you get over 60000 ore in gothic 1 without exploits like smithing. In Gothic 2 the game world is bigger and still you can manage to get 60000 - 100000 gold during the course of the game. And there is nothing you can spend it on.

So there is nothing grindy about it

but how come a hide of a shadow beast sells only for 38 gold?
or weapons sell only for 20%?

I find the prices just fair. Why do everyone think you just can go into a shop and the guy there is eager to buy your crap?

Be glad someone will give you even a little bit for all the garbage you find. Have you ever been to a pawn shop? Pick up a few of your things and then look how much you get there.

i dunno man, a shadow beast hide is quite prized
as for weapons, rusty $hit i get it
but when a regular sword that costs 500 gold
sells for 75 gold, now that is a ripoff
it should be at least 200 gold

The 500 is for a brand new one. But you just want to sell an a$$ old sword you just found in the wilderness. Maybe its rusty and jagged.

Besides that the guy who buys it is doing it with a big risk. He gives you money and maybe never sells it because nobody wants to buy it.

Besides that since there is no economy in the game they set the prices for balance reasons. This means you get that amount because otherwise you would have too much money in the beginning of the game.

And as I said before the amount you get is even way too high because you can accrue about 60000-100000 gold during the game which is an insane amount because you will become like Croesus or Midas in comparison to everyone else. Even the rich NPCs don't have more than 200 gold normally

If they had balanced it right you would even get less. I would say 2-5 percent of the selling price would be ok.

not rusty or jagged, brand new looted from a chest
a dex based sword that costs 500 sells for 75
whoever decided to make this game grindy as hell (1000 gold to join the fire mages)
is dumb as ♥♥♥♥
Gothic 1 was so much better than this, better camps, better characters and better world design
Gothic 2 is linear, grindy and lacks the immersion the first gothic had

i'll just F it and uninstall.

that's the best thing u can do buddy, and don't come back.

I've reinstalled and went pure STR alchemist build doing all the quests then joining mercenaries
appearntly, you get high requirement STR weapons very early in the game

so i don't need to buy anything aside from potions and alchemy bottles to tank ♥♥♥♥ in combat
while the the system is flawed and you get pitiful money for items

as a str build, "earth mother provides all" seeing all those wonderful healing roots and organic wild grown swords are just everywhere if you know where to look

Yeah the game is so good you couldn't even live without it a single day.

Gothic is like hard liquor
it's hard to swallow at first and gives you terrible hangovers

but after sipping for a couple of hours you feel the psychological need for more
even with the game treats you like $hit, even when the graphics makes your eyes bleed
you simply can't get enough of gothic

even though 1 was better, 2 is still great on it's own

Cuz this game is ♥♥♥♥
