Othello

Another extension mod adding new areas, NPCs, some new quests and the like. Overall more extensive changes than the previous two entries, also with changes to previously existing areas in the game. It does not add new dialog lines but makes do with what’s already available in game or from cut content. More info can be found here

Manual Instructions

0. Do NOT install any patches, mods or fixes
1. Install base game (Steam or GOG version are the correct version already)
2. Install Othello
3. (Optional) Install D3D11 Renderer (with DLL override)
4. (Optional) Install functional mods you like

Note: This mod is incompatible with Ninja so many of the functional mods will not work. Also, Union must not be installed prior to mod installation because the mod uses a modified version of Union internally.

Lutris Install Script

This includes the Othello mod and a D3D11 renderer.

Note

This installation script is optimized for the Steam Deck. This includes using non-default health, mana and stamina bars as well as resizing and repositioning them. Also, the hotbar is disabled in favor of the zGamePad quick-access menus. Furthermore, the showing of items outside of the inventory is disabled because it also obscures the quick-access menu from zGamePad. If you don’t like this (or play on a bigger screen), you can (and should) adapt or delete the respective section in the script (the section modifying GOTHIC.INI). The UI elements can also be manually configured by pressing LCtrl + LAlt + V in game and following the instructions. For this a keyboard is necessary.

Caution

This mod does not support any other mods so this installer does not contain Ninja or any other mods.
