Gothic II: Night of the Raven for PC

The expansion does not bring many significant changes to the gameplay. However, a major change can be seen in terms of difficulty, where the developer had rebalanced the whole game, and made it harder, this after being requested so by the community.

This increase in difficulty is done by adding new, more powerful animals, reducing the number of potions, and special plants found in the game, making attributes and items more expensive, and reducing the effect of permanent potions.

An addition brought by the gameplay consists of a few new skills, and special items. The player now can learn the language of the ancient people which inhabited the newly introduced city of Jharkendar, giving him the possibility to read the so-called Stone Tablets. These can be found across the whole Khorinian island, and have the property to increase the player's attributes.

Night of the Raven also introduces another skill, Acrobatics. Unlike in Gothic, this skill is learned when reaching 90 points of dexterity, and cannot be learned otherwise. Acrobatics is also not present in Gothic II.
