The Chronicles of Myrtana

Mod review

Just a same as I wrote on Steam already as well:
Hard to believe, it's just a mod!!! :)

This is a story before the happenings of the 3 original Gothic games, so before the Orcs start to fight constantly with humans on the lands of Myrtana, hence the King Rhobar II start to send the prisoners only under the magic barrier into the mines of the valley of Khorinis to send back more & more magic ores constantly to the mainland in the kingdom. The main protagonist is Marvin here, so not the Nameless Hero, the one we knew from the original Gothic games but all knowledge Marvin can gather in Archolos, a really great introduction into the GOTHIC UNIVERSE, so many hints, references to the Gothic trilogy, what to expect from them later, when the player start to play them too. You can collect some knowledge on Archolos about the mages on Khorinis & on the mainland, about the 3 main factions on the mainland, about the culture & history of the world of GOTHIC & so on.

I play with Polish dub & English subtitle. 1st had just the sub but no sound at the dialogues at all but after downloaded the free Polish audio pack & works. Also I use & run the game on maxed out graphics with DirectX 11 mod, which version was recommended by the creators of this mod. I have 60-120 FPS in Full HD/1080p (1920x1080) which is perfect for me in a Single-player game. Music & sounds are awesome, visually improved (especially, with the dX 11 mod on it), & story, characters so far yet really nice too. The game in content size somewhere between the original Gothic 2 & GII NOTR. Hard to tell, since I not finished the game yet but looks really vast.

My rig: i7-10700K, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3060 12 GB, + SSD
With maxed out video & graphics settings this game can use over 2 GB of video memory, also over 10 GB of RAM on 64-bit system. Still, on most modern, current Gaming rigs this shouldn't be a problem at all.
