I'll keep updating this pinned comment with answers to some questions and problems you guys might have: - Some GoG users have reported that the language switches to Russian after installing these mods. If you have this issue here is what to check: Documents folder > gothic3 folder > open up useroptions.ini with notepad > "VoiceLanguage=English". If it says Russian or anything else, just change it to English. You can also check SubtitleLanguage and Subtitles, if you have problems with lost dialogue or language. They should be: "SubtitleLanguage=English" and "Subtitle=true" - There is no English voice acting for new quest/content. You can enable the mod in Union called German or Polish voice over, which includes voice acting for new content, but we still don't have English vo.

I was there, Gandalf, when this game released full of bugs and issues. I used to play a lot regardless, and now, after nearly 20 years, I play again. The modding community is awesome!
Played that shit with 1gb of ram back in the day and the amount of crashes was insufferable. Still the atmosphere of the game dragged me through it. I blame Kai for it
@@click4gameplayyeah its great seeing your updates on this and the modders excellent attempt on making gothic 3 rise above and getting his rightful place...they definitely saw gothic 3 as an unpolished gem...even I who haven't played it can see it due to my previous experience with an modded Oblivion
IIRC one of the reasons it was so unoptimised on launch and why it was so hard to fix was because of its graphics and no-load open world (apart from other, more minor factors as well). It still holds up and manages - just liek you've said) to be atmospheric at the same time, even after 18 years. More than impressive, I'd say!
Gothic 3 is proof that music in an RPG is one of the most important parts of it. This otherwise broken and mediocre game would never have received this level of community attention without it.
While I can't agree on the "wouldn't have received any attention" part, cause, y'know, it's part of the gothic franchise, I have to agree on the music part. Kai Rosenkranz is a goddamn genius when it comes to music.
I don't know, the music itself is great on its own, and I come back to it much more often than to the game itself, but it doesn't really blends with the gameplay well. I think the overall soundtrack was more atmospheric and less distracting in previous titles.

My wet dream: G3 CSP gets released. Someone makes a mod compilation with mods already released and improves CSP further(without breaking the balance ofc). Alkimia buys rights, makes fixes, balancing changes and releases the thing on steam with official dub/sub for multiple languages.
Alkimia can't buy the rights. The rights are owned by THQ, which owns Alkimia. As long as those asses from Embracer do not sell/cancel/dissolve the studio or the publisher, we are OK. I wish some of the old Piranha Bytes members would join if there will be a G2 remake.
I started clicking the links you included to download everything and almost gave up seeing how complicated it all looked but I kept watching and you broke everything down so simply and conveniently that I was able to follow it. Thanks for such a helpful video, looking forward to trying gothic 3 for the first time
Ah thank you @click4gameplay for the video, i stoped playing Gothic 3 moded bcs of the missing subtitles and item description, now that this is fixed i'm gonna try it again. Maybe it sounds bit silly to quit just bcs some info is missing but it really matters to me. Thank you again for all the hard work you put for us to feed our nostalgia :D
Had the same problem with german language and mods. Had a mish-mash of no sub no dubs eng dubs and her dubs it was horrible. This helped a lot although I'm missing the ger dub a lot ngl
You say you do a couple of playthroughs a year on Gothic 3, do you play the other Gothics as well, or is it just 3? Your love for this game is truly inspirational!
Dude is reading my mind. Been trying to get G3 to run smoothly for the last couple weeks and just now settled for replaying 1+2 since 3 just kept randomly crashing with union setups. I will try this and see if it works well thanks for the video. Edit: The tip with texture quality was gold!
This game will never die. Long live Gothic. I can't wait for the G3 CSP mod and the remakes to drop. I hope the History of Khorinis project gets finished at some point too.
I've promised myself not to return to G3 until the Community "Calendar" Project gets released, so that it can feel like a truly fresh experience, but man... I think this modlist is what will finally break me. I'm actually shocked to finally see a mod that reworks combat from its foundations and not by only tweaking the balance. And that also means that my plans for a full mage playthrough go out of the window and I'll end up playing one-handed melee for a 100th time. But it's gonna be great!
Keep in mind many things will change. And the mods don't have good descriptions in union imo. I had to Google for 1h to find out why Seruk in Kap dun won't talk to me and give me his quest (3 chalice) But aside from that very good experience so far
I saw a video about AI learning character animations on two minutes papers channel. Using that to make fighting animations could make for a new experience
This game is wronged, it is a masterpiece, it is great for its age, I have been playing it since I was 4 years old, in 2009, my father and I are the only Arabs who have played this game, thank God
Playing Gothic 3 is like coming home. Exactly like playing Skyrim. Everybody who was tough enough to play it even with the bugs knows exactly what I mean
LOL I downloaded everything 2 weeks ago following your last G3 video and here is a new one. By the way do we really need CP v1.75 for the GOG version? I'm almost certain GOG version already had this patch (1st one that needs to be installed)...
I wish I could afford a device that can run this game fully modded smoothly. It is literally my favorite game ever since it came out. With each new mod, my experience became better and better, a reason to replay it.
