Please, I'm really not trying to start a political discussion. I swear. I am just curious about a "feature" that used to be in Gothic, and now I'm not seeing and am just curious about whether it was intentionally removed or whether the fact I'm using a 3dfx wraparound may be the issue. Can we keep it to just that? I just didn't quite know how to title the thread.
Back "in the day" when I played this, I remember, and I'm quite sure I'm remembering this correctly although I can never say I'm 100% sure because my memory isn't as reliable as it used to be, that when you smoked weed, there was an in-game "high" effect.
I'm not sure how to describe it, but I remember it after smoking a joint you experienced this "high" effect visually, with the screen image becoming, I dunno how to describe it so I'll just say flaky. And it wasn't some graphical glitch, you could easily tell it was trying to simulate a "high" effect somehow visually and it happened whenever you smoked a joint.
This time I'm seeing no such effect. I am seeing in one case my mana increased by 2 (from 5 to 7... yay) and then one also gave me 10 points of experience. But no visual high effect. Did they maybe patch out the high effect and replace it with the other "rewards"? Perhaps those rewards were there last time too, but I swear I do remember seeing the high effect whenever I smoked a joint. I used to show it visitors who visited me when I was playing it.
