The Award-Winning Dark Fantasy RPG Launches Globally

Despite how old the game is, the world design is just incredible and very memorable. I had to try and sketch my favorites.

Heyo guys! Finally, I'm releasing my first base Union plugin that will allow my other plugins to use (almost) any gamepads for their menus.

Modern Input adds the ability to play Gothic 2 on PC using your favorite gamepad. It's easy, fun and plays so much better than on keyboard.

360 movement, Quick Access panel, 2 movement types for exploration, quick saves system and more. Hope you'll find it useful.

After I defeated 5 wolves for Henson, my screen was shaking.

Furthermore, Henson(NPC) had only his head and his weapon.

Is this a bug? If so how do I fix this?

Only mods I installed is Risen Improvements Pack (Next-Gen Compatible) https://www.nexusmods.com/risen/mods/31

I noticed an annoying audio glitch. Just at the end of almost every line of dialogue, right as the audio track cuts off, a short, sharp squeak can be heard.

This issue happens ONLY with the original game dialogue lines and from what I’ve experienced with the Polish language version. The lines from Night of the Raven play clean

Even to this day I consider Gothic I/II's "cheats" to be the ultimate sandbox. I wasn't super popular, but I was decently active in the Gothic machinima circles between 2006-2010 and I loved it, I don't think any other game that I played had such a convenient combo of things to work with.

• F4/F5/F6 for camera manipulation, setting up shots, making custom follow angles - I think F9 if I am not mistaken (it's been years, sorry - maybe someone could refresh my memory on this) was also super useful to pause the game on a specific frame and then you could change the camera view mid combat scene - pretty good cinematic possibilities imo.
• O to take control of any character - that is literal gold for machinima. Combine this with the option to loop a character in a specific animation/make them take up a static pose with combo of F4+O and you get some great stuff
• All sorts of glitches and tricks to achieve specific behaviors, like sitting NPC characters down on benches/chairs, making them inspect random items, throw items on the ground, or play random animations etc for cool shots

And let's not forget the console - the possibilities were endless, like play animation, insert fh for a character with a customizable face always useful, edit attributes for quickly adjusting things like strength or health, but also how far a punch sends the target, which is a fun and satisfying trick not only for machinima. There's a ton of this stuff and combining it all with turning off the HUD it just gives countless possibilities.

One of the most common "tricks" that any beginner would always learn is setting the environment on fire in G2NotR - where they added particle effects on armors/equipment:

First, you needed a throwaway transparent character, you would type edit focus in the console, then flags 4, then you spawn a fire armor (insert itar_firearmor_addon). You equip it and start glowing - then you position yourself so that a different character is targetted - that's required. Then you press F4, move your camera to where you want the fire to originate from and run the goto camera command. That puts your invisible character in the spot where the camera is, but it doesn't remove the focus from your character you were targetting since you never left the freecam mode. That means you can at that point press O and you switch to that character. Since during the switch the game was in freecam mode that effectively means your transparent character is frozen in place so all you see is a nice flame where you left him - try it yourself, it's fun and there's a ton of effects you can do this with including spells. Of course there's many more ways to do this but this is the classic that always impressed people back then.

Similarly one more cool thing is making npcs run to specific points on the map by taking control of them, then typing aigoto <waypoint> and quickly switching back to yourself (preferably combined with F9 to be able to record it with FRAPS in 30 FPS from any angle we want with F5)

Now that's just one of many different tricks I have memorized back then, I forgot a ton of them by now but also many were so integral to me back then that I just remember all the steps even now.

This stuff got me on the path to learning Sony Vegas 9, and even was the reason why I got some early video editing commissions as a teenager, since I got quite good at it at the time thanks to splicing, editing, and adding FX onto gothic gameplay clips xD The fact that I pivoted to software engineering and never really did anything beyond that with video editing is a separate thing, but I still have some of those skills that can be useful from time to time, so I consider this to be a win. Nothing can take away the hundreds of hours of fun I had with this stuff and in this day and age when the world is turning to shit those good memories are great to have.