Yeah seeing click4gameplay really makes me miss my pc rpg mods era 🫤.... when I played oblivion with oscuro,titan quest with players X mod and borderlands with 4 player mod. Been an console gamer on the past few years and not have an pc anymore and cant really afford one now 😮💨. When I played PC I had an good old games account filled with games like almost 100 of them...now they are there collecting virtual dust
I mean it definitely sucks not be able to afford a PC but when u only aiming for games like Gothic 3 u really don't need a heavy machine. Throw a couple hundred bucks at it at best and u be chillin. Maybe look for a used system. I'm pretty sure u could get away with an input aswell. Just make sure u run at least 8gb ram for G3. Hope U gonna be able to play this game again
@@eyn85 I have bought an Optiplex 7050 with an I5 7550 3,4 Ghz , 8 GB Ram DDR4 and a 256 ssd for like 80 $. I then bought a GTX 1650 4GB Vram for like 100$ and slowly upgraded my RAM and added a 1TB SSd which was a must. I have barely surpassed the 200$ mark and I can run K:CD , ultra modded Skyrim, certainly Gothic 3 and what not for not even half the price of a PS5. I've played the newest releases there is on this system, and it runs most games pre 2020 smooth like butter. I've never come across a game that I have wanted to play and was unable to run. You can definitely do it on a budget brother !
Cara, você é um tesouro pra quem gosta de Gothic. Consegui instalar tudo do video anterior, mesmo usando Linux, mas não cheguei a terminar o jogo. Agora é hora de jogar G3 novamente.
@@israelde4043 É melhor checar a PCgamingwiki ou o site ProtonDB (ou mesmo WineDB), que mesmo sendo um site para rodar jogos em linux te dará uma ideia de como resolver o problema. Pesquisar "Gothic 3 ground problem" vai te dar uma direção também. Acho que cheguei a ter esse problema, mas ele provavelmente já está documentado (jogo antigo) -- hoje em dia só instalo o jogo e funciona.
Finally something that improves combat! I wanted to give another chance to G3 (only played at release, ouch) and didn't like the combat system. Now it's time for a reinstall - got the trilogy on Steam (bought years later) but didn't touch G3 from it.
Suggestion to awesome Mac Hyder: Please, if possible, add an attack (with a keyboard combination) where the hero does a flip and attacks with a weapon. When I fought a troll, I imagined the hero doing it. It would be so awesome. Thanks for your hard work, and of course, for posting this awesome video.
Thanks for the heads-up on the ini-file tweaking and graphics settings. Pretty critical knowledge. I had a horrible time with the mods installed when I previously tried Union. 3 crashes in my first two hours of playtime, and ultimately, a save corrupting crash that ended that playthrough (I did have a mirror save, but it was like 40 minutes behind, and I was so frustrated I just couldn't bother.
Oh, this is particularly interesting to me. After I ran into a problem, I was too lazy to reinstall and reconfigure the mods. I will try that, maybe I can get my 2023 save to work again. Thanks for the update.
I absolutely love your videos on this Game. Its my all time favorite RPG and will it will bever stop to surprise me on every playthrough I do. Hope you will bever run out of videos on this game :)
9:20 No. Enchantment weapon skill adds in Conquest mod. Skill "magic weapon" add in Balance Ultimate. And it just gives you the opportunity to use magical weapons like the "runesword"
There is the Othello mod for Gothic 1 and there are quite a few Gothic 2 mods. Honestly, G2 Gold is perfect. No need for mods, aside maybe for DX11 and HD textures. Also, give a try to Archollos if you haven't yet.
All of the above. For G1 u might run into trouble with dx11 but other than that both games work like a charm on steam since they had workshop integration.
Gothic 3 is click4gameplay favorite of the series😂 almost always with his two handed weapon and full plate....I guess this is his second video on how to play a gothic 3 fully modded
I have to admit, you make it very tempting to give Gothic 3 another chance. I played it a while ago after the Parallel Patch was released, and was still a bit disappointed because of how clunky it felt. I intend to play the game in German, but it seems that Union also has German available according to your pinned comment? I'm gonna give it another try, thanks for the video!
Quick question - did anyone encounter a problem where some interactions, ability descriptions and dialogues added by the mod pack won't display proper text, but either "???" or in my case "[PL]" instead? I know this game inside out and I know that this issue only occurs with the things added with the mod pack and I'd get if it was consistent althroughout, but other added things are displayed properly. It might also be that the problem only occurs with the Polish translation of the modpack. And while I can already hear you say: "Just play in English" - while I normally play video games either in English or in a language of the region presented in the game (Ezio trilogy in Italian, KC:D in Czech etc.), the Polish dubbing in the Gothic series is an integral part of the experience for the Polish fandom
very cool mod, i remember that Gothic 3 in terms of balance was even worse that first 2 games, and bad fighting mechanics is a problem of all 3 games. Nice to see the improvements in this field! I want to replay it now :)
thinking about going to play Gothic 2 or 3 again. In the end I decided to wait for the Gothic 1 remake, but now that I've seen this I think I'll start with Gothic 3 for the 1000th time.😂 Love this combat mode! the combat in Gothic 3 was the most repulsive to me. If you can just answer a few questions. Roughly when would a new version of that combat mode come out? And if you can explain a little about the fight with the shield?
