Open source remake of Gothic 2: Night of the Raven.
Motivation: The original Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 are still great games, but it's 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 original game data and mods.
The original game has been replicated fully; you can complete both the main quest and the addon. Check out the bugtracker for a list of known issues.
- Install original Gothic game from CD/Steam/GOG/etc. you have to install the original game as OpenGothic does not provide any built-in game assets or game scripts
- Download latest stable build
- Run '/OpenGothic/bin/Gothic2Notr.exe -g "C:\Program Files (x86)\Path\To\Gothic II"'
Common Gothic installation paths to be provided via -g:

- Mods bases on Union (not possible)
- DirectX11 - same as Union, but don't worry - OpenGothic has nice graphics out of the box