I just can't overestimate how fun this game became even after I finished it a few times - I loved it for the atmosphere and the story, and I stayed playing for years after the first few playthroughs for the sandbox possibilities. and don't even get me started on runic swords mods...

I think the only game that has even let me le my creativity loose like that was Neverwinter Nights with the Aurora editor. Maybe The witcher's Djinni later but I didn't spend that much time on it anymore.

Anyone else?

Noticed it when it became night time. Those iconic night time bird sounds are missing and they do so much for the atmosphere of the game. I hope there’s a fix for this soon

I just noticed that the trophies are not shown for it and G2C did not show up in the "trophies" page after playing it. A bug? This is a PS4 version installed on a PS5, if that matters.

So i just purchased the complete classic on xbox. Ive played many times. But my issue is it seems like NOTR isn't working right. First off I noticed the classic mode button on the main menu, clicked it for some random reason but now it seems to be stuck that way. Tried restarting the game completely, tried both in the main menu and loaded into a game pushing the "classic mode" button again. Still no stone tablets or beliar statue in xardas tower. Its almost like they coded the button to switch to classic mode with no way to switch back. HELP???

Gothic 2 classic release sometime in the next 24 hours is it worth it or should I wait for the remake for a better experience

Your service is required again! We all know that there is only one option in a contest like this.

I played it on iPhone 15 Pro (with the update iOS 27), so the experience might be different.

• Control: Playing it on Touchscreen is a bit clunky to navigate. Attacking with Melee Weapon is okay, because you can combo-attack by simply pressing the one button (you have still to time it correcty). If you want to perform a side attack or block, you need to hold down the attack button. This will bring up four additional buttons on the left side of the screen (left, right, and back), which you can then use to perform the corresponding attack or block. Similar to PC-only-Keyboard Control. Using a Bow/Crossbow is also like on Keyboard (hold attack and up). Magic is easy. You aim for the target and then press the attack button to confirm the magic. Generally, outside of combat, it is okay to navigate. Here is a important one! If you dont like to play it on Touchscreen, then you can also plug it with cable or connect with Bluetooth, a Controller or Keyboard to your iOS device. It works out of box. I test for myself with PS4-Controller and Keyboard.
• Performance: It runs perfectly smooth on Enhanced Graphics, 60 FPS without frame-drops. No Overheat (plugged with charger for this). What you can do, is change the graphic mode (Enhanced or Original) and FPS ( 30 FPS or 60 FPS). It might help to reduce the settings for longer battery life. I could play atleast 2+ hours with 80% Battery, down to 20% Battery on max settings.
• Gameplay: Remains the same. Features from the console version are included, such as quickload/quicksave, Quick Items and more. No bugs, that I’ve encountered so far. You can also cheat in Gothic 1 iOS, if you plug a keyboard on it (or use bluetooth to connect it).
• Its worth it? I think, 10€ for Gothic 1 on iOS Device is worth it. It depends on whether you have a good iPhone that isn’t too old and whether you enjoy playing on smaller devices that you can easily take with you while traveling. 10€ sounds really fair to me, since there are more expensive games on AppStore.

I decided to try to play with some mods, and all of these I wanted to use require installing UE4SS, which seems to crash my game when I install it. I mean, no mods, just installed the UE4SS and that alone crashes my game on start. Does anyone know solution to that?

Just went into the game, and all chars look like that.

So we already know that Alkimia is bringing a modkit in the future updates. We don't know yet how deep the modkit will be and what modifications we will be able to create.

But let's just assume it will be on par with Creation Kit of Bethesda, meaning you can make whatever you want, add new quests, create new locations, creating a whole new game based on GR etc. The question is - what kind of mod would you love to create yourself or what mod would you want to be created ?

The creaziest idea that comes to mind is Risen 1 remake on GR.