@@igorthelight No, but none of the two look like Morrowind in any way. Lunacid looks more like King's Field and that Dread Delusion I don't know, I just dont like the visuals nor the setting
Awesome! Mainly liking and commenting, but I love this game. It's often an overlooked gem. Thank you bunches, for the detailed breakdown. I went to GoG due to them having more supportive files for G3. Would these mods work in that environment as well?
I love this game! First rpg fantasy adventure game I played as a teen. So glad to see it's still going strong! And the music.. I still listen to the soundtrack occasionally.
About the combat mod: I do hope the animations will still look "smooth" because Risen 1 - despite having arguably the best combat system and progression in that regard by Piranha Bytes - has weird animation transitions imo. They feel a bit cartoony, unlike the ones in Gothic, where even Gothic 3 has smooth transitiosn (as if a real human is handling the weapon in that moment). Other than that, very excited for the future of combat mods!
Thanks for the guide! Any idea why I can only loot corpses by holding right mouse button, but it doesn't let me pick up things from the ground with it?
i played Gothic 1 and 2 , i never played 3 or finished it with a Demo back in the days so its time to play it ^^ thanks for showing love to the real rpgs
I wish they would make a mod where you hold 2h swords like in gothic 2. It is kinda ironic cuz in g1 and g2 the 2h weapons animations were made for swords and when you held an axe it looked silly and in g3 they made 2h animations look like they were made for axes and 2h swords look silly ( you hold the blad with your other hand ;D )
Oh yeah, I was one of the guys who had issues with these mods, for example, If I changed them I would loose my save games, but beside of that there were a lot of weird glitches that made the game unplayable
First of all, thank you again man, the Gothic content you provide and the updates/informations for Gothic 3 really helps me and want me to play it again. I skipped it now for 2 Years and play more Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 mods. But I got a question: Is there the possibilty to turn on the Skin Mod for the Orcs, so that they look like in the Games Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 ? The Mod exist, but I didnt saw this option in the Mod Loader or on your Video. Thank you and keep it up!
Thanks man! As for the skin orc mod, you can definitely use it if you wish. There are several skin orc mods in the launcher, and you can choose. I'm using the light version of Orcs from Gothic 2, but you can use the full version by just activating the mod in the launcher.
Easy to follow guide, got this installed easy. I replayed Gothic II and played Archolos for the first time last year, I never really finished Gothic III. Gonna give this a shot. I have 1 question, what is the mod for the enemy health bars? I wanna disable it. Or is there a mod for minimal UI?
In the parallel universes patch notes it is explicitly stated that you have to install any mods FIRST before applying it. C4G is being a very naughty boi in the tutorial, lol.
My god the combat looks so much better, I never played Gothic 3 because I couldn't get over how the MC was swinging swords around like a ballerina, seems it's time to give it another shot.
Great game but never finished it as its so big. May do a replay with your mod list when I retire next year, when I should have the time to enjoy and finish it
I recommend playing with the mods on top of it, because they improve rather than alter the vanilla game quite a bit. Not to mention the improvements to the performance with Parallel Universe and Community Patch.
I think after almost 20 years I am ready to go back and try this game. Unlike C4G this was my 3rd Gothic game and the disappointment (anger) I felt back then has endured for a long time. I really truly hated Gothic 3 because is messed up my beloved Gothic series. I still remember seeing the character models the first time playing and thinking "WTF is this!?!" Thank you for this video, I think it's high time I let go of the hate and finally play this game again.
Hello What mod do you used in the video for The paladin armour straight from gothic 2? The ones I had didn't resemble it too much And I almost finished a play through for Them only
For as much as I love PH games, Gothic 3 is one of the games I honestly have difficulty playing G3 even tho I love the world. Somehow it feels like G1 and G2 aged better. Will have to give it a chance again
This video is such a blessing. Me and a friend are very big Gothic 3 haters and we don't like literally anything (other than the full open world aspect) about the game, but when we saw your video we were like "Wow Gothic 3 is now actually Gothic". Thanks a lot for this video and also bless the youtube algorithm it sometimes does it's job.
Kinda hard to believe that you dont literally like almost anything in G3, what about the soundtrack? Graphically, it was really impressive back in 2006.
The soundtrack is nice, but compared to 1 and 2 I found the tracks overwhelming. They weren't just a part of the background but were a thing you could notice even when not paying attention which isn't something I like tbh. The graphics are probably very good for 2006, but: 1. We have seen better since then and sadly it's not 2006 anymore. 2. The characters designs are way too different from Gothic 1/2. The nameless hero apparently got a haircut on the way, and a lot of the other characters look way too different, do we have to mention Lares or Lee?
