Gothic 2 (PC)

Gothic II PC (English)

Gothic II is an epic role-playing game set in the mine valley of Khorinis. The glorious days of the once productive mines in this small seaside region were long over. Surrounded by the impenetrable magical barrier, the slaves eked out their miserable existence in this apparently natural prison.

One brave man managed to burst the bonds of imprisonment. Following his own call to freedom, he ventured deep into the subterranean temples. Willing to do whatever was necessary, he went out to banish evil and destroy the magical barrier forever. Spurred by a hatred born of long suppression, the prisoners streamed trough the only pass to freedom.

No one in Khorinis had been prepared for this. The small militia garrison could not put up enough forces against the onrush. After numerous bloody clashes, many captives successfully escaped and found safety in the woods and rugged mountains of the surrounding countryside.

The steadily escalating number of raids in the vicinity of the town wall and the bandits' ever-increasing boldness seemed to paralyse the whole town. Angered by the militia's inability to protect their farms, some of the farmers formed an alliance with the refugees, no longer willing to pay allegiance to the king. Khorinis is facing an uncertain future.

The militia's might ends at the town gate. Outside the town wall, nobody is safe from the bandits' armed raids. There is war in Khorinis, a civil war, but there is something else that could not be foreseen: evil is not dead and is rearing its ugly head again. But this time it's set on delivering the deathblow to humanity and the only way to stop it is for you to take up the challenge.
