Because seeing some of the comments about it makes me want to die. Honestly sometimes it just feels so miserable to be positive about this remake in any capacity.

And I know I should not take such things to heart, but Jesus Christ. The amount of people that straight up wish for this game to fail and say shit like "This game will fail and Alkimia will shut down one month later". It just sucks so much.

Looking at this and how people speak of the devs just makes me realize how shitty we can be and it makes me feel all ewwy about myself. Good lord.

I know we can't be a Guru, but I do hope we will get some way to get more from that path in terms of power. Maybe with Xardas teaching us Dark Arts and getting Dark Arts robe if we are in Sect Camp. That could be a cool way to tie up all the sides of magic. Old Camp with Fire, New one with Water and Sect Bezi eventually becoming Dark Arts master.

Or something of the sort. I dunno. There is lots of talking about New Camp getting more content and I REALLY hope Swamp Camp gets some proper love as well.

It does fill me with positivity because well... it is something I'd like to mention with all of the videos we have so far. Because a lot of them with people who played it and we see their videos it looks like Gothic Remake captures something that should be the key to this whole game.

Progression. All of the videos I saw of this game and people playing has people say how the progression feels like it matters, how it starts them all feeling like dirt and crawling into proper place in the colony and all of them are first time players which I say does mean the game itself does capture what made original so special. These guys sound like I felt when I first played Gothic 1.

You can say anything about art direction or colors or designs which is all I say more subjective stuff and I don't mind many of the changes. It's not perfect, but OG was not perfect either. But I think what matters is that the writing, characters, the world and most importantly the progression and struggle to become a true master is the same as it was in Gothic and it is one of the most essential parts to capture.

And yeah. I did see people mention how AI has issues now, but I do believe (or at the very least REALLY want to believe) that this will be things that will work on release of the Remake. I think I will have lots of fun with the game and if reactions of those people are anything to go by I do think it could be a success among many new players. Old ones can have their issues cause we have point of comparison, but it seems like this game is not something that will take away something truly important from new players and will make them love this world and story and gameplay in the same way we love it now and learned to love it.

Because given that they announced it right before Warhammer Skulls and possibly Beta release date announcement it feels like Owlcat is betting A LOT on that Beta to be strong enough to pull people in to wishlist the game by just watching it from influencers.

Makes me wonder if it will have voice acting as weird as that could be so early. I think that would be a good strat for this beta given that roadmap. That would be a STRONG hook for people to wishlist the game and make content made about it to be easier to watch and get into.

I remember Bricky playing the Beta of Rogue Trader and I do wander if we will see something similar here, but with even more big youtubers in Warhammer space.