@@Korvi-Kun i completely disagree with the ost, it sounds and fits so well in G3 ( the only bad ost that gets really annoying is the combat ost), im talking about graphics for that time, the game looked better than Oblivion ( main competitor) in 2006, of course that graphics are better in newer games nowadays. Ive never mentioned models in G3 and i agree that they are bad.
Sure, you can say that for the time it beat Oblivion at the graphics, but we can also say that for the time Gothic 1/2 was the best and most immersive game ever, but it's just not 2001, 2002 or 2006 anymore. I still love those games, but they aren't the best in our times. I must say that on the music point, we will never reach a conclusion since my ears perceive sounds differently from yours. What I call overwhelming, you might love and think is perfect and well-balanced. It's just not something we will ever agree on.
guys for the union pluis mod on MOD DB.. the optional files need to be downloaded as well as they are patches for union plus... i didn't do this right away and ran into problesms
actually, it seems the files in the optional file labeled as patches are things included earlier in the video. Such as the 1.75 community patch and parallel universe patch
Yo bro nice video but I still need ur help because when I try to choose the mods in the union+ thing ( min 16:10 ) I cant open it like in the vid , there only stands something like "you dont need to install any mods" in russian language and I have not the menu where I can choose the mods . I hope u can help me pls😊
Hey, my friend and i just played trough all of Gothic 1, and Gothic 2 with a coop mod, and was awesome.. For Gothic 2 we choose the Gothic 2 Nostalgia mod. We are wondering, if there is a decent coop mod for Gothic 3, and if so, does it work with mods?
Hello C4G! I did everything like in this video, but the union launcher just stand in peace, ans nothing happen, when i press the button to load mods. There is no green lane what is loading or anything. Its lokks like its crashed, but it dont. What do you recomend to do? Love your videos, and keep making Gothic things. Long live Okara!
my setup is almost perfect, the only problem i have is because i play on linux dwm and old games that don't have borderless full screen are quite buggy, i'm trying to search for a mod that enables it, maybe if i search in german i could find it
Hey guys, after doing everything in this guide I encoutered a problem. Voice acting stopped working. I can see text lines but not even original lines are spoken. Does anyone have solution please? (steam version) (useroptions in English)
So I followed the video completely, but it feels like some of the mods did not get installed. For example my character still moves like it normaly used to and not like you showed with the ICS. Also the combat seems to be the exact same so it feels again like the combat overhaul mods did not get installed.. I wonder what I am doing wrong?
in CIS we love to play old school game.... we don't play shit like New World, Tarisland, and same , we prefer Aion, WoW, Lineage... we don't play 2020+ rpgs, because its trash, we prefer Skyrim RFAB (the best mod ever for skyrim, if u didn't play Skyrim RFAB - you never seen skyrim before), Gothic 2 Returning 2.0 New Balance, Union + for Gothic 3. All of this mods - absolutely insane, rfab - have been developing for 10 years, and the returning for Gothic 2 is more than 14 years, R2.0 has 144 fps, has direct x 11, has rtx, has a lot of build, like Dark wizard, or water wizard or dark warrior... many new location, guilds, change of main quests and expansion of gameplay in all directions... all of this mods developed in CIS...
Hey man, thanks for your video. Do you know why with AB OFF (and New game of course) I still got skill points from teachers as I had it in ON mode? All the teachers have high LP demanding for skills, I remember that with AB OFF they should ask you like 5 LP for almost every skill.. but it doesn't work. Even with a specific mod I've found on Nexus (and AB ON like mod requirmenst), seems not working. I don't know what could be causing this issue..
I'll keep updating this pinned comment with answers to some questions and problems you guys might have:
- Some GoG users have reported that the language switches to Russian after installing these mods. If you have this issue here is what to check:
Documents folder > gothic3 folder > open up useroptions.ini with notepad > "VoiceLanguage=English". If it says Russian or anything else, just change it to English.
You can also check SubtitleLanguage and Subtitles, if you have problems with lost dialogue or language. They should be: "SubtitleLanguage=English" and "Subtitle=true"
- There is no English voice acting for new quest/content. You can enable the mod in Union called German or Polish voice over, which includes voice acting for new content, but we still don't have English vo.

Maybe it sounds bit silly to quit just bcs some info is missing but it really matters to me. Thank you again for all the hard work you put for us to feed our nostalgia :D
Had the same problem with german language and mods. Had a mish-mash of no sub no dubs eng dubs and her dubs it was horrible. This helped a lot although I'm missing the ger dub a lot ngl
You say you do a couple of playthroughs a year on Gothic 3, do you play the other Gothics as well, or is it just 3? Your love for this game is truly inspirational!
Because of you a few years ago I found out about the fix for those long loading times. Thanks man, you're an RPG treasure!
13:54 Why is this song SOO GOOD, I fucking love Ishtar's theme so much, very ahead of its time
Dude is reading my mind. Been trying to get G3 to run smoothly for the last couple weeks and just now settled for replaying 1+2 since 3 just kept randomly crashing with union setups. I will try this and see if it works well thanks for the video. Edit: The tip with texture quality was gold!
