Gothic
Where to acquireWar has been waged across the kingdom of Myrtana. Orcish hordes invaded human territory and the king of the land needed a lot of ore to forge enough weapons, should his army stand against this threat. Whoever breaks the law in these darkest of times is sentenced to serve in the giant penal colony of Khorinis, mining the so much needed ore.
The whole area, dubbed "the Colony", is surrounded by a magical barrier, a sphere two kilometers diameter, sealing off the penal colony from the outside world. The barrier can be passed from the outside in – but once inside, nobody can escape. The barrier was a double-edged sword - soon the prisoners took the opportunity and started a revolt. The Colony became divided into three rivaling factions and the king was forced to negotiate for his ore, not just demand it.
You are thrown through the barrier into this prison. With your back against the wall, you have to survive and form volatile alliances until you can finally escape.

Warning
If you're using a case sensitive filesystem(read: lunix), you need to extract the files manually into the correct directories, as the case of the directories doesn't match the ones in the actual game installation.
But, this won't allow us to use it with the mod launcher via steam. What to do?
First, install the localization as described in the link above to your Gothic game directory. You want the Gothic_1_Localized.zip file.
Extract this to the same Gothic game directory(again, at the root of it): https://f.rpghq.org/pO5bIvQlD4Wm.zip?n= ... uncher.zip
One file will overwrite the Launcher/Gothic1SteamWorkshopLauncher.exe , I've patched it to use the game's launcher instead of directly starting the game. the other is simply a copy of GothicStarter.exe renamed to GothicSta.exe (it expects a string of a certain length for the game executable name). This will let you launch a custom gothic installation.
If you didn't **** it up, it should look like this:
Select the localization you want to play with.
Make sure it has the "G1CP 1.2"(You should have the community patch!) & "Union […]" text at the bottom of the menu to ensure it loaded properly. If not, I dunno, try again and then bug me I guess.
