Orpheus Project has released a brand new version of its mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This mod, called Gothic Orpheus, brings the world of Piranha Bytes’ Gothic to Bethesda’s RPG. Sounds cool? Well, it sure does.
According to the team, there are 32 hand crafted quests and 52 custom items. Moreover, this mod’s quests were voiced by professional voice actors from the Skyrim Voice Alliance. This latest version of Gothic Orpheus supports both the original version of Skyrim, as well as its Special Edition.
In version 2.1, the Orpheus Project team added more AI mesh so companions have less chances of getting stuck under rock or something. Moreover, the team fixed a great amount of bugs that plagued the previous version.
This mod contains tweaks to standard Skyrim gameplay to better represent the development ideals of the mod. Furthermore, the team claims that there are multiple ways via which players can solve a problem in Gothic Orpheus.
In order to get to the world of Gothic, players will need to find the portal which is near the cave that they escaped from Helgen.
Those interested can download this mod for the original version of Skyrim from here, and for the Special Edition of Skyrim from here.
Here is how you can install this mod.

Damn it, the story is unrelated to gothic. Kinda sad.
So? the combat is still $hit
i’ed rather see the original gothic remastered in it’s own engine
there was a demo for a remastered gothic once upon a time, but i think it got canceled.
Rather just play Gothic.
This is a dreadful idea. I’d rather play Gothic…
I think it nicely shows how bland Bethesda’s graphics are.
The mod itself seems neat, though.
Out of curiosity, did you finish the original game?
I doubt most people did but it is a classic imo. For anyone interested GOG has it but wait for the Winter Sale. Probably pick it up for a couple of dollars.
I own the Gothic trilogy and the expansion for Gothic 2 (maybe also Forsaken Gods and Arcania but I don’t really care about them). But yeah, it’s a good idea for ones who haven’t played it to acquaint with this series.
I played it for a few hours (got all 3 on steam), but in the end I just couldn’t play with those controls :/
I think you can get used to the controls. It’s a matter of time. I remember when I first launched BioShock. It was old by then and I thought I wouldn’t be able to stomach its archaicness, but I just kept on playing and got used to it eventually.
Same with many other old games.
As for Gothic, I think that even though the controls in it are odd, there’s method in Piranha Bytes’ madness. It’s a pretty good system for a mouseless configuration.
Just buy Gothic 3 on GOG and get the real thing.
