This classic RPG Dawn of Darkness v3.0 is notable for its enormity – and variety in dialog options, being large and ambitious even by today's standards when compared to later games, using the Quake 2 Engine! Even if it’s visually clunky today, the gameplay and story still holds true to any RPG Fan! This file is a self-contained .exe all you have to do is download the file, place the file in your c: directory, no sub-folder, and the DOD icon on your desktop, and read the readme! Click the file and Play! The game will download and run on any version of windows 98, XP, 7, and 8! You do not need DOSBox or any other external program... just Click and Play!

I haven't tried playing DOD with QuakeXp2... but if it uses the old source files with a new rendering engine, you can try placing the roarke folder into the QXp2 directory and click on the roarke.exe! But I have only played the QXp2 as Quake2!

EricBoyceU, reupload the file and give proper credits to Roarke and Roarkes, as we are not Adam and Alex.
In the future we will state both our real names here on Moddb and on our own sites, and in the archives uploaded there.

Did you really need to include all of Quake 2 as well? Why not just the 'roarke' folder so people can run it in whatever port they want? It was fine with just that folder in Yamagi Q2.

I posted issue that is not compatible with Quake II RTX:
Github.com

Response is that source code is needed and it has to be compiled for 64bit, so it someone has source code, maybe it could be done..

Otherwise readme is really misleading, requiring game in C:\quake2 is not great, and it works everywhere you just need to fix starting shortcut..
