Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[Zed]

I think it works better in certain type of text, but sadly literature and dialogues aren't one of them, but fuck it as long as i can play another gothic i dont mind shitty translation

Atmosphere DOES suffer for it, but then again competent translators are expensive and most people aren't willing to shoulder the cost, it's much cheaper to hire someone to proofread instead. Translation is a cutthroat business, and a field that's going to be hit HARD by automation save literature, as you mentioned

There's a bit of charm in polsky english. I'd argue it's even required for that OG Gothic feel.

I registered solely to post this: calm down, women. It's Poland. The entire team speaks fluent english. The translation is going to be exactly the same or better than the subtitles posted on the promo videos so far. You will understand everything perfectly and occasionally a sentence will have a somewhat strange word order, which it should, because the game is in Polish.

Amateur translation is 10,000x better than the useless Californian dipshits who get paid to "translate" most big budget games and invent stupid jokes and accents and make up the dialogue wholecloth. The "professional" translation for Elex, for example, was complete nonsense if you understand even a word of German.

Well, as of 6 hours ago it's official. The English translation will be releasing simultaneously with the Polish! Get ready for Thursday, boys!

Yeah, they did a little switcheroo with the release date, so looks like I'm going to have to wait another sleep and workday before getting to try it out. Wish it was out today still!

Heads up, if you use English subtitles you'll have no Polish voice-overs. To get both you'll need to intall the 'Polish Language Pack'



Weird.

 

[Maxie]

makes for less files to download for foreigners
intrinsically gay but what can you do

Polacy przejmujemy.

No real bugs encountered so far. The game seems to offer quite a bit of C&C already at the start (although I'm not yet sure about the impact of these choices):

Spoiler

There's the one guy in the ship that you can beat up or leave him alone and then give him beer for some EXP. Also, you can intervene and stop Timo from dying or not. If he dies, you see his corpse on the beach and can loot it. It isn't there if you intervene. Also, there's the choice of following your brother or going to the cave with the others. I went with the brother, so I have no idea how different going to the cave is.

The timings on the swings/combos seem slightly altered compared to G2? All in all, the quality of the mod has been pretty high so far.

It is impossible to explore the entire mod by going through it only once.

 

[Mikeal]

Good shit. I like that there is an achievement for finishing initiation quests for one guild than joining another. Looks like creator know their audience.

 

[Cryomancer]

Will have a good English translation or will be like Returning?

 

[Danikas]

They made cutscenes in the shitty gothic engine from what I remember from Gothic 1 and 2 conversations always were 1 on 1 meanwhile in this mod you have multiple characters speaking in a cutscene.

They also added a lot of new custom animations for npcs I saw a guy puking behind a tavern so far this is much better Gothic game than that trash fire called Gothic 3.

 

[Marat]

Just got to the city. Looks awesome.

So to use this, you need to add the D3D11 git release to NotR?
