Some concepts are quite interesting, like the books, that give once various boni. Maybe the idea will make it into Reborn, or NL mod. But the remaining ideas heavily interrupt the games flow. Who wants to go back to desktop every two minutes? Especially in the early levels you level up like crazy. You have to ask yourself what the gaming shall be. Burden, or fun.

I think supersexycool describes it the best way. Combined with other mods, Sacred 2 becomes a whole new experience.

Hehe. The boar has the same facial expression like my dog when he did something wrong. Even the tongue is out a bit!

Videogame addiction and massive consumption of video games is slowing down your mind and has a tremendously negative effect, especially on young folks. Which are the future of any country. Unfortunately, the whole article is hidden behind a member wall in the "Der Spiegel" magazine. Is it overreacting then to keep sh!t away from the population? I think not. We all know that the Prohibition did not work out, so the change must come from the inside. Example: After taking a swim, your brain will release all brain chemistry related drugs at once for easily 15 minutes in a row. Thats the key. The secret is, to trick your kids into the pool and let them swim for a while. A big, fat win for all sides, except the sad-faced gaming industry, which stands crying and alone outside. What shocks me is the completely ruthless buisness behavior in the US. I tell you straight in your face, that US companies have no problem with it to devastate even their own population, as long as they can mooch off money. Example opioid crisis, or even worse, the story with the endocrine disruptors. Scary stuff. Since you speak German, I will gladly link the whole story on "arte" for you. Just let me know. Speaking of good clean fun, why not play old games? The 90s are full of flawless videogame gems. Bug free mostly, cheap and they run on the oldest machines. Modders keep things up to date, even continue working on the game. There are infinite numbers of rpgs, shooters, tactical games, slashers, what ever your heart desires, you will find it. Imho today, you will hardly find quality stuff like Deus Ex, Xcom, Ultima series, Jagged Alliance and so on. Games of today simply aim for visual overload, often combined with a ridiculously poor story. Followed by user binding, personal data collection, including data sale by the game company, merchandising and more and more often, the nasty tricks we talked about before. Conclusion from my side: Just stay away from such games. Even drug addicts believe, that they are in control of the drug. The sad truth is: No. They are not. The drug controls its user. The addicts are either to stubborn to accept it, too optimistic, or too dense.

The game we talk about, is a harmful way of money making. By creating a game addiction, the customer shall be drained to the max. Tell me in a few simple words: Where is the difference to drug addiction or alcoholism? As soon as you are addicted, you come back frequently to buy your shot. Does not matter if it is opium, booze, or an item upgrade, you have just bought for 10 bucks. The company wants to see cash and the only thing that matters is, that the addict is sending money in constantly. What happens to you, if you loose your job, ruin your family, your life, or your health, is none of their concern. The governments of Denmark and Belgium acted absolutely correct and protected their citizens from such a sh!t.

The uploader of NL is also the maker of NL.

Both mods, NL and Reborn, made huge leaps forward. It would be wonderful to see a harmonic fusion of both paths.

Wonderful work, Lindor! Splendid!

Wonderful! +1

What a woundrous time we live in. Now, I am waiting to see some Sacred 2 multiplayer videos. Great work, Pollux!

Under such circumstances I would say that your position in Bavoria is well deserved.

Impressive indeed. Do not know how many hours you have put in to get the whole thing fixed, but I am sure it took months and months. Big respect to you from my side. Sometimes however, I ask myself if doing all the modding on your own is a curse or a gift.

Mmh? How is that possible? The game´s code is encrypted. So either Strahd did everything on his own over the years, or he is is a former member of the Studio 2 and salvaged some tools before the downfall. Or he grabbed, driven by pure luck, the only working copy on the planet when he bought the game back in the day. But speculations aside, with a release we would have in theory 3-4 new versions floating around. Reborn Mod, Raven Rock, the version where the world is covered with ice and snow, and Dimitrius´ pureblood Sacred. Smells like trouble to me.

I am aware of Sacred Coopaso´s ground retex and the Darkbloods channel. IF these mods are accessible to public after all, is higly questionable. More likely is that they are made for certain circles of followers and not the broad mass of Sacred gamers. Otherwise, at least a tiny snippet or whatever, would have been released. Which means, you and others, are most likely out. Sorry, bud. Just my humble opinion. Well, yeah. You can of course join such a circle and gain full premium access to everything and blablabla. Go for it, bud. https://www.youtube.com/user/FrederickKoopaso https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmV-IEUmupCZ2EeGiO8Qt0Q There are also the mod crews of Sacred NL and Overlookers Klan, but the current situation is difficult. They surely have other problems right now. Sacred 1 will surely see more updates when times are better.

You are right. Mounted combat gives the game a nice little extra flavor. Imo Dark Elf -> strongest. (You also get +1 to everything if you use spider mount mod.) Vampire is good too, since her paralyzer attacks are faster available again whe she is riding a horse. Using Arles Tgaws Net, the Vampire can perma charge.

