2008 video game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods (German: Gothic 3: Götterdämmerung) is a standalone expansion for the action role-playing video game Gothic 3. It was developed by Trine Games and published by JoWooD Productions in 2008. An enhanced edition containing improvements was released in 2011, developed by Mad Vulture Games.
Gameplay
Gameplay in Forsaken Gods is like in Gothic 3, with some small differences. The gameplay area in Forsaken Gods has been restrained from the three parts in Gothic 3 to just one part – Myrtana. The main plot is concentrated only in this area.
Plot
After awakening from a coma, the nameless hero must find a way to unite the continent, as it has been divided by numerous factions, many of which are aided or led by the Nameless Hero's former companions. Through his own means, the Hero must reunite Myrtana as to finally restore the land to peace and prosperity.
Updates
In November 2010, JoWooD announced that Mad Vulture Games would work on additional improvements for the game. The first patch was announced for Q1 2011. On 22 March 2011, JoWooD released the new patch via Steam, integrated within the new boxed version for the game titled Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition.[3] It is also available as a free download.
The final version, 2.01.08, was officially released through the Mad Vulture Games website on 18 December 2011 and made available for free download similarly to the previous versions.[4]
