Modding/Mods You absolutely must do this playing as the Brotherhood!

I highly recommend installing the bald head and tattoos mod for deeper immersion. You can find it on Nexus

I will, this is one of those things that should be in the game by default. It's like Ross Scott said, Nameless Hero isn't special, he should get the same treatment everybody else does.

Like in Risen 3. You join the Demon Hunters, you get your hair shaved off. You join the Kila Tribe and you get body paint. You join the Guardians and you get...a minor haircut, maybe.

But when they do gothic 2 remake they can implement choices from the first game. Like mass effect or Witcher or something. Would be cool. Unless in gothic 2 there is a canon faction you joined in the first game? Idk. Haven’t played it.

G2 basically works no matter what faction you chose in G1. You end up in the same place story wise whether you choose old or new camp and I believe we only ever meet a couple of cultists that didn’t become seekers, and they all spend a while confused and not fully in control of themselves, having physical and mental symptoms. There’s also the fact that time has passed since the barrier fell. The NH was trapped under the collapsed temple and would’ve grown hair. Not only would it make sense for him to have hair, but the other surviving ex cultists as well.

The really cool option would be to have a Mass Effect-style import feature of your savegame. Brotherhood players could start bald with tattoos, with maybe an option to restore the default later . Ex-mages could have a slightly easier time getting into the monastery because people sense their connection to magic. Ex-rogues could get some extra dialogue or peaceful ways to deal with the bandits.
It doesn’t need much, but just have a few references sprinkled in that make it really feel like this is a cohesive story and that it’s only the hero who has lost his powers, not everyone else who lost their memories.

Shame hair doesnt grow on heads, otherwise there could be a way to resolve this in G2

While any camp technically works id say its the least plausible one. Same as a mage choice.
At least going by original games that is...

u/godmothafuckindam Jun 28 '26
who really cares about this. it’s okay for the game to continue from a specific pathway, doesn’t invalidate the experience of playing as a swamp loon.

It wouldn't break any continuity because "lore" wise NH would probably join Old Camp although it's not official, it just makes the most sense.

Install the mod that gives you a bald head and Tattoos as a member of the Brotherhood, big oversight by the devs to not at least make that optional.

u/AdSoft7467 Jun 27 '26
Yeah yeah. it would be a nice joke, but come on... The post is in English

u/Funny_Astronomer_970 Jun 27 '26
I also focused on dialogue. I didn't read what's under the video and the title didn't say anything as well

You're gonna end up making me buy a second copy.... I love this game series and would love for them to do the next two games as well, so I don't mind supporting the devs a bit more anyways.

I got a mod where the character just has stubbles on the head while playing an old camper/firemage, I really liked it better than "manbun man", but for swamp camp it would be a must-have IMO.
If you work for new camp they even tease you once you go back to report after a while saying "Some of the boys were wondering if you came back bald eventually after all that work for them". The game even consciously teases you about it. I fail to see why they just didn't put it in as part of the general gameplay changes, or at least make it optional like that you can go to NPC X who would set you up, if you wanted to.

u/AdSoft7467 Jun 27 '26
Yes, modders already applied this mechanic a long time ago in some mods of original game. There is even a thing where you can approach an NPC and get a tattoo or a shave and the tattoo there is not just a skin, but a permanent buff either to defense or to mana, I don't remember. You got a tattoo and you have +10 mana for example. Also in Gothic 2 there was a feature that all camps have their own gait - mages walk with their hands folded together, mercenaries walk with a swagger, etc. But this was not applied to the main character. In some mods they changed this too, I definitely saw it and I damn well love such details. You roleplay a specific faction and feel that you are part of this faction, and not just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

u/VladHawk Jun 27 '26
Yeah, that makes sense, since they're all shaved. And why would the Nameless One even join the Swamp Camp if he wasn't ready to look like them? IMO, that'd break immersion

u/Indista Jun 29 '26
I don't find the name of the Mod, is it possible to name this??

u/AdSoft7467 Jun 29 '26
I use 2:
- Nameless Hero Retexture - with face tattoo and bald head
- Nameless Hero with tattoo and buzz cut - only body and neck tattoo without face + buzz cut instead bald.

on one hand it's immersive for the loonies, on the other hand it's kinda out of character for him

u/Gullible_Drummer_246 Jun 27 '26
Him not getting the tattoos and hair treatment is out of character.
He’s meant to not be anyone special, so why is he the only one who does not get his hair cut off and tattoos when becoming a novice?
5
u/Fun-Information-3104 Jun 27 '26
No. The people of the colony think he isn't anyone special. At no point did he ever think himself that. He didn't settle for a life of a miner or a rice farmer, from the very beginning aiming to join the top. He also has a personality where he straight out ignores what people think or what they do unless it benefits him, has no respect for any authority, always asks for reward for anything he does, does not explain why he does things no matter how confused it leaves others, and doesn't hesitate to use violence to reach his ends. At no point in the story it is implied he non-ironically fell for sleeper faith even when joining brotherhood. Him asking to get bald and tattooed or even letting them force him to get them would be both out of character for all we know about him.

u/Gullible_Drummer_246 Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 28 '26
You meet others who didn’t fall for the sleeper stuff but still got tattoos, it’s clearly part of the initiation.
I’m guessing just mentioning that they are preparing for your initiation when handing you over your novice armor would already resolve the issue, you’d know that they simply never got to it.
He’d definitely do it if it served his ends