This game will never die. Long live Gothic. I can't wait for the G3 CSP mod and the remakes to drop. I hope the History of Khorinis project gets finished at some point too.
This is the kind of video why I follow you. I am a big G3 fan and had no idea about this mod. Will try it right away. Thanks !
I've promised myself not to return to G3 until the Community "Calendar" Project gets released, so that it can feel like a truly fresh experience, but man... I think this modlist is what will finally break me. I'm actually shocked to finally see a mod that reworks combat from its foundations and not by only tweaking the balance. And that also means that my plans for a full mage playthrough go out of the window and I'll end up playing one-handed melee for a 100th time. But it's gonna be great!
Keep in mind many things will change. And the mods don't have good descriptions in union imo. I had to Google for 1h to find out why Seruk in Kap dun won't talk to me and give me his quest (3 chalice) But aside from that very good experience so far
@@larsschulze2799 did you figure out why he wouldnt give the quest? what was the reason
i find combat to be worst then ever. As if someone keep forgeting that you fight multiple enemies for the 95% of the time
Now we need an RT lighting mod and the game will look transformed .
I think computers would explode if someone tries to implement RT in G3, lmao.
RT is an fps killer for no reason stupid trend
RT already exists
ReShade + PTGI mod (from Pascal Glitcher) does it ;-)
It's 5$ tho but it worth it!
And a rtx 4090 would be able to get 40 fps with dlss lol
I saw a video about AI learning character animations on two minutes papers channel. Using that to make fighting animations could make for a new experience
This game is wronged, it is a masterpiece, it is great for its age, I have been playing it since I was 4 years old, in 2009, my father and I are the only Arabs who have played this game, thank God
Playing Gothic 3 is like coming home. Exactly like playing Skyrim. Everybody who was tough enough to play it even with the bugs knows exactly what I mean
Thanks! I was waiting for This!
LOL I downloaded everything 2 weeks ago following your last G3 video and here is a new one.
By the way do we really need CP v1.75 for the GOG version? I'm almost certain GOG version already had this patch (1st one that needs to be installed)...
I don't own it on gog but I'm 99% sure u are correct
Thank you for all the coverage of modding community of this game, gothic 2 and 3 are also my favorite RPGs ever, ill have to try this mod setup soon!
This is absolutely crazy. Exactly an hour before you posted this Video, I installed G3 😂
Sus
I wish I could afford a device that can run this game fully modded smoothly. It is literally my favorite game ever since it came out. With each new mod, my experience became better and better, a reason to replay it.
Yeah seeing click4gameplay really makes me miss my pc rpg mods era 🫤.... when I played oblivion with oscuro,titan quest with players X mod and borderlands with 4 player mod.
Been an console gamer on the past few years and not have an pc anymore and cant really afford one now 😮💨.
When I played PC I had an good old games account filled with games like almost 100 of them...now they are there collecting virtual dust
I mean it definitely sucks not be able to afford a PC but when u only aiming for games like Gothic 3 u really don't need a heavy machine. Throw a couple hundred bucks at it at best and u be chillin. Maybe look for a used system. I'm pretty sure u could get away with an input aswell. Just make sure u run at least 8gb ram for G3. Hope U gonna be able to play this game again
*igpu not input lol
@@eyn85 I have bought an Optiplex 7050 with an I5 7550 3,4 Ghz , 8 GB Ram DDR4 and a 256 ssd for like 80 $. I then bought a GTX 1650 4GB Vram for like 100$ and slowly upgraded my RAM and added a 1TB SSd which was a must. I have barely surpassed the 200$ mark and I can run K:CD , ultra modded Skyrim, certainly Gothic 3 and what not for not even half the price of a PS5. I've played the newest releases there is on this system, and it runs most games pre 2020 smooth like butter. I've never come across a game that I have wanted to play and was unable to run. You can definitely do it on a budget brother !
Cara, você é um tesouro pra quem gosta de Gothic. Consegui instalar tudo do video anterior, mesmo usando Linux, mas não cheguei a terminar o jogo. Agora é hora de jogar G3 novamente.
@@Auridian eita,salve,somos os únicos brs por aqui provavelmente kkkkk
Não são não 👊🏻
Estou tendo problemas com o jogo.. Simplesmente o chão da área do deserto e da da área gelada do mapa não carregam pra mim....
@@israelde4043 É melhor checar a PCgamingwiki ou o site ProtonDB (ou mesmo WineDB), que mesmo sendo um site para rodar jogos em linux te dará uma ideia de como resolver o problema. Pesquisar "Gothic 3 ground problem" vai te dar uma direção também. Acho que cheguei a ter esse problema, mas ele provavelmente já está documentado (jogo antigo) -- hoje em dia só instalo o jogo e funciona.

Finally something that improves combat! I wanted to give another chance to G3 (only played at release, ouch) and didn't like the combat system. Now it's time for a reinstall - got the trilogy on Steam (bought years later) but didn't touch G3 from it.
