Gothic 3: Armor And Weapon Rebuilt - Update 2.2

Global Update 2.2 (165+ new additions)

This time, every single outfit, armor, and NPC body texture has been reworked. In addition to improved textures, I wanted to adjust proportions and fix model attachment issues. It’s no secret that Piranha Bytes struggled with these aspects, and most players either overlooked or simply accepted them.

Of course, new helmets and a wide variety of weapons have also been added.

This modification is recommended to be used together with another newly created mod, which I’ll share right after this post — most likely tomorrow. So if you’re interested in playing with this update, it’s best to wait — I’ll upload and describe everything here. :)

Everything was translated from Russian using AI, so there may be a few small text errors.
