About

Free aiming for ranged combat and spells incl. free movement while aiming (new animations). Head shots are critical hits. Projectiles have variable trajectory, gravity and damage.

This patch is based on Gothic Free Aim.

Settings

Free aiming is available in two configurations that are accessible from the game menu.

OFF	Use Gothic's traditional auto aiming
BALANCED	Free aiming in balanced configuration
REALISTIC	More difficult with additional modulators on accuracy: If the bow is not drawn to its full extend (see reticle animation), the shooting distance decreases (faster gravity drop) the accuracy decreases (lower hit chance) the damage output is reduced If the crossbow is not held steadily, i.e. no mouse movement (see reticle animation), the accuracy decreases (lower hit chance) the damage output is reduced The crossbow has a weapon recoil (vertical camera shift) depending on the player's strength. Moving while shooting reduces the accuracy by 20%

Further configuration

In your Gothic installation, you find a file called Gothic.ini, e.g. in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II\System\. More settings are available in the Gothic.ini file. For detailed information visit the wiki.
