enemies. Never let it attack, always keep it at a distance and use all power that you have available.
#1 Everything seems different. The dialogues, the world, the enemies, it's a whole new Gothic experience. Recommended for players who've already beaten Gothic with every character and know their way around.
#2 When an NPC tells you "Wow, you're brave!" there's a great chance you'll really feel this way, even if it's not much, because you're putting your life on the line here and not just reloading 10 times until you make 2 critical hits in a row in order to kill the enemy.
#3 You just wanna read through all the dialogues...again. Trust me.
#4 Makes you feel real and alive.
#5 You won't feel guilty for knowing the game and it's secrets, weapons and being good at it. This is where it all counts.

#4 was Bastardo's thread back then, and when I opened #5 I didn't check the previous threads.
No man, Special thanks to you, you are the only one willing to keep this thread alive, so we should all be thankful to you
Decree: when this thread reaches 400 posts and gets locked, by law of the eldar, Zeri0n shall create the intro post of the next one from the ground up (seeing as how you can't edit or quote a post from a locked thread, to obtain the pre-formated text). Accounted to immediate effect.

The aggressive boars. I made one mistake: I remembered there was one fewer of them than there actually was. I had a buddy with me, but the last one managed to get two lucky strikes on me.
I knew it was gonna be my end when I saw them come running down and there was one more than I counted on. FFFFUUUUUUUU- I thought, but when the last one was left, I had okayishly health and it would've required one more strike to fell, I was already feeling hopeful. But in vain.
Alright, think i've prepared anything, i made myself a list with all things i need to do and other stuff, this is gone be exciting (after the fail last time in chapter 4 iceblocked by IceGolem)
I might have to try this, without even having passed the normal game (with NotR addon). Is that a bad idea, or do you think that I'd be able to do it? It sounds like a lot of fun though...
Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for another.

well good luck with it
since if you dunno a thing about gothic 2, oh well, good luck...
just keep up the good spirit, no matter how many times you die-start over, you should try once more , and if it's too hard for you, then try to pass the game for the first time, without going hardcore...
Don't need to ask for tips, read the first post, tips there are simple and great, helped me a lot, since i was dieing a lot at the beginning.
if you need help about a quest, or if you see something ,,suspicious" in the game, feel free to ask
Good luck mate, you are gonna need it
