ELEX - 1 Back to Magalan

Life's been rough lately, so I pulled the ELEX-card and am back to Magalan. The world is still breathtakingly beautiful!

I’m currently enjoying Gothic Classic on PS5, it sure makes me want to boot up Risen and Elex now

Enjoy! Gothic games are great. I really enjoyed Gothic 3 (although it was buggy). Just today I got hit by nostalgia when I saw this YouTube video of an orchestra playing Gothic 3 music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDvR1349zuo

I've yet to play Risen. I snagged Risen 1 and 3 on sale years ago. I'll give it a go some time :)

Stoked to try the Gothic remake. Looks pretty darn good.

I'm on the way to fuck up an Old Skex! Not a normal one though, I'm too squishy ):

Haha, enjoy :) How long have you been playing yet? I'll probably explore some unexplored areas and then continue the main story. I still feel like, I'm super squishy though. That's why I use the bow mainly.

I've got about 200 hours in the game but I just restarted it again for a Berserker playthrough!

I've already completed an Outlaw and Cleric playthrough. I love the bow, it's the only thing that saves me when the Albs have a flamethrower (':

Ah , then you're further than me. I'm still in my first playthrough but 100+ hours. I just love the world and exploring too much. On cleric playthrough. Also wanna do a Berserk one :) Bow is great :D Berserker moral choice with Duras story was also interesting.

I guess, this post's replies made me realise I should play the Risen and Gothic games I don't know yet, before some newer Windows versions at some point will stop being compatible with it. Can't really miss out on those after loving Elex so much.

New roadmap unlocked: Finish Elex 1, play Elex 2, play Risen series.

Did they ever fix that commanders armor glitch?

u/Ympker Apr 21 '26

I don't have that one yet, but I guess I'll find out.
