Just recently found your channel and watched the first two episodes in the series. I have been wondering, when the video about the Brotherhood would come out. Nice work! Thanks for keeping people's interest in the Gothic series alive

[@vertigo7082]

Thanks mate! Gothic is going strong even now, twenty years later. Great community and great mods. Check out Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos. I have a blast playing this mod, just superb!

[@Althaen]

Vertigo thx, I'll check it out!

While I liked the lakeside part of the New Camp I always felt that the Swamp Camp always felt like home. Albeit a rainy mazelike home at times but home nonetheless. I liked the architecture and the second story tree dwellings. I only wished I could get the chance to be a guru and not just a templar. I did try some of the mods that included the chance to be a guru but as they went to the second to last circle of magic it always felt sort of weak. Not sure how I'd improve on it though.

Swamp Camp forever. I love the atmosphere, especially in the early evening hours when the ore torches shine ever so blue and that haze gets illuminated. I'm almost certain that they do something about the Guru-situation. They need to fix that. They say they want to be true to the original but leaving that one out would be a huge, massive even, mistake on their part. The game was unfinished, make it whole please!

Excellent work and so much effort thank you so much, I want to watch more of your videos

[@N1ghthavvk]

Excellent video! You really worked in every last bit of lore there is. Well done

[@vertigo7082]

Thanks mate but there was still some info I didn't cover but 20 minutes should be enough for now. Hit me up if you have any ideas, maybe there is something I'm already working on.

[@N1ghthavvk]

@@vertigo7082 Hm, what about a video on the ancient civilization from Jharkendar? They're presumably the same as the one from the deserts of Varant (the big city there has the same guilds in it). Could be interesting to dig up as much as you can find :)

[@vertigo7082]

@@N1ghthavvk Oh shit yeah there is some solid potential but that also means I need to replay Gothic 3... nevertheless thanks buddy. have you tried Archolos yet? Great mod!

[@robso9828]

While I like and support the idea of Jharkendar people being the owners of the swamp ruins - they too may tried to get magical ore - Ialso have to other speculations about it: First, it may belong to a civilisation which war with Jharkeder, the one from which Quarhodron gained Claw of Beliar. Would tied nicely with connetion to Sleeper. Second, it may be separated part of Sleeper Temple - since it was build thousand years ago, some parts may have collapsed and cut off sections of the temple. Maybe even that area was underground thousand years ago, being corroded to it's current marshland over years by river.

Nice one!

[@jebise1126]

nah... y'berion was probably alchemist or something like that and found the weed. after he found the weed he heard the call... i mean much more interesting that way. also sleeper used that magic but sleeper was never the source of it

[@vertigo7082]

In the design documents Berion was described as a former abbot.

[@jebise1126]

@@vertigo7082 wait... as a mage? i mean we do have only mages in monastery.

[@jebise1126]

no no no... ruins are not important only weed in swamp is important so there is no need for builders of the ruins to be worshipers of the sleeper

[@vertigo7082]

The ruins and overall area were way more important in the early versions of the game. I think it wouldn't do the whole thing justice to say that only the weed is important. Besides, the temple in the swamp was originally built by orcs and the swamp was meant to have a deep connection to lost souls and shamans went there to communicate with the. There is some great material on that made by Alpha Researcher. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnzEqamceZajaZIsi=M-h8JJ0aXPW1Omu3

I think you would benefit more by making shorter, more compact videos Great potential tho
