| [Editing] Gothic II „Community Patch” v1.0a released by Ironkeep Studios |

The modteam from Ironkeep Studios has released a follow-up for the patch v1.0 that was released last May.
In the latest patch some new bug-fixes are included, and interestingly, a new optional Alternative Balancing System has been added. The Alternative Balance is intended for those who want to try Gothic II again, but desire some more flavor to the gameplay. If you're a Gothic II fan and itching for a new game experience with the same game, you might want to give it a shot.
Please note that the patch will only work with Gothic II + NOTR. If versions older than 2.6 are installed, this patch automatically brings them up to that version.

The gaming web portal PCGames has published a number of galleries containing composite images for comparing the graphics of Arcania and Risen. The first gallery compares stylistic differences, the second gallery also concentrates on comparing battle scenes.
It is up to you to decide whether these comparisons are of any use. It can’t be denied though that both titles have their roots in the first three Gothic games and are feverishly anticipated by many fans.

Our friends from PiranhaClub and Mighty DWARF have released the ModPack v.1.7.2 including the Modstarter 1.2. With the Gothic 3-Modstarter modifications for Gothic 3 can be managed.
The new Modstarter has been modified for the Community Patch 1.7x and is supposed to be able to handle everything that has been described in the CP1.7x handbook for Modder.
The Modstarter was already working with CP1.6, but to guarantee compatibility of the MDS to CP.17x whole new parts of the Modstarter had to be developed.
More details can be found in the following thread in the "Gothic Modding" section" of our forum: [1.7x]Gothic3 - Mod Starter (v1.2) by PiranhaClub & Mighty DWARF

And here comes another preview of Arcania, this time - from GameZone. As usual, the point of gravity is "the accessibility of the game for the broad public."
There are, however, a few interesting points worth mentioning, which might prove to be good excuses for the hardcore fans to resume complaining: according to GameZone, mana will regenerate as well as stamina, (most likely from the beginning of the game), they again mention about this 'area unlocking' feature, they say that players will more often fall unconscious rather than die and that, drumming please, once you become friendly enough, the guilds might allow you to rest in their quarters. Sounds familiar, no?

Another game preview comes from GameNexus. In here, the discussion mainly revolves around the new graphical overhaul, the cool new features like the rain effects, the platforms Arcania is being developed for, and of course, the tuning of the game to the liking of a broader public. In other words, the same story, but this time, there seems to be less emotion and personal opinions from the reviewers.
Also, GameNexus says that the game will ship this winter, for several platforms. The PC version is predicted to come first.

Recently the German games magazine GameStar released an in-game video of Arcania. According to the commentator Arcania nearly reached the alpha status, but it did not yet. That means that the world is complete, nearly all Content is implemented but by far not everything is working. The AI is not present, the music too and the graphics is not polished.
During one scene, while watching the waves of the sea, the commentator says, that he is on the tutorial island Feshyr. So we see a little bit of that island. More things the commentator says are, that we don't have teleport runes. Instead there will be big teleportation stones standing in the landscape and we can travel between these stones.
More things one can see in the video are rain effects, waves of the sea, a map of the island Argaan, the fighting system and magic.
The final comment at the end is: We did not see quests or story. So we know, that Arcania looks nice and that it runs, but we don't know yet how it will work as a game. If JoWooD wants to be ready for the Christmas sales, there is much work to do.

After the news and pictures from the E3 a lot of Gothic fans were puzzled that the presented Arcania version obviuosly doesn't have much in common with the previous Gothic games. Because of that, JoWooD released three new screenshot with all helpers, like minimap, opponent infos, compass, etc. turned off. Many fans criticized these helpers because in their opinion a big part of the game experience is to discover the world by themselves, without being assisted all the time. Additionally the graphics was felt to be too colorful.
The news screenshot show Arcania without all GUI elements and the colors were adjusted. Additionally we see an Arcania lizard for the first time.
