Great game. Puts Larian, Obsidishit, InEptile etc. to shame. I shall eat potatoes tonight in honor of everyone who worked on this.

The next time you read someone defending why mediocre product A, B or C was released by one of those houses, keep in mind that this exists, was made by a team of amateurs and was completely free. By realizing that "fans" are making excuses for developers who owe them nothing, and the quality of the games they make is down in the basement, you can see that the biggest problem with our hobby is what is tolerated and even celebrated by the consumer.

Don't settle for less, demand more.

Is the story of Archolos tied to the story of Gothic 1 or Gothic 2? After replaying both G1/2 almost back to back my Gothic hunger is satisfied for the moment but if the mod has many tie-ins I would pick it up rather sooner than later.

There are plenty of tie-ins, it's set in the Gothic universe after all.

Nah, don't bother. We were all just pretending to love it for 87 pages.

Supposing this was a standalone PB release, where would you rank it among their other titles?

I would rate this inbetween gothic 1 and 2. I prefer gothic 2 the most still, but archolos is still pretty good, it's just that it has a few annoyances in the story that I don't like too much, gothic 1/2 don't really have those.

As others said, easily on par with Gothic 1 & 2. I don't say this lightly, I can't think of another RPG TC that I would say that about. While some of the OG Fallout TCs are good in their own right, none rise to the level of Fallout 1.

Archolololos rather easily, and thus surprisingly, is up there with Gothic 1. Yes, there are more invulnerable NPCs and it's a *bit* more narrative heavy in certain ways, but puts Risen 1 to shame, for example. I won't subject myself to G3 so I can't compare it to that.

I wonder what they'll do next, I'm hoping finally put gothic series to rest with their own version of gothic 3.

Whatever the case may be, I'm hoping they'll do something interesting with the gothic fomular now, because starting off as weak and progressing to almost demi-god is always fun, but not for so long, especially with a similar fomular.


Maybe we could play as the Orcs in the sequel or something.

I'd go ahead and rate it slightly above Gothic 2, even. It's just much more polished and with various new mechanics that Gothic 2 didn't have, and I love all the attention to detail that went into it. Seeing your choices impact the world around you is also something excellent that Gothic 2 lacked IMO.

They'll do nothing. They're through with Gothic.
It's a great shame. I wish they'd try start their own Gothic clone; I'd happily support it on kickstarter or wherever.
