Free Aiming
Free aiming patch for Gothic, Gothic Sequel, Gothic 2 and Gothic 2 NotR
This is a modular modification (a.k.a. patch or add-on) that can be installed and uninstalled at any time and is virtually compatible with any modification.
It supports Gothic 1, Gothic Sequel, Gothic II (Classic) and Gothic II: NotR.
Generated from szapp/patch-template.
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](https://github.com/szapp/GothicFreeAim/wiki#wiki-content).
## 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.

## Notes
- The settings automatically adjust to the game's language.