It started already in S1. In the very rare occasions I give the Wood Elf a try, I mostly enjoy the WE´s extra set of animations. It is so incredibly well made. Who ever was responible for it, he should get a medal. I think the well made animations, plus the highly interactive characters added a huge chunk of depth to both games. It is surely a factor why people regard S1 and Sacred 2, despite all these years, as well made products, which do not need to hide in comparison to other, newer games.

Interesting indeed. I do not play Sacred 2 and won´t do it anytime soon, but I have to confess that the project catched my attention. +1

Overlookers and the maker of Sacred NL are not the only guys who are busy. There is quite a lot of magic happening since a few months. Good old S1 shines like a star. Things that have been regarded as entirely impossible get in reach slowly. It is fantastic. The only problem is, that the most people here do not see what is happening. If you ask me, stay tuned!

Hello Aduncio Sry for the late reply. I have checked Wolfe´s Lair, the "bonus" to two handed weapons exits already since a long time. Since Overlookers are reworking the whole thing, the issue will be taken care of sooner or later. There are many more of such mishaps. Well. Until the issue is solved, just ignore it.

The user desm here in the forum can surely help you out with a french localization of Sacred 1. Just pm him.

Well, glad you like it. Back in the day, the S1 forum was far more active. Modders fueled each others fire, it was a real pleasure. I am hoping so much that the old spirit returns an is recandled again, but currently the situation is difficult. Maybe, when things have calmed down a bit more. Currently, the torch has been handed over to the EU community and there is quite a lot of potential. I would really like to see a united team that puts up something remarkable. Speaking of a polish version of Sacred1, just ask this guy here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10iW35ffMioSsz_1nU3jnQ

Hm. Where did it all go? Guess I added too many things to the fist post. Well, ...here are the Discord invitation links. https://www.gog.com/forum/sacred_series/sacred_discord_server ...and some promising Youtube channels: https://www.youtube.com/user/FrederickKoopaso https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmV-IEUmupCZ2EeGiO8Qt0Q ...and the link to the italian Sacred forum: https://sacredonlinecommunity.forumfree.it/ ...plus the link to Project Life Leech, the S1 remake: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg0KLucTfIP8NeBsXcVJU7A

I know Icewind 1 and 2. Loved the first one for its beauty and the second one for its surprising depth. For a slasher it was quite good. Yes it is true. The new owners of the franchise, Beamdog, cant recreate Icewind 2, since the source code is lost. Speaking of remakes, there is a new Sacred, aka Life Leech, looming at the horizon, created by a long time S1 fan, Thorium. He posts frequently on Youtube. Looking good, imho, but a final release is surely years away. Sacred can definitely be modded, the problem is, that the info about the how-to is scattered across the forum. You find snippets here and there, sometimes hidden in lengthy posts, sometimes buried under several answers. I will sum it up quickly: Extraction tools for textures and various other files. http://forum.rpgarea.ru/sitefiles/PakExtractor.rar http://www.mediafire.com/file/h43bcppuu7t46yr/sacred_tex_extractor.zip/file http://www.mediafire.com/file/8fctaiadtx2avv8/sacmodextr.zip/file http://www.mediafire.com/file/e0in75qafonpnr2/grn2gr2_conv.zip/file Available languages, dubbed https://mega.nz/#F!lsEnXC7a Key !uQ-hA-2MoDyosoH758uDyA Available languages, text https://bit.ly/Download_Sacred_Reborn Needs installation, followed by the renaming of the text file + relocation. That should do the trick. You can also ask italian users here, or in the discord forum if they can send it to you. How to import models into the game Various mini mods and treasures

It is of course your choice. Just want so say that the most parts of the remaining S1 community, including modders, have left the forums and turned to Discord. There are quite some S1 italian players and makers on youtube, if Discord is nothing for you. Just search for Tur0kz, UglukPVP, or Frederico Sassetti. The broken controls, guess you talk about the button B, which is meant to heal henchmen quickly, when pressed by the player according to the handbook, is only one of hundreds of bugs which never have been fixed. Reborn team has squashed countless of them already, but there are still many to go. Since no one else handles bugs, the games code is encrypted btw, there is no quick and easy solution for your problem I am afraid. A possibility is to ask OLKs, the guys from Sacred Reborn, on Youtube if they can add your, definitely valid point to the to-do list, but a standalone version, separated from Reborn is, imho, unlikely. Until then, all you can do is to equip Adelina better. You can either pick ranged, but no Elven stuff and no crossbows, and socket some useful rings. Max sockets are 3. Sword and shield style is possible too, max sockets are 6 to 7. If you ask me, get her some Life Leech and Wounds increase damage dealt modifiers. Confronting Dragons while Adelina follows you, is a ride on a razors edge.

Reborn Mod turns Moca and Wilbur into useful henchmen, giving them the right gear, like the Albion sword, makes them even better. Adelina has not been modified yet and due to her low stats, she is rather a burden than a help. Since you are from Italy, Id suggest to join the italian discord group around the Sacred Tribute team. You find the invitation links on youtube, gog and steam.