Your videos about G3 are a blessing dude. G3 was my first ever RPG experience when I was 11 and it blew my mind. Can't wait to try these mods out.
Perfect timing i just finished a run after watched your 2023 ultimate video! Time for another run, thanks a lot for the video 💪
Suggestion to awesome Mac Hyder: Please, if possible, add an attack (with a keyboard combination) where the hero does a flip and attacks with a weapon. When I fought a troll, I imagined the hero doing it. It would be so awesome. Thanks for your hard work, and of course, for posting this awesome video.
Bro I also come back to G3 once in a while, the game has so much character
I play G3 every christmas season. I just love it.
Nice guide! I usually just stick to CP and that recent-ish performance patch. I'll follow this one next time I go back to Gothic 3.
Thanks for the heads-up on the ini-file tweaking and graphics settings. Pretty critical knowledge.
I had a horrible time with the mods installed when I previously tried Union. 3 crashes in my first two hours of playtime, and ultimately, a save corrupting crash that ended that playthrough (I did have a mirror save, but it was like 40 minutes behind, and I was so frustrated I just couldn't bother.
Oh, this is particularly interesting to me. After I ran into a problem, I was too lazy to reinstall and reconfigure the mods. I will try that, maybe I can get my 2023 save to work again.
Thanks for the update.
Imagine someone redone orcs to have attacks like lizardmen from risen 1. Its almost the same engine.
I absolutely love your videos on this Game. Its my all time favorite RPG and will it will bever stop to surprise me on every playthrough I do.
Hope you will bever run out of videos on this game :)
Thank you for this video. I wish more UA-camrs did this.
9:20 No. Enchantment weapon skill adds in Conquest mod. Skill "magic weapon" add in Balance Ultimate. And it just gives you the opportunity to use magical weapons like the "runesword"
only gothic 3 and mad max gave me proper vast desert vibes. maybe the hissing wastes in inquisition too
The mod was updated today. Gothic 3 and Gothic 3 FG (Ultra INI).
Great video! Wish I knew about it years ago when playing gothic 3 now feel like I might still play it someday.
Have they done something similar for the later games? Like G1 G2?
There is the Othello mod for Gothic 1 and there are quite a few Gothic 2 mods. Honestly, G2 Gold is perfect. No need for mods, aside maybe for DX11 and HD textures.
Also, give a try to Archollos if you haven't yet.
All of the above. For G1 u might run into trouble with dx11 but other than that both games work like a charm on steam since they had workshop integration.
Such a great vid here. A big respect to your Gothic fanbase
Good timing, I'm about to finish gothic 2, might move onto this next
Gothic 3 is click4gameplay favorite of the series😂 almost always with his two handed weapon and full plate....I guess this is his second video on how to play a gothic 3 fully modded
Thank you for excellent video, hopefully I would finally be able to play this gaem for more than half an hour :D
Thank you so much for this video! It made me smile for the whole 20 minutes. I will 100% play this beutifull game again in christmas holidays.
I have to admit, you make it very tempting to give Gothic 3 another chance. I played it a while ago after the Parallel Patch was released, and was still a bit disappointed because of how clunky it felt. I intend to play the game in German, but it seems that Union also has German available according to your pinned comment? I'm gonna give it another try, thanks for the video!
Looking forward to see what Pithead Studio has up their sleeve!
Quick question - did anyone encounter a problem where some interactions, ability descriptions and dialogues added by the mod pack won't display proper text, but either "???" or in my case "[PL]" instead? I know this game inside out and I know that this issue only occurs with the things added with the mod pack and I'd get if it was consistent althroughout, but other added things are displayed properly. It might also be that the problem only occurs with the Polish translation of the modpack. And while I can already hear you say: "Just play in English" - while I normally play video games either in English or in a language of the region presented in the game (Ezio trilogy in Italian, KC:D in Czech etc.), the Polish dubbing in the Gothic series is an integral part of the experience for the Polish fandom
Dude... I finished two back to back playthroughs last week... guess it's time to do one more lol
very cool mod, i remember that Gothic 3 in terms of balance was even worse that first 2 games, and bad fighting mechanics is a problem of all 3 games. Nice to see the improvements in this field! I want to replay it now :)
ZNAO sam da si naš po akcentu :) odličan video!
thinking about going to play Gothic 2 or 3 again.
In the end I decided to wait for the Gothic 1 remake, but now that I've seen this I think I'll start with Gothic 3 for the 1000th time.😂
Love this combat mode! the combat in Gothic 3 was the most repulsive to me.
If you can just answer a few questions.
Roughly when would a new version of that combat mode come out?
And if you can explain a little about the fight with the shield?
Your relationship with Gothic 3 is the same as mine with Morrowind. Something about these games hits different.
Did you tried yet "Dread Delusion" and "Lunacid"? ;-)
@@igorthelight No, but none of the two look like Morrowind in any way. Lunacid looks more like King's Field and that Dread Delusion I don't know, I just dont like the visuals nor the setting
@@eduardo0379 Fair point!
