My personal modification of L'hiver ENG Edition by Himalayas.
L'Hiver Edition - English version
Type of modification: Re-Texture, Re-Model, Re-Balance, Re-World
Current version: 0.9.1a (0.9.1a English)
This mod primarily makes visual changes to the game, enriching the world of Gothic with beautiful new textures and models and, most notably, making changes to the world maps by creating new paths, connecting and opening the world even further. Furthermore, it expands the maps adding many new areas and integrates them seamlessly into the existing world.
This mod does NOT affect the plot of the game. However, it does make changes to the balancing and increases the game difficulty.
There are new items, weapons, armors, changes and additions to the crafting system, potions, skills, etc.
English translation and adaptation by Himalayas.
