Ninja

Ninja is an extension for the Gothic game series that offers more possibilities for patches. It lays the foundation for feature-rich patches, well beyond mere graphical changes.

Modifications of the Gothic video games have succeeded to impress for well over a decade. Graphical changes to the games may be deployed as modular patches running independently side-by-side. Other aspects of the games, such as the story, however, can only be replaced as a whole. This is due to the compiled formats in which these resources are collected.

This has limited such modifications of the games to be exclusive in form of separate self-contained "games". To the frustration of many players, combining their favorite mods is not possible. Even the smallest improvement or bug fix of the original games demands an entirely independent "mod" incompatible with any other mods.

Ninja lifts this constraint by extending the scope of the aforementioned modular patches to any aspect of the game, instead of only mere graphical enhancements. This empowers them to the extent of mods, while retaining their modular behavior. They may be stacked and combined at will, enriching the modding landscape for players and raising it to a new level.
