YouвЂ™ll have a chance to enter Jharkendar as early as Chapter 1, just after completing several initiation quests from the Water Mages. You can befriend bandits and sneak into their camp by wearing their telltale rags.Jharkendar, the isolated Aztec-themed world mentioned above, has most of the new content native to Gothic 2 Gold. The only catch is finding the person with the right know-how to teach you his or her trade. Each advancement in level rewards players with 10 LPвЂ™s (Learning Points), which you can then allocate to your base attributes (Strenght, Dexterity, Magic) or learn any number of skills (eg: sneaking, lockpicking, skinning animals, brewing potions, double-handed swordplay, etc.). Your quest will ultimately take you on an expedition to an entirely unknown land of Jharkendar, a place once inhabited by an ancient civilization but which is now teeming with thugs, pirates and treasure hunters.For those new to the series, gameplay is your typical role-playing stew with an added focus on non-linear adventures and broad dialog. The Water Mages, which you may remember from the first game, have some clue as to whatвЂ™s going on but youвЂ™ll need to earn their trust before they can help. A shadowy feller with an eyepatch roams the land, bandits have taken over parts of the island and townspeople are mysteriously vanishing without a trace. Arriving in Khorinis to face a new threat, you find things are strangely out of place.

It goes without saying that Gothic II Gold takes much longer to complete and is considerably difficult, but is also superior to Gothic 2 in almost every way.The story of NotR is neatly folded into the overall plot of Gothic 2. Easily the best reason to pick this up is the fully translated NotR expansion pack, adding not only a new Aztec-themed island to explore but also numerous characters, quests and monsters to the original world of Khorinis. Doubled in size and difficulty, this excellent add-on isnвЂ™t for the faint of heart.In 2003 Pyranha Bytes pieced together a decent expansion pack for Gothic 2 called Night of The Raven, at first in its native German but then in English courtesy of the release of Gothic 2 Gold.