Awesome! Mainly liking and commenting, but I love this game. It's often an overlooked gem.
Thank you bunches, for the detailed breakdown. I went to GoG due to them having more supportive files for G3. Would these mods work in that environment as well?
I love this game!
First rpg fantasy adventure game I played as a teen.
So glad to see it's still going strong!
And the music.. I still listen to the soundtrack occasionally.
About the combat mod: I do hope the animations will still look "smooth" because Risen 1 - despite having arguably the best combat system and progression in that regard by Piranha Bytes - has weird animation transitions imo. They feel a bit cartoony, unlike the ones in Gothic, where even Gothic 3 has smooth transitiosn (as if a real human is handling the weapon in that moment).
Other than that, very excited for the future of combat mods!
Thanks for the guide! Any idea why I can only loot corpses by holding right mouse button, but it doesn't let me pick up things from the ground with it?
i played Gothic 1 and 2 , i never played 3 or finished it with a Demo back in the days so its time to play it ^^ thanks for showing love to the real rpgs
Thanks a lot for giving me reason to play this gem again!
I wish they would make a mod where you hold 2h swords like in gothic 2. It is kinda ironic cuz in g1 and g2 the 2h weapons animations were made for swords and when you held an axe it looked silly and in g3 they made 2h animations look like they were made for axes and 2h swords look silly ( you hold the blad with your other hand ;D )
Looks great. Definitely going to try it. Is there any fix or workaround for trees and bushes not working right when using integrated graphics?
thank you so much for this, liked and subbed
Oh yeah, I was one of the guys who had issues with these mods, for example, If I changed them I would loose my save games, but beside of that there were a lot of weird glitches that made the game unplayable
Thanks man, need to pass the 8 years for the Gothic 3 Remake somehow
First of all, thank you again man, the Gothic content you provide and the updates/informations for Gothic 3 really helps me and want me to play it again.
I skipped it now for 2 Years and play more Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 mods.
But I got a question:
Is there the possibilty to turn on the Skin Mod for the Orcs, so that they look like in the Games Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 ?
The Mod exist, but I didnt saw this option in the Mod Loader or on your Video.
Thank you and keep it up!
Thanks man!
As for the skin orc mod, you can definitely use it if you wish. There are several skin orc mods in the launcher, and you can choose. I'm using the light version of Orcs from Gothic 2, but you can use the full version by just activating the mod in the launcher.
@@click4gameplay Thank you so much!!!
Great video! Thank you mora!
Nice man. Is there any way to replace this game's default, awful comic sans font, to a Gothic 1/2-like font?
I was going to play candy crush on my break but then I've seen this notification
Awesome timing for me hyst watched the 2023 version , thx
Gothic 3 remake when
Man, I wish!
I mean it's possible that in the Future if the Gothic 1 Remake is a success that we could see a Gothic 3 Remake
At Least that is what i'm Coping for
Hope they keep remaking the series after the Gothic 1 Remake. So ... 10 years till G3 Remake :D
Finally international Gothic content 😄
Hope this german masterpiece will finally become what it meant to be 🙏🏼
Easy to follow guide, got this installed easy. I replayed Gothic II and played Archolos for the first time last year, I never really finished Gothic III. Gonna give this a shot.
I have 1 question, what is the mod for the enemy health bars? I wanna disable it. Or is there a mod for minimal UI?
I think the enemy health bar is the statbar value mod
In the parallel universes patch notes it is explicitly stated that you have to install any mods FIRST before applying it. C4G is being a very naughty boi in the tutorial, lol.
My god the combat looks so much better, I never played Gothic 3 because I couldn't get over how the MC was swinging swords around like a ballerina, seems it's time to give it another shot.
Great game but never finished it as its so big. May do a replay with your mod list when I retire next year, when I should have the time to enjoy and finish it
Just finished the install about to test now
Let me know how it goes.
Great video. Is it recommended to play vanilla or go straight for these mods for first play through?
I recommend playing with the mods on top of it, because they improve rather than alter the vanilla game quite a bit. Not to mention the improvements to the performance with Parallel Universe and Community Patch.
I'd like to see a video of mods, just like this, with Risen 1. I love that game, just like gothic 3.
I think after almost 20 years I am ready to go back and try this game. Unlike C4G this was my 3rd Gothic game and the disappointment (anger) I felt back then has endured for a long time. I really truly hated Gothic 3 because is messed up my beloved Gothic series. I still remember seeing the character models the first time playing and thinking "WTF is this!?!"
Thank you for this video, I think it's high time I let go of the hate and finally play this game again.
Ugh.....fine! I'll replay it!......after I play through 1 and 2 (the second is the best, that is not up for discussion!).
Hello
What mod do you used in the video for The paladin armour straight from gothic 2?
The ones I had didn't resemble it too much
And I almost finished a play through for Them only
For as much as I love PH games, Gothic 3 is one of the games I honestly have difficulty playing G3 even tho I love the world.
