Velen 2.0 - A standalone modification for Gothic II

Velen 2.0 is a standalone modification for the game Gothic 2. It offers a brand new story, a brand new large world, two completely new main guilds, brand new characters, dialogues and quests, new armors, helmets, shields, weapons and other items, many new features, a complete German voice output and many overhauls of the original game. The 2.0 version is the big overhaul and extension of the predecessor Velen (1.0).

In this modification, the player takes on the role of William the pirate. The rumor of an apparently heavily drunk old sailor, who one evening in a tavern bragged about his stories and alleged experiences, sent him on a long journey together with his captain Morgan: They sailed to a small island, far from the known Myrtan islands and coasts, ruled by an extremely wealthy prince should be, whose treasury overflows with gold and jewels. The crossing took several days, but it really existed - the island of Velen! Once there, and after they had the information they needed, they made a plan. It should be too simple... So simple that they were caught trying to break into the treasury and were immediately thrown into the dungeon. The verdict was decided on the same day: the execution of the two. Already the next morning it should happen.

Already in the early morning hours of the day of the execution, the prince had William brought to him. Unlike expected, he made him an offer. An offer he could not refuse if he wanted to save his life and that of his captain. He might not know anything about it yet, but if he would accept it, he would soon be the one who would decide the fate of all Velen ...
