This guide is a work in progress, there are many mods that I have to add yet.

If you know about some good mod for Gothic 2, please write a comment saying the name of the mod and I will check it 🙂

Vurt’s Gothic II Graphics Overhaul

Velaya – Tale of a Warrior

Source – World of Gothic[forum.worldofplayers.de]
Homepage[velaya.worldofgothic.com]

Velaya – Tale of a Warrior is a modification for Gothic 2 – Night of the Raven. It tells the story of Velaya, a young woman, who is leaving her mark on Khorinis, shortly after the nameless hero leaves the island. A lot has changed in the meantime and the land is still in need of a hero. Or heroine?

But this is not Velaya’s problem at the moment. Right now she is busy rejecting Dar, probably the most unpleasant mercenary on Onar’s farm. Their dispute ends after a brief fight… on the planks of the tavern. She wants to get back at the weedhead her way. And soon she won’t be as helpless as everyone thinks she is…

Beating up Dar will only be the first step. There is a lot more chauvinism to face. For the men of Khorinis it’s not always easy to get used to a female adventurer. But they will soon learn to respect the ambitious woman and value her deeds.

The mod offers:

An entirely new story
An altered island of Khorinis
A lot of well-known people
Some new characters
Complete German voice output (optional)
Numerous quests in four chapters
All in all about 40 hours of gameplay

NOTE: Because the mod’s events are set after the Nameless Hero leaves Khorinis, it’s recommended to finish the main game first before you start playing Velaya’s history.

Thanks to Schreiberling and Sektenspinner for making such an awesome mod!
