Open source remake of Gothic 2: Night of the raven.
Motivation: The original Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 are still great games, but it not easy to make them work on modern systems.
The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods.
Core gameplay is done, you can complete the first chapter, as well as all addon content for any guild.
- Install original gothic game from CD/Steam/GOG/etc
you have to install original game, since OpenGothic does not have any game assets or game scripts as built-in - Download latest stable build
- run '/OpenGothic/bin/Gothic2Notr.exe -g "C:\Program Files (x86)\Path\To\Gothic II"' Common Gothic installation paths:
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\JoWooD\Gothic II"
- "C:\Gothic II"
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II"
- "~/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/Gothic2_gog/drive_c/Gothic II"
