In a developer diary released last year, Alkimia Interactive revealed its plans to address the latter stages of Gothic. These include elaborating upon underused locations, adding extra side quests, and expanding upon the story and status of the game&#8217;s orcs, even developing a whole new language for them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/aE2p-piXpoM\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>More broadly, publisher THQ also claims Gothic 1 will feature ambitious quest design where the game will react dynamically to player choices, NPCs with daily routines (which was very much a part of the original game) and ambient wildlife with natural behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds promising, though we should bear in mind that this is Alkimia&#8217;s first game, and such overambition was what led to Gothic being a flawed gem in the first instance.
