Since does not manage to provide the same functionality of all SpellForce 3 games (Burning Blood, Soul Harvest and Fallen God), the community offers now an own solution to get all 3 games combined into one and have all factions also unlocked at all times and modes.
How to combine all SpellForce 3 games to one and unlock all factions on GOG
1. Install all three games. The example install path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\" but yours could be different.
2. Copy first expansion "SpellForce 3 - Soul Harvest\bin_addons_win32\EXP1_Campaign" folder into the base game ("SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32\EXP1_Campaign"). Then do the same for DLC_Bavaria folder. You can also copy EXP1_KOR if you want Korean language.
3. Copy second expansion "SpellForce 3 - Fallen God\bin_addons_win32\EXP2_Campaign" folder into the base game ("SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32\EXP2_Campaign"). You can also copy EXP2_KOR if you want Korean language.
4. After this your "C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32" folder should contain these subfolders: DLC_Bavaria, DLC_DDE, EXP1_Campaign, EXP2_Campaign, SF3_Campaign, SF3_KOR (and optionally EXP1_KOR and EXP2_KOR).
5. Rename file "C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\wrapper\thqnocfg.dat" into "thqnocfg.dat_old" (this is for backup, we will override this file in the next step). If something goes wrong then delete the patched file and rename this one back to thqnocfg.dat.
6. Download the patched thqnocfg.dat file from this post and save it in base game's "C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\wrapper\" folder.
7. Done! You can now start the base game and enjoy full functionality with both expansions working properly.
