Most people probably don't like it, but when your melee weapon collides with world geometry, your attack actually collides with the environment and your weapon gets bounced back and you get a small "stun". This is rare afaik, probably because it's annoying for most players, but I actually like it. A classic game that had that feature was Silent Hill 2 from the same era as Gothic (but OG Gothic didn't have this). I know most people find such features annoying but I actually find them interesting, it forces you to take the environment into account in small spaces, ok I'll attack from the left because I will hit the door if I attack on the right, ok I will sweep because the ceiling is too low, etc.

We've had a slew of countless remakes and remasters for far more popular franchises than Gothic in the last 15 years, that were just called like the original game while the publishers said "this isn't replacing your OG game, it exists alongside it" while giving all their efforts to make the OG game disappear. As of right now, if I type "Gothic 1" into Steam the OG comes up before the remake in the search bar.

My mom ruins everything ever since I was a little kid, I'm 35 now so I'm tired. My dad couldn't stand her and made a new family decades ago, I can't blame him (thanks for leaving me with a narcissist mom but w/e) but that means I have to deal with her bipolar ass because mom is mom, but she's genuinely evil in the way she finds options to insult you and make you feel as bad as humanly possible while being a parasite. I can't wait for her to finally die but I KNOW I will die before her, because of the stress she causes me.
