A word of introduction...
I created this project with a passion that often approached obsession, resulting in lack of sleep, giving up work and social life. I started creating the mod on Christmas Eve 2014 and finished it in October 2020. I will miss it for a while, but the time has finally come to release the mod and live on.
General Information:
- 94 quests (including 2-3 informative and guide quests)
- 4 original worlds (+ 1 for prologue)
- 6849 lines of dialogue.
- More than 300 NPCs.
- 3 chapters.
- Prologue
A long time ago... At the height of its power, the Kingdom of Lobos continues to expand.... With its strength and powerful military superiority, it is rapidly conquering and taking new territories. Enticed by the vision of endlessly growing power, the Lord of Lobos sends an expedition - an elite legion made up of the best soldiers of the Lobos army - to a special corner of the land - the valleys of the humid tropical forests, rich in gold and magical ore, but also the home of various dangerous beasts. Lured by rumours of gold, the valley soon becomes the focus of various adventurers and bandits. As a result, the great Neptune, commander of the whole expedition, issues a special decree that only those with the necessary permissions may stay in the valley. Many weeks later, three farmer friends with the soul of adventurers and the desire to get rich quick set off on an expedition to this dangerous tropical region, not fully aware of the dangers that lurk there. After a long trek through the mountains, they manage to discover a completely empty cave with golden boulders without much effort. But the joy of the Sunday adventurers does not last long...
The idea behind this mod
I mean, what I was particularly interested in and struggled with was the attention to detail and logic, so that everything in the mod found its justification without being taken out of context and being just a random modder's imagination. Unthought out dialogues and quests, powerful artifacts or other "mega" weapons that we use to chop up most of the monsters already in the middle of the game are phenomena that effectively take away from the desire to play. I focused on making the game more "realistic", including the world, dialogues, economy, characters, monsters and items, where cool equipment or gold doesn't just roll around, but you have to work for it.
The game environment
Meat or other food that can be eaten doesn't just lie on the ground, as insects would immediately pounce on it. The same goes for plants that don't grow in deserts or on rocks (with a few exceptions).
Game balance
A properly set difficulty level ensures that the game is never too easy, which was the case in the original game. The equipment to be acquired has also been adapted to the appropriate stage of the game. There will be no shortage of weapons in the modification: swords, axes, jewels to wear or bonus items that can and should be changed regularly. Most RPGs are based on the constant evolution of the character we play as. Modding is designed to put even more emphasis on this, which is very noticeable if we develop it too poorly. However, it gives room for both players who don't like to exp high levels and those who like to do them and maximize stats. Depending on the skills, the player can choose how much they want to develop their character. The balance is balanced so that even the average player can handle it.
Mechanics
Both the archer skill game and the strength and weapons 1h/2h game are balanced. It should be mentioned here that damage scaling remains unchanged from the original Gothic 2 Night of the Raven. Crossbows and one-handed weapons under Dexterity have therefore been adjusted accordingly. The basket of lore is always 5 Knowledge points for 5 attribute/skill points.
Characteristics
-
Change the walking style depending on the hero's "rank".
-
You will need to earn it through honest/ dishonest work and/or more effort. Gold is harder to get, it's not enough to just explore.
-
Learning must be paid for with gold and sometimes favors.
-
Detours, hidden places, secrets.
-
More ambitious players who like hack n' slash and see "60 exp" instead of "wolf" are in for a considerable challenge and a lot of fun. (The range of requirements/stats is quite wide, starting from the 5th attribute point all the way up to the 370th).
-
There will be three versions of this mod available for download - the Basic version, which includes everything mentioned above, the Ultra+ version and the Definitive Edition version, which will differ from the original as follows.