Somehow it feels like G1 and G2 aged better. Will have to give it a chance again
100% agree!
This video is such a blessing. Me and a friend are very big Gothic 3 haters and we don't like literally anything (other than the full open world aspect) about the game, but when we saw your video we were like "Wow Gothic 3 is now actually Gothic". Thanks a lot for this video and also bless the youtube algorithm it sometimes does it's job.
Imagine PB had a year or two more to cook
Kinda hard to believe that you dont literally like almost anything in G3, what about the soundtrack? Graphically, it was really impressive back in 2006.
The soundtrack is nice, but compared to 1 and 2 I found the tracks overwhelming. They weren't just a part of the background but were a thing you could notice even when not paying attention which isn't something I like tbh.
The graphics are probably very good for 2006, but:
1. We have seen better since then and sadly it's not 2006 anymore.
2. The characters designs are way too different from Gothic 1/2. The nameless hero apparently got a haircut on the way, and a lot of the other characters look way too different, do we have to mention Lares or Lee?
@@Korvi-Kun i completely disagree with the ost, it sounds and fits so well in G3 ( the only bad ost that gets really annoying is the combat ost), im talking about graphics for that time, the game looked better than Oblivion ( main competitor) in 2006, of course that graphics are better in newer games nowadays. Ive never mentioned models in G3 and i agree that they are bad.
Sure, you can say that for the time it beat Oblivion at the graphics, but we can also say that for the time Gothic 1/2 was the best and most immersive game ever, but it's just not 2001, 2002 or 2006 anymore. I still love those games, but they aren't the best in our times.
I must say that on the music point, we will never reach a conclusion since my ears perceive sounds differently from yours. What I call overwhelming, you might love and think is perfect and well-balanced. It's just not something we will ever agree on.
After i downloaded all the mods i liked, I cant see any dialogue boxes when i speak to npc’s anymore?
guys for the union pluis mod on MOD DB.. the optional files need to be downloaded as well as they are patches for union plus... i didn't do this right away and ran into problesms
thanks, was wondering that myself
actually, it seems the files in the optional file labeled as patches are things included earlier in the video. Such as the 1.75 community patch and parallel universe patch
Hi all, i am at a new quest called "the navigator" where i have to find a chest in a ruined tower near Trelis, but i cant find it, any ideas?
Yo bro nice video but I still need ur help because when I try to choose the mods in the union+ thing ( min 16:10 ) I cant open it like in the vid , there only stands something like "you dont need to install any mods" in russian language and I have not the menu where I can choose the mods . I hope u can help me pls😊
Hey, my friend and i just played trough all of Gothic 1, and Gothic 2 with a coop mod, and was awesome.. For Gothic 2 we choose the Gothic 2 Nostalgia mod.
We are wondering, if there is a decent coop mod for Gothic 3, and if so, does it work with mods?
Hello C4G! I did everything like in this video, but the union launcher just stand in peace, ans nothing happen, when i press the button to load mods. There is no green lane what is loading or anything. Its lokks like its crashed, but it dont. What do you recomend to do?
Love your videos, and keep making Gothic things. Long live Okara!
my setup is almost perfect, the only problem i have is because i play on linux dwm and old games that don't have borderless full screen are quite buggy, i'm trying to search for a mod that enables it, maybe if i search in german i could find it
Hey guys, after doing everything in this guide I encoutered a problem. Voice acting stopped working. I can see text lines but not even original lines are spoken. Does anyone have solution please? (steam version) (useroptions in English)
So I followed the video completely, but it feels like some of the mods did not get installed. For example my character still moves like it normaly used to and not like you showed with the ICS. Also the combat seems to be the exact same so it feels again like the combat overhaul mods did not get installed.. I wonder what I am doing wrong?
in CIS we love to play old school game.... we don't play shit like New World, Tarisland, and same , we prefer Aion, WoW, Lineage... we don't play 2020+ rpgs, because its trash, we prefer Skyrim RFAB (the best mod ever for skyrim, if u didn't play Skyrim RFAB - you never seen skyrim before), Gothic 2 Returning 2.0 New Balance, Union + for Gothic 3. All of this mods - absolutely insane, rfab - have been developing for 10 years, and the returning for Gothic 2 is more than 14 years, R2.0 has 144 fps, has direct x 11, has rtx, has a lot of build, like Dark wizard, or water wizard or dark warrior... many new location, guilds, change of main quests and expansion of gameplay in all directions... all of this mods developed in CIS...
Hey man, thanks for your video. Do you know why with AB OFF (and New game of course) I still got skill points from teachers as I had it in ON mode? All the teachers have high LP demanding for skills, I remember that with AB OFF they should ask you like 5 LP for almost every skill.. but it doesn't work. Even with a specific mod I've found on Nexus (and AB ON like mod requirmenst), seems not working. I don't know what could be causing this issue..
I'm currently replaying gothic 2 ATM, I may move to gothic 3 next.... Or just chronicles of archalos
The Second Live of Gothic 3 :)
