Visit the great city of Archolos and lost yourself in cobbled streets of the biggest city ever presented in the whole Gothic trilogy.

STORY
Kingdom of Myrtana, a country whose foundations crumble under the winds of war and unrest raging throughout its lands. Experience the events that forged the original Gothic storyline and see with your own eyes how the creation of the Valley of Mines impacted people far away from the main continent.
Make your mark in a brutal world where your every decision has a clear impact on its environment and the lives of those you meet on your path.
Play as Marvin, a young man who was driven away from his home by the war looming over the horizon. The reality of the Archolos, a place he runs to, unfortunately proves to be far from his expectations. Rich merchants craving only for more gold, servants of the king Rhobar II who put into practice every new and more restrictive laws and waves of desperate refugees who just like the protagonist search for a decent life. Marvin will have to find a way to survive in this land of treachery, opportunism and opposing interests.
You are not the chosen hero, you are not a villain. You are a survivor.
Will you take everything you want by the force? Or will you try to help others in need?
In The Chronicles of Myrtana you decide your own fate.
From bug fixes, restored cut scenes, quests and characters to completely freshly-made new content, Mods are an essential part of the video game preservation. We teamed-up with these community-driven projects creators to offer you this list of handpicked Mods. Combining our strengths, these are now accessible right away, already installed within the base game for the smoothest experience.
The Mod you’re about to enjoy is the work of passionate fans who wanted to share their love in an even more meaningful manner. While every effort has been made to ensure a high-quality, stable experience, the original developers or publishers aren’t responsible for any issues that may occur from using this content.
This is by far the best Gothic 2 Mod I've ever played. I'm even going so far to say that it is better than the original game. And this comes from someone who thinks that Gothic 2 is one of the best games ever made. If you have some time to spare, go and play it. You will not regret it.
Played it with the german TTS (text-to-speech add-on) and with the Dx11 Renderer. It was awesome.
While this is officially a mod to Gothic 2, it is really a new, polished game. Archolos uses the resources and engine of Gothic 2, the lore and certain game mechanics of the Gothic universe, but that's about it.
The game has its own world, which is rich in variety, spacious and definitely worth exploring. What's more, the game spawns animals and items as the player progresses, which makes re-visiting areas interesting and rewarding. The same goes with quests. More quests pop up as the player progresses.
Quests are... Superb. Few RPGs have such fine and original quests. Side quests go way beyond go-and-fetch. In a quest, you become a tutor of a wild and inept teenager. In another, you need to find the scattered pages of a lost diary of a dead magician. The mod developers just did better job than most studios out there.
I only wish these guys make another mod.
