Arkona

Description
Arkona is a total-conversion, standalone modification for Gothic 2 NotR, available fully in English language (including voiceover). Featuring a new world, new story, NPCs and about 10 hours of gameplay.

Our hero is Gerrin, an ordinary citizen of Khorinis.

The events in Arkona unfold after the Nameless one sails away from the island and Khorinis is slowly overwhelmed by the orc hordes. The city makes its last stand, however the paladins are heavily outnumbered.

As Gerrin sees it, he knows he doesn't have many options left. He can either die in battle, but he is no experienced warrior. The most probable case is that he would fell to slavery for the orcs. With that in mind, he decides to flee from the island on a small fishing boat. Rather die on a sea than be a slave to those filthy creatures, he thinks.

Exhausted and dehydrated, he finally reaches land. It is not the mainland as he had hoped. Instead he ended up on an island he has never heard of before. And there our story begins.

What secrets lurk inside the halls of the old shrine deep in the dark woods?
What or who are the militia men and the bandits looking for?
Why some people from the mainland went to this place intentionally in the first place?

Find out for yourselves...

Przed chwilą ukończyłem modzik.
Zajęło mi to +- 10-12 h Dobiłem 22 poziom.

Z + na pewno soundtrack, który bardzo mi przypadł do gustu i pasował do małej, ale moim zdaniem dobrze skompresowanej mapy. Zadania nie są skomplikowane, ale ciekawie przemyślane zwłaszcza w głównym wątku.

Wiele postaci można zwyczajnie polubić co wpływa na imersje. Kilka z nich również przechodzi w trakcie gry przemianę co do zachowania dzięki czemu prócz silniejszej postaci czuć progres również pod względem reputacji.

Jeśli chodzi o poziom trudności - Nie miałem problemów z przechodzeniem gry, oczywiście było kilka trudniejszych momentów, ale myślę, że mod jest przystępny każdemu.

Na koniec Czy polecam mod?

Śmiało mogę polecić tą modyfikację. Bawiłem się dobrze, nie było raczej rzeczy, które by mnie irytowały, a twórcy udało się kilka razy mnie zaskoczyć i wywołać różne emocje, od śmiechu po współczucie do danych postaci.

@TrueAlkash: You can pack the all your saves and send me by our Discord server, so I can check what is wrong, and prepare a working save if needed. :steamhappy:

all 5caves are empty. I have just rechecked. The one where you needed to swim had a demon - I killed him, the one with goblins had a shadow beast - I killed him long time ago, bandit's cave empty. I killed all monsters
Damianut  [author] May 29 @ 5:21am 
@TrueAlkash: Hello, did you kill The Beast in the cave?
TrueAlkash May 27 @ 8:15pm 
Also there is a bug - if you wake up Railan at night to talk to him - the game freezes
